<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is nothing new about men dressing as women. ; In the days of Shakespeare, all the women’s theatrical roles were played by men. ; No respectable woman would be seen on the stage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Crossdressing has been a staple in comedy. ; Comedian Milton Berle – known as “Mr. Television” &#8211;made a career out of prancing across the small screen in ladies’ wear. ; One of Hollywood’s all-time classics – “Some Like it Hot” – had Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon evading mob killers by getting into girdles.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even way back in the 1950s, Ed Sullivan featured a guy doing an impressive imitation of Judy Garland on his Sunday evening program.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There has been a cultural difference between crossdressing as comedy and as more sexual entertainment. ; Drag shows and drag nightclubs could be found in virtually every city in America since … ???  ; Well, as long as I can recall. ; ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We had one near my home in Chicago. ; One evening, we took one of our more innocent friends to see the featured singer. ; Our friend was very pleased in that macho way that the singer took a special liking to him – groping hands under the table. ; We later revealed to his dismay that the singer was a guy. ; Oh, what fun.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There has been a difference between comedic crossdressing and the more salacious entertainment – from suggestive material to stripping. ; The audience for those acts was a matter of age – and what was considered age appropriate. ; ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today, the age thing is being breached in various ways. ; Suddenly, we are finding instances of crossdressing being introduced to prepubescent children – even toddlers. ; There have been crossdressing shows – the salacious kind – for high school and even elementary school children. ; It is part of a larger issue of sex and gender being introduced at the earliest ages.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Young children are being encouraged to question their own sexuality and gender liquidity – even access to gender-altering surgery and drugs. ; </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While the youngest children know the difference between being a boy or a girl – and the vast majority hold to that view for their entire life – many of them are being encouraged to self-determine their sexual identity at an age when they barely understand the biological and social implications of being a boy or a girl – that what biology makes obvious can be nullified by will before the age of reason.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been criticized by Democrats and left-wing media for passing a law that prohibits teaching sexuality before the fourth grade – around the time a child is 10 years old. ; They claim it is homophobic and a violation of the civil rights of the LBGTQ+ community.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Critics go on to say that young children are already able to determine their gender – and express desires to crossdress (with or without gender mashing).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am an extremely tolerant person regarding folks with alternative lifestyles, but there is a time and place. ; </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am at loss to see any benefit – or any legitimate reason – why any sort of sexual content should be introduced at such an early age. ; It is not because these intrusions into the kiddie world are dealing with alternative lifestyles. ; I do not think that content dealing with heterosexuality has a place in the curriculum of five-year-olds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I wonder what is the reason why the left believes otherwise? ; What is their purpose? ; It makes no sense to me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, there ’tis.</p>
