Some low-grade cross-dressing drama, complete with finger-wagging:

Are you not persuaded?

Mr Zara Paquette, our vision of loveliness, has been featured here before, when barking his commands to the actress Keira Knightley, as if she would be watching and dutifully taking notes. Like a good, obedient woman.

Update, via the comments:

Rafi asks,

Hygiene aside, I’m still processing the fact that a man who wants to violate women’s private spaces, who regards womanhood as some kind of costume, and who expects deference from women regarding what they may think and say, is now lecturing us on “patriarchy,” misogyny, and “toxic men.”

Everyone remember where we parked.

Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.

Further to this, which some of you are still processing – understandably, I suppose – I do have more. Complete with wearied question:

Who actually enjoys this? Serious question, who enjoys watching this stuff? It’s not even a morality question or whatever. It’s who the hell finds this entertaining? https://t.co/f3sA7wytqx

In the subsequent thread, the term humiliation ritual is deployed.

Not unfairly, I think.

Other questions include “Is this real?”

Update, via the comments:

In reply to the question immediately above, EmC notes this,

And asks,

It does, I think, raise the question of whether further resolutions, and further transvestite vamping, will be required for drag queens of other racial and ethnic groups. Lest some drag queens feel insufficiently included and affirmed.

Hm. I suspect today may be a day of many questions.

A possible series:

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service wants to know what you think of this.

According to the North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service:

Lest anyone assume that fire engines don’t turn up to the burning houses of sassy, finger-clicking transvestites, or something.

Curiously, the North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service survey form, inviting the public to express their views on Pride attendance and matters of transvestite outreach, has, with seeming briskness, now been shut down.

Readers may wish to speculate on why that might be.

And when you think Fire and Rescue Service, what you want is a mental image of vamping, squealing drag queens in unfeasible heels and flammable wigs, tottering unsteadily to your rescue while wrestling suggestively with a big hose.

Lifted from the comments.

Update:

Did I say possible series…? Why, yes, I believe I did.

Lifted from the comments, two scenes of very modern divulging. 

First up, a behatted chap informs us that “women have many features.” In describing such features, much is revealed:

“People criticize me for dating a trans woman. Saying that I am a homosexual for doing so.”

Also, the question: “You can’t push it to the side?” 

And because more can always be shared, a blue-haired mother discusses her son’s penis with a room full of strangers:

“Medically, on paper, she is girl. She is just as much a girl as any other girl in the school. So she has a penis, guess what? It’s flaccid. 90% of the time it’s flaccid.”

Readers will doubtless have noted the remarks on turgidity and percentages, and may have calculated that ten percent of twenty-four hours is two hours and twenty-four minutes, which, regarding the phenomenon in question, is not an insignificant amount of time. Readers may also wonder by what motherly means this knowledge of arousal was arrived at.

Readers may even have theories as to how the son of this particular mother, the one with blue hair and extensive tattoos, came to be so unsure of who and what he is. 

Consider this an open thread.

A possible series on a theme of belated pushback. I’ll set the ball rolling with this, lifted from the comments.

Fat Man With Far Side Glasses Takes Down Flag:

When not mournfully taking down flags, the chap above, named Emerald, our shaper of young minds, imagines himself as Barbie, and likes to stipulate his fabulist pronouns, which are numerous, and which vary according to location, mood, and medication:

And,

Whether children should feel safe when left in a subordinate position with a mentally unstable cross-dressing man whose forearms bear what appear to be self-harm cutting scars, I leave to the reader. 

Emerald would have us believe,

Which raises the question of why flags affirming serious mental illness, compelled unrealism, and surgical mutilation were felt to be necessary props in a classroom where children learn English.

Or, as commenter EmC put it,

Yes, that.
