But remember everybody: trans people and drag queens are just seconds away from being snuffed off the face of the earth by evil rightwing death squads who hate minorities, want women barefoot and pregnant, and want to make us live under a Christofascist (how I loathe that word) dictatorship.
That is what makes the people pushing this stuff more insidious than the residents of the Capitol from Suzanne Collins's "Hunger Games" series, even if the one thing they have in common is that being disgusting, distasteful, bizarre, and gaudy is part of how they demonstrate their power over others.
As far as I remember, the Capitol people in the movies (I did not read the books) never claimed to be victims of the other Districts.
Yet we have seen tons of wailing and gnashing of teeth every time someone objects to letting kids watch (or, worse, participate in) drag shows or saying children should not be prevented from undergoing puberty and pumped full of opposite-sex hormones.
