I wanted to fuck adult women when I was 11. That's not "society cheering" though, that's just men reminiscing their earliest lusts (or posting South Park memes because that's the full extent of their humor).
I think they're most popular among mothers of participating daughters that wish they received more attention in school.
Sexualized or just admired? I don't think thinking someone is attractive or beautiful automatically means sex either
What exactly are we admiring when a child puts on a form-fitting dress, lipstick, heels and struts around? Maybe I just don't get it or my revulsion when it comes to children is too reactionary.
EDIT: Also, before getting called a "libtard" and "leftist" by the American posters here, I'm not advocating for using kids on these parades - I would probably agree that it's not a good place for kids.
In case you're not aware, some of these "drag kids" literally perform on stage, dancing at clubs.
He wants to wear a lipstick even though he will be laughed at and called a freak and he does it. That gives courage to other people, even though they're grown-ups, to do the things they want to do and wear things they want to wear. There's a lot of people like this.
That's the whole point really, stop looking for pedophilia in there.
And don't ask me why they want to wear a lipstick, I don't fucking know and I don't care. Lipsticks are disgusting.
I never said the kids are being exposed to this/dressed up like this due to pedophilia you libtard.
MY point is that regardless of intentions these children are being sexualised and exposed to an adult environment. Children shouldn't be there to be dressed up and paraded around to boost the confidence of adults. They're kids, not icons of the LGBTQ+ to be exploited.
I don't care how a child experiments with their identity in the privacy of their own home. It isn't the point.
Also no, experimenting with your identity doesn't require socialising
