Maybe complete and total inclusivity isn’t as easy as it sounds. The organizers of Free Pride Glasgow in Scotland have hit a snag in their mission to plan a totally inclusive event: Some activists think drag queens are offensive to transgender people, others think banning drag queens is offensive to transgender drag queens, and still others think allowing only transgender drag queens is offensive to cisgender drag queens.

Honestly, we should just let these people dress whatever way they want because if we ignore them when they're dressed as women, they'll go back to dressing as men ....... They'll just figure out some PC name to call it like post-transdrag king......or something, which is code for twisted attention whore.

Just call them female impersonators and have done with it.

So cross-dressing is the new “black-face?”

Orange is the new black. The Spokane NAACP leader and a famous Democratic Senator have told us that race is what you want it to be or what you identify with to hell with DNA.

Gay rights trumps religious freedom rights, free speech rights and the freedom of assembly.

And finally we have a President born in Hawaii (where ever) with strange social security numbers that don't make sense and a birth certificate that is an obvious fake.

This new normal thing is hard to take.

I was a man...now I'm a woman.

Then I wanted to be a boy....so I did that.

But now...I wanted to be a woman again...

Then now I'm a man once more.

Every day there is more evidence that America has become an idle, decadent and self-oriented culture.

When you don't have barbarians invading your town and killing you, when you easy access to food any hour of the day and when you have time to throw parades regarding your sex life, you really have few real worries.

"What's this world coming to"?

[mumblypeg]

“Normal” people in this story WERE offended. The “cis” drag queens are apparently heterosexuals who happen to like to dress in drag. And apparently their presence in the parade offended others. Who thought they were being parodied.
Think Milton Berle.
I think. But I could be wrong.

Him: hey baby, wanna fool around tonight ?

Her: Not now, I have a micro-aggression.

[UCANSEE2]

how come no one is ever concerned about offending normal people?

Because normal people don't act like spoiled three year olds.

[Salman]

Mere female impersonators are out.
Only the truly delusional need apply.

[mumblypeg]

“In fact, Free Pride Glasgow’s attempt at making sure the event was completely free of anything offensive wound up offending some people so much that they’re calling on everyone to boycott it altogether.”

Well! That’s encouraging!

Ms. Timpf specializes in locating the weirder elements of the progressive crowd and dragging them out into the sunlight for all to see. I’m a fan.

Admittedly, they give her a lot of material.

If I don’t manage to commit 2-3 microaggressions before breakfast, the day isn’t off to a good start.

Isn't a "pride" event offensive to devotees of the other six deadly sins?

To be inclusive they need to call it a Seven Deadly Sins Event.

These insane are quite entertaining in a special way.
