The drag queen, 12

Schoolboy is ‘Naughty Nora’

By JOHN COLES

 

A SCHOOLBOY aged 12 has been crowned the DRAG QUEEN of his village - and his parents are delighted.

Redvers Stokes slips on his mum's bra, a tight pink dress, blonde wig and towering heels to become "Naughty Nora".

He clinched the title against tough competition from local men by belting out camp versions of Michael Jackson's Thriller and Dolly Parton hits.

The tiny Cornish village of Sticker, near St Austell, started its drag queen contest two years ago - because not enough girls among the population of around 1,000 were competing to be carnival queen.

 

 

Success in a dress ... Redvers Stokes

Redvers, who is also a keen showjumper, began wearing his mother's clothes when he was small. Now he attends village events in full drag costume and make-up.

He said: "I don't think there's anything wrong with it, I think it's really funny. And my friends think it's really cool. I've always been open to new things. I might like dressing up in women's clothes but I still like girls. It's just a little hobby of mine."

 

Proud ... Redvers Stokes with mum Georgia and dad Matthew

His mum Georgia, 43, who runs a riding centre with husband Matthew, said: "I couldn't be more proud.

"His Naughty Nora routine is very convincing. I've never been concerned. Redvers just loves being the centre of attention. He has no plans to make it a career."

 

ARE PARENTS RIGHT?

YES

Says Drag Queen BARBARA BUSH

I DON'T think there is anything wrong with starting that young - it's absolutely fine.

I started when I was 13 or 14, so there's no problem with 12 as far as I'm concerned.

My parents weren't happy, but they've come round and now I'm doing well for myself.

The fact that Redvers's family is supporting him is brilliant. I think people are becoming more understanding about these things now.

If I could give him any advice it would be to keep his head up. He might get some bad reactions, but he should stay strong.

 

NO

Says Sun Agony Aunt DEIDRE SANDERS

  REDVERS has a real extrovert talent, which his family, friends and village appreciate.

But in his parents' shoes, I would have been wary of letting a 12-year-old publicly label himself as a drag queen.

He's about to head into the turbulent teenage years, where sadly, difference is an excuse for bullying.

His parents will need to be on the alert for signs that his crossdressing is bringing him grief, not fun.

Drag queen winner is only 12

Redvers’ story comes as an increasing number of parents decide to support their child’s experiments outside gender norms. When progressive Seattle mum Cheryl Kilodavis discovered her 4-year-old son liked to wear pretty girls’ costumes, she was fine with it – and even wrote a cute book about Her Princess Boy.

Let me guess....the girls didn't want to compete in the contest for Carnival Queen because the miltant Leftist feminists have been telling them for decades that it's "degrading" to women.

So now they get this.

I frequently tell my kids that when peoples’ lives are not guided by the Holy Spirit, you get this crazy stuff.

What happened to dads?

He’ll grow up to be Prime Minister. Thanks Stoat.

And you're absolutely right.

Hopefully the National Health Service provides free counseling...he’s gonna need a lot of it.

BINGO - Kick God out of the public square - and this is not unexpected.

What happened to dads?

 

When the cancer of Socialism and the Left starts metastisizing in them, they turn into spineless idiots who encourage their sons to dress in women's clothing.

I wouldn't doubt it for a moment.  You're quite welcome, and thank you for pinging your list :-)

What happened to dads?

They were conned into getting the psychological equivalent of a sex change operation to get in touch with their "feminine side."

I'm sure you're correct.  If my recollection serves, at least one famous and prolific American serial killer claimed that his mother had made him wear girls' clothes and had paraded him in front of her boyfriends.  I think it was Henry Lee Lucas.

An entire community of brainwashed knuckleheads, at minimum.

In saner and more moral world, the parents would be charged with child abuse.

[A_perfect_lady]

Don’t worry. I’ve known plenty of class clown types who will totally do something like this for the attention, but grow up to be utterly average straight guys.
