@freemo have you a link? I never imagined that this film can became a problem.
@mzan A link to what exactly? The film wasnt a problem, thats the point of the post. Now that "drag queen story hour" is a big issue and everyone is complaining refering to this movie is meant to contrast the absurdity, as it happened in the movie and no one gave a shit.
@freemo so are you speaking about this? https://www.dragstoryhour.org/
Are they reading normal children books? In case I agree. Are they reading "manipulated" books, with a transgender agenda? I don't agree.
@mzan they generally read perfectly normal childrens books when ive seen it.
Some Like It Hot (1959)
Also, I think there were a couple of silent-era films that featured men in drag, but I don't remember the names.
>"...books, with a transgender agenda? I don't agree."
What is a "transgender agenda". Do you mean books about the 24th Amendment, or the Preamble to the Constitution, or the introduction to the Declaration of Independence?
I think there is legitimate concern here about trans-women in women sports. That said I dont see the solution as "base entry on birth-sex".. the solution is much more subtle IMO and needs to be gender neutral, I dont know what that solution is. Maybe just have divisions and dont base it on gender at all.
> "...books, with a transgender agenda? I don't agree."
I read that in USA someone is considering "Sleeping Beauty" as a case of rape, because the prince kissed the "beauty" without her consent, while she was sleeping. So, with these premises, and without having a clear situation of the campaign (that now I believe/assume is in good faith), I were thinking to a Drag Queen telling about "The Ugly Duckling" in a distort way...
At this point I worry about an Only-fans teacher, telling "Cinderella", explaining to the girls how to become a gold digger, and to the boys about the joy of foot-fetishism π
It is not the exact content of the books, because the majority of tales and children books contain also strange/worrying elements, but it is the way the narrator tells them. As in life.

A masterpiece is "The Crying Game" by Neil Jordan.

No, I mean things like "if you become a woman, you can become a professional female athlete" or "there are no differences in the mind of a man respect the mind of a woman" and other similar crazy things.
