To answer yours though, because that's how a conversation works, is it 'normal'; no. Do I find anything wrong with the child being a drag queen, no.
I do not agree with one thing, and that is the child's parents encouraging the child. There is a difference in support and encouragement. If the parents are pushing the child to this, and if for any reason something happens then you'd run the risk of some kind of resentment.click to expand

i dont agree with this either. especially promoted over the internet. sure, let your kid explore and find themself... in the comfort of your own home where you can sit and talk about things like society and history and whatnot. i think these parents are irresponsible just like the ones encouraging their children to be trans if they dont feel masculine or feminine enough. they should be promoting indiviuality while truly educating them and giving them the time to think and grow and decide if thats truly what they want or if they just need attention, an expression for creativity, etc. just mho but parents need to stop confusing their kids and give them time to grow up and help them figure themselves out. social media promotion of one's child kinda sickens me bc it says way more about the parent. sure some kids truly want the spotlight at young ages but encourage them to explore acting or something before leading them to the internet. it's setting kids up for failure...
im all for originality and being yourself but most kids dont really know what they want. let them grow up and decide. give them as much knowledge beforehand and if thats what they still choose, fantastic. at least as a parent i would have comfort in knowing they made an informed adult decision.

Posted by Shadowcati was simply pointing out another relevant child subject along the similar gender lines. we are in agreement that crossdressing is in no way related. there's nothing wrong with it. like it's been said tho, probably best to keep private until the child is mature enough to decide how they want to proceed. the biggest point is communication with your child and selflessness.Posted by AbbyNormalI feel the need to clarify that being a crossdresser isn't the same as being trans. They are two completely different things. I'm hesitant to say that they're even related by much. Plus I would hardly call someone this young a crossdresser. He's probably just having fun. People are taking this way too seriously.

Being a protector doesn't entitle anyone to judge (read what Seraph wrote, it pretty much sums it up) your opinion as better than others or your indignation as care as we don't know more than what they show, and is not your kid.
I agree with the paragraph you wrote about pornography-violence etc. -though I don't think pole dance has to be sexual- and the kid possibly will regret being that exposed later in life. Is way different to burn a something for fun than to want to play with dolls, one is harmful and the other a taste. For me is way more serious teaching our children how to fulfill a role based on their genitalia than a kid wanting to parade wearing a dress and their parents letting it be. If you think you aren't a product of conditioning you are being innocent.
As you see we all have different triggers.click to expand

The History of Samhain
What we know as Halloween started as Samhain (pronounced Sah-Ween), the most popular of the eight pagan Celtic feasts in the yearly cycle. Our trick-or-treat, witches, mayhem, costuming and bonfires are vestiges of this pagan festival. By the way, you might be surprised to know that the Catholic countries of Europe and South America never celebrated Halloween.
For the Celtic pagans, Samhain marked the end of the year and the Autumn season that faded into history at dusk on October 31. The essence of Samhain is chaos and disintegration; a three-day period called “Time Which Is No Time,” when the normal order was suspended. This chaos manifested itself not only in an unleashing of the spirit world on the earth, but in dark occult rituals and night orgies led by the Druid priests and witches. Disorder reigned: men dressed as women and women as men, people wore costumes of ghouls and ghosts to mix with the evil spirits or fool them so they would pass by without incident.
During the three days of Samhain, the Druid priests would make contact with the spirit world, departed relatives or the spirits that lived in the underworld who would give supposed guidance and inspiration for the new pagan year that was starting. During these days, the veil was said to be drawn that separated this world and the underworld, and journeys could be made from one side to the other. As in voodoo rituals, families set out food and wine for the spirits of their ancestors to refresh themselves after the long journey from the netherworld of Hell. Sweets were placed to appease wandering spirits. Then there were the uncontrollable evil spirits that came forth from the caves to devastate the land. Costumed Druid priests would parade about making loud noises to drive unwelcome spirits to the edge of town. Today it has become fashionable to make light of ghosts, spirits and such as just silly stories, but the pagans take them very seriously.
The pull of Samhain was darkness, the spirit world, divinations, and blood sacrifice. Again, as in voodoo, Druids predicted the future by reading the entrails and movements of the animals slaughtered for the great feast, known as the festival of meat. There were also human offerings to the demon gods, a frequent and common element in the religious rituals that were made only in the presence of a Druid. On the eve of Samhain, the Druid priests would burn the sacrificial animals in huge bonfires on hilltops at the “Fire Festivals.” For this reason the Full Moon in October was often referred to as the Blood Moon. They also used the fires to predict the future.
Today you will see that the druids, witches and wiccans of the neo-pagan movement vehemently deny and carefully hide the demonic aspects of the ancient cults and rituals they are reviving. They make no secret, however, that they are adoring the god of the Underworld and the Crone Witch goddess at their Samhain (also spelled Samhein or Sanhaim) festivals.click to expand
Posted by LadyNeptuneDamn he picked a Virgo over the Cancer.
A new girl on the Montreal drag scene is making the city's other queens look geriatric by comparison. That would be Lactatia — a.k.a. Nemis Quinn Mélançon Golden, an 8-year-old who started getting into drag at the ripe old age of 7.
Encouraged by his supportive parents, Lactatia began taking voguing classes to perfect his art. Lactatia's public presence grew exponentially after he recently appeared at the Montreal stop of the Werq the World drag tour. RuPaul's Drag Race star Bianca del Rio invited Lactatia up to the stage and the younger queen charmed the dress off the older queen (though Lactatia admitted his favorite Drag Race queen is Ginger Minj).
Later, Lactatia would perform in a Montreal voguing contest, wowing the crowd with his lithe moves. Looking like a living porcelain doll, Lactatia received a trophy as his parents beamed.
"Anyone can do what they want in life," Lactatia told LGBT in the City. "It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. If you want to be a drag queen and your parents won't let you, you need new parents."
Outside of drag, Lactatia is an avid skateboard enthusiast.

Sweets were placed to appease wandering spirits. Then there were the uncontrollable evil spirits that came forth from the caves to devastate the land. Costumed Druid priests would parade about making loud noises to drive unwelcome spirits to the edge of town. Today it has become fashionable to make light of ghosts, spirits and such as just silly stories, but the pagans take them very seriously.
The pull of Samhain was darkness, the spirit world, divinations, and blood sacrifice. Again, as in voodoo, Druids predicted the future by reading the entrails and movements of the animals slaughtered for the great feast, known as the festival of meat. There were also human offerings to the demon gods, a frequent and common element in the religious rituals that were made only in the presence of a Druid. On the eve of Samhain, the Druid priests would burn the sacrificial animals in huge bonfires on hilltops at the “Fire Festivals.” For this reason the Full Moon in October was often referred to as the Blood Moon. They also used the fires to predict the future.
Today you will see that the druids, witches and wiccans of the neo-pagan movement vehemently deny and carefully hide the demonic aspects of the ancient cults and rituals they are reviving. They make no secret, however, that they are adoring the god of the Underworld and the Crone Witch goddess at their Samhain (also spelled Samhein or Sanhaim) festivals.

Wow people are so closed minded.
Some of you need to fully understand what drag is before you get all judgy and preachy.
Drag is putting on a show. It's theatrics and illusion. If this is wrong then so is kids theatre, pageantry, anything that involves costumes and make believe.
Posted by PiscojOf course you would because you would love them
Although I may not be the happiest about it, I would allow it. If that’s how my son or daughter felt, that’s something I cannot feel or understand, for the matter. Life is too damn short and screwed up, live and let live.

I don't have any children.. if I did have a child & my child wanted to dress up in drag because it made them happy then it would make me happy to see them happy .. we can talk about the more serious stuff as the child gets older, until then, i would let my kid have fun
