"How am I supposed to explain [insert cishet thing here] to me children?" is code. It's short for: "how am I supposed to teach my children to hold the same bigotries I do if society doesn't support me?" The real reason they're so up in arms about children being educated is because they want to be able to pass on their prejudices before their kids know better.

[@LimeyLassen]

Conservatives see their kids as an investment. That's why they have strong opinions about who their kids can marry.

[@dinosaysrawr]

[@SirPhysics]

@@Naz1Killer you're the only one making it sexual. There is nothing sexual about children dressing in gender non-conforming ways or questioning their gender identity. Two boys holding hands in a kids show isn't any more sexual than a boy and a girl holding hands. Two girls kissing isn't any more sexual than a prince and princess kissing. Conservatives like to say they don't want things "forced" onto their kids, but they're the only ones forcing anything on kids. A message of "it's okay to be who you are" isn't forcing anything on kids. Hiding queer identities from them like they're inherently sexual or perverse is.

[@soupkabukii]

The weird thing is that the episode isn’t even about Gonzo being trans. It’s just saying that they wanted to dress as a princess instead of a knight or whatever. I’m a cis woman and if I were in that situation as a kid I would’ve wanted to be a knight instead of a princess. It’s just about letting people express themselves however they want because at the end of the day, whether Gonzo dressed as a knight or a princess they’re still Gonzo and they’re happy so that’s all that matters.

[@radarcore2125]

Yeah same, when I though I was a girl I always wanted to be a knight or dragons and that kinda stuff. (Not saying that’s what made me trans though.) It’s more about being self-expression than trans it seems, and that’s okay! We have to stop sexualizing people who want to self express outside of what their gender is ‘meant’ to wear who aren’t doing it for sexual purposes. Let Gonzo wear the dress damnit.

The thing about that is that the cross dresser always has to be the butt of a joke in some way. I love both the shows you mentioned a lot and actually don’t have a problem with those episodes. The reason why conservatives never got mad at them though is because laughing at someone cross dressing is more comforting than accepting them as normal everyday people for the right (and some liberals honestly). That’s just my take on it though.

I love how the premise of the episode is that Gonzo didn't want to say it was him wearing the dress at the ball because he thought he wouldn't be accepted.

Most Conservatives don't realize that the vast majority of the "good classic non-indoctrinating non-woke media of the past"- or whatever adjective combination they want to use- was stuff with progressive themes and messages. Because they fell down the pipeline and learned to be bigots, so it's only now that they notice "huh it seems like a lot of art leans progressive, what the shit". Because right now we're going through BIG societal changes on things like the acceptance of LGBTQ individuals, and suddenly the right has to start clutching every pearl they have, because all of their bigotry is being recognized widespread. So, they're clamping down on things that used to be "fine" because ANYTHING remotely progressive nowadays is considered a threat.
