I usually enjoy my morning tea after a short yoga work out, while I read the headlines on my tablet. Yet this week all I seem to be inundated with in my news feed is the news that some US states are legislating against drag shows and emulating such countries as Uganda in their headlong run toward transphobia. It seems an odd choice for a country claiming to be forward thinking.
âHonestly,â I said as Sebastian poured another cup, âthese cucks will stop at nothing!â
âWhatâs that?â asked Sebastian.

âWell, that ridiculous man DeSantis claims heâs going to save our kids from raging queens. But Iâve never heard of any drag performers ever doing anything to a child?â
âThat would be because they donât do anything to children. Itâs the old trick, invent a problem and then offer a solution and claim youâre the only person that can fix it,â said Sebastian.
âSo, how many drag queens do abuse children?â I asked. âI usually attend drag shows that are charity events raising money for good causes. I canât remember ever seeing anything that has anything to do with abusing children. You’d think I’d notice.â
âThat would be because itâs nonsense. Fortunately here in Canada we donât get sucked into that sort of thing. Iâd be very curious to know just how many drag shows Ron Desantis has been to, as a point of interest,â said Sebastian.
âWell, he does look like a boyfriend I had at university. An odd chap. Ate my panties,â I said remembering an incident unsuitable to repeated here. My memory is a little hazy, but I do remember him being quite embarrassed at the Emergency Department in the hospital. It was a wild time.
âWhat an odd thing to do,â commented Sebastian.
âIt takes all sorts,â I replied. âNearly choked on them, as I remember.â
I poured more tea.
âBut even so, how does this have anything to do with the transgender community? Donât these people realise drag and transgenderism are two entirely different things?â I persisted.
âFiona,â replied Sebastian, âyou canât expect these people to think about these things rationally. Itâs quite literally beyond them. They have no experience of what theyâre talking about, and itâs just about getting cheap votes. Of course, itâs easy to say âWeâre going to save all these children!â when in fact none are in any way under threat. And if youâre against their ridiculous legislation you look like you donât care about children.â
âBut look at my members,â I responded. âMost of them have children. You couldnât find a nicer and more caring group of people.â
âI know,â said Sebastian. âThese people appeal to the most frightened and weak members of society. They look for people who are easily influenced. IF they can convince them thereâs a problem, then they can set themselves up as the solution. It appeals to many weak minded people. Thereâs no point trying to argue with them. Thereâs nothing you can possibly suggest that will make them turn around and say, âOh yes, youâre right, Fiona!â No, theyâre just frightened little people living very sad lives. And that is exactly who a fascist like DeSantis is reaching out to.â
âIt seems very sad. And they will end up with blood on their hands, because good people wonât get the gender affirming care they need. But, I guess they donât care about the kids who die because theyâre denied gender affirming care. I guess theyâre the wrong kind of kids, right?â
âThatâs about the size of it,â said Sebastian.
What a world we live in. Fortunately there is such a thing as a vote. If you live in the southern US be sure to see you are properly registered so that when the time comes we can vote these fascist ding dongs out. Of course, Canadians like myself watch the likes of DeSantis with a sense of bemused amazement. He simply couldn’t even get elected to a school board in this country. At least these idiots make us look good.
âSo, what are you up to this weekend,â I asked Sebastian feeling the need to change the subject.
âBernard is taking Rainbow and I sailing,â he replied. âPoor Rainbow. Sheâs a struggling student now. She had to sell the watch she got off our grand father on his death bed. She needs cash to get through this month.â
âOh dear,â I replied.
âYes,â sighed Sebastian. âApparently he put up a hell of a struggle but she got it in the end.â
I felt this was an awkward subject but continued, âShe always said he was a bit of a tight wad. Though he did have a soft spot for her, as I understand it.â
âOh yes. Rainbow told me that if she buttered him up, heâd always end up splashing out.â
âGood grief,â I replied.
