    Why isn’t it enough? And the next paragraph after your snippet says exactly what behavior they are modeling for the children.

    Nina West argues drag lets children be “creative” and “think outside the boxes us silly adults have crafted for them.”

    Creativity and individualism.

      Why can’t we find outlets for creativity which require skill or talent?

          That’s a pretty flimsy argument lol, I think again it’s a bit silly to just assume a drag book reading is immediately going to lead all the children to look up to drag models and want to emulate it.

            Yeah it is but apparently nifty doesn’t get the whole value of charity+acceptance+individualism+reading or something.
