This is a really apt analysis of the Drag Queen Frenzy. I would add two more reasons for the recent push of drag queens into children's spaces:
Firstly, drag queens desperately seek validation for their lifestyle and who better than impressionable children that cheer them on, completely clueless about what is going on?
Secondly, and most importantly, many (not all, but many) of these men are nurturing dangerous fetishes about children, either a fetish about "being motherly towards children" (the recent "breastfeeding" trend comes to mind, or them putting kids or their laps between their fake breasts) or an even worse fetish, i.e. they are pedophiles. As you point out, their outfits are highly sexualized and they enjoy being with children in these sexualized outfits (I've never heard about drag queens reading at, say, retirement homes). It's profoundly disturbing, disgusting and wrong. They can do whatever they like in their private lives, I don't care, but leave the kids out of it.
I think I covered most of the things you said, but used different terminology. As for whether some drag queens are pedophiles, I have no information on that.
If you have any info that you could point me to regarding drag queens being pedophiles, I would be interested to see it -- but only if you can do so without spending a lot of time on it; it is not your responsibility to do my research for me.
Hi! I'm quite a bit younger than you, but even when I was reaching my teen years in the early 2010's, every gay organization - esp. those tasked with supporting the youth - was captured by trans interests. It was at a gay youth center in Princeton, my refuge from a homophobic family, church, and high school, where the idea that I was actually trans was first planted into my head.
It's funny, how the integration that your generation won came at the cost of the gay kids with unsupportive families my generation and younger.
Thank you for your post. However, I'm not sure what your point is. Yes, it was probably around 2010 that trans people took over the gay world, but again, I'm not sure what your point is. You are saying you are trans, but this is an article about drag queens, who are not officially trans. So again, I'm not sure what you are saying.
I think there's a lot of blame to go around. Gay people were suckered into believing that being trans was just another "gender" anomaly, and so they were convinced that trans people and gay people belonged in the same "LGBT" group.* They couldn't see that they were wrong. It was an honest mistake. Once the trans activists got their foot in the door, displacing the gay people wasn't that hard. Indeed, a lot of gay people don't feel displaced. They are happy to go to their bars and find trans women, trans men and drag queens there.
* Gay people want to have sex with their own gender, and trans people want to be the opposite gender -- that's the connection between the two groups.
When I was young and going to bars, there were never drag queens or trans people there. I find them odd, strange, abnormal -- indeed, all the things that the word "queer" means. I'm glad that all this happened after I got older. It would be hard for me to be respectful to drag queens face to face.

My point is that the abdication of gay institutions by gay people led to this mess.
