i’m hearing you out

Someone you know is trans. You regularly interact with trans people.
They are closer than you think.
They have entered your home before and will do so in the future.
They are in your walls.
They produced the sounds you hear at night.
You cannot escape them until you join them.
Someone you know is trans.

i saw some thread on xitter with some dude asking why drag queens "want to be around children so much" re: story hours and all the replies were either predictably disgusting or very defensive but not a single goddamn one of them answered the question so i will help in case anyone ever asks you this incredibly stupid question: they are clowns!! drag queens are just clowns!! they put on extremely silly makeup and huge wigs and bright clothes and do over-the-top performances that make people laugh and smile and sometimes cry. that is the definition of a clown. they like to perform for children because they are a type of clown and children are great audiences and it is not any deeper than that. god damn.
