This is an insane attempt at equivocation between different contexts of “drag shows.” The key difference being the overt sexualization of modern drag shows (i.e. twerking, skimpy clothing, spreading legs, putting dollar bills in g-strings, etc.) vs cross dressing as comedy.
▪️Remember, the plot of Mrs. Doubtfire was that an unreliable screwup, but well-intentioned and devoted father, was kept from having custody of his children. So he used his talents and went to great lengths (pretending to be a woman!) in order to be with his kids.

▪️This problem has been known for some time, you can read an inspector general’s report from 2015 about millions of names on the SS “numident” not being correctly annotated for deaths, even though they were older than 112 (the oldest known American at the time).

▪️There are innocent explanations for some of these. Expatriates that died outside the country, for example. Or immigrants given temporary work permit who returned to their country, people issued new numbers for various reasons, etc. However, most are simply due to the govt not diligently keeping track of deaths.
▪️It’s embarrassing that the govt has millions of numbers on the numident that are ...
