Hmmmm..... @DragStoryHourUK are running this as a *paid* Facebook ad, with comments turned off!
a) Rattled much? 👀
b) Caveats are cool. Learn about caveats. You might have been ok with "Drag queens infrequently hurt children!"👍
Examples follow, will grow sporadically...
@DragStoryHourUK They posted it on their wall too, at 1:25am on 06/01/23 facebook.com/dragqueenstory…
2) Kelsey Boren;
A self described "drag mother", formed a relationship with a 7 yr. old girl based around training her to perform drag. Caught distributing and exchanging CSEM and facing 13 charges related to child sex abuse.

3) Andrew Duncan aka "Miss Rachel Rear"
A drag queen facing prosecution having been caught with CSAM, some of which was category A. Duncan is also alleged to have produced "prohibited images" of "pornographic and obscene *depictions* of children."

4) Albert Alfonso Garza aka "Tatiana Mala Nina"
In 2008 Garza was convicted of sexually assaulting an 8 yr old boy, and is a registered sex offender.
In 2018, Garza was able to join a "Drag queen story hour" event at @houstonlibrary and read to children.

5) Aaron Coady aka Sharon Needles.
Facing *allegations* from multiple parties. One, a 15 year old "superfan" accuses Coady of goading them towards suicide, supply of drugs and alcohol, hitting, choking, and emotional abuse.

6) Justin Andrew Honard aka Alaska Thunderfuck,
In @thedailybeast's piece from previous tweet, the 15 year old fan accuses Honard of exposing himself to him/her, saying: “It was the first penis I ever saw and it was when I was 15, and there was no consent.”
@thedailybeast Not numbering this one as I don't have a name or details but a dishonourable mention goes to:
(To any TA's on a hate scroll: Yes, exposing children to adult sexual behaviour is harming them. Yes this qualifies.)
7)Darren Sewell aka Crystal Couture
His 2018 drag show prompted walkouts due to sick Jimmy Saville jokes.
He was convicted in 1999 of four counts of rape of a boy under 16, and banned from contact with children. He went on to breach that order alarmingly!

8)Robert Clothier aka Lady James
Drag queen caught in a police sting trying to meet a man and his 8 and 11 year old children for sex.
CSAM and/or "prohibited images" were found at his home and he admitted making and distributing the same.

(TY @LuxuryMoon!)
9) Kristian Churchill aka Krystle Caress
Jailed for 9 years after maiming a lesbian couple by running them down with his car.
Makes this list for also being found guilty of abducting a 15-year-old boy.
Grim reading this one...

Since at the start of this thread I mentioned how awesome caveats are, here's a caveat, IN THE FIELD, doing useful work!
The above 9 anecdotes are sufficient to blow the claim made by @DragStoryHourUK out of the water, but not enough to tell us about *relative* risk.
Truth👇
Dishonourable mention no 2:
I, a full on bleeding heart lefty, desisted asexual, and man who was once in a "polyamorous" relationship situation am *PERFECTLY CLEAR* that this is not an ok way to behave around kids. That IS NOT a right wing opinion.
Damn. Dunno if this counts as a response? I'm STILL not blocked? 🤷♂️
@DragStoryHourUK HELLO I am calling you out for lying that "A Drag Queen never hurt a child". See thread.
(Also note, reply in the screenshot talking up blocklists...)
@DragStoryHourUK If this doesn't do it I officially give up. I'm un-blockable.
UPDATE: The 7th in this list, Darren Sewell aka Crystal Couture, was found dead in as yet unexplained circumstances.
His death prompted Sab Samuel, aka Aida H. Dee, the founder of @DragStoryHourUK, to disclose that the two were friends. See👇

10) Christopher Thomas Lynch, aka Pasha Nicole.
"...Christopher Thomas Lynch was handed a 14-year prison sentence in 2012 for forcing a teenage boy into prostitution."
Really grim reading this one🤢 h/t @ReduxxMag
