We're doomed.
Stuff like this and even much weirder has been going on throughout all of human history.
This will not doom us.

edited my post because I didn't feel like getting into another one of these discussions but what the hell...
We are doomed because a kid likes to sing and dress up?

Just one and I'll eat crow

I’m sure everything is a factor one way or another, social, verbal, but let’s be honest.
Trans and gay has never been more accepted than it is today so the suicide rate should be dropping quickly.
I don’t believe that’s the case.
Could the brain of a transgender have a harder time dealing with social issues than the brain of a straight kid?
One plus one is two but what if it adds up to four in a trans brain?
We treat bi polar as a mental issue and nobody calls that rude.
Would treating people outside the normal help them or hurt them?

Yeah growing up with a big sister who is in to theater and drama might do the trick...I grew up with two big sisters, wanna know how often I got a makeover?
I guess G-rated venues include preforming for men in bars...??

So using your example and logic did you become a "drag queen"?
unless you did your mental gymnastics (while impressive) failed the landing
BTW you consider that the boy in the OP article did in bars is G rated?
so what canned response are you gonna try next...
kids at that age ONLY KNOW what a "drag queen" is if SOMEONE TELLS THEM.
they dont know how to dress and put on all that gaudy makeup unless SOMEONE TELLS/SHOWS THEM.
now given that is completely silly in and of itself I presumed you were referring to the boy performing in bars (as a story or two have shown does happen).
Given he is also (thanks to his mom) all over social media for his cause it is reasonable to presume HIS MOM has posted videos of his performances to bolster her cause.

a
Yeah 10 years old are clueless when it comes to social media...I could understand his mother regulating what gets posted and which responses are removed.
If you could enlighten me on the mother's cause because I fail to find it anywhere....or are we again assuming?

If I may take the suicide rate that you clearly state isnt dropping despite the acceptance today to another conclusion
maybe because those in the trans community KNOW they can NEVER BE what they claim they are.
they are XX chromosome (biological female) know they can NEVER BE a biological (XY chromosome) male and vice versa.
their rational brains (wither they admit it openly or not) know THE TRUTH but they dont want to admit it much less accept it.
I got this idea by the high (but hidden) suicide rates for those that went though "the change" to become the opposite sex. the trans community either tries to hide this or claim its because of "continued bigotry and phoba"
A survey of trans people in the UK found that a completed medical transition was shown to greatly reduce rates of suicidal ideation and attempts, in contrast to those at other stages of transition (imminently transitioning or beginning transition). 67% of transitioning people thought more about suicide before transitioning whereas only 3% thought about suicide more after their transition
transexual is claiming you can change from an XX chromosome (female) to a XY chromosome (male) because you "identify" (or whatever word is popular) as such.
something not supported because BIOLOGICALLY YOU CANT...
people as a whole dont want to say a LIE is the truth..
in conclusion and back to the OP on this young child drag queen.
NO CHILD has the MENTAL CAPACITY to make this decision on their own.
to claim they are a sex they are not.
to know all the ramifications it intails.

She might be helping him but forcing him....proof it.
im sorry but the OP and you defending it claim he chooses it... up to you to defend it. I proved he could not be on social media without his mothers approval . along with showed that average 5 to 10 year old may play dress up (as you pointed out btw) but dont say "I wanna be a drag queen" in its full nature. you still havent proven (and up to you) he does...deflecting badly again
BTW tell me how a say 5 to 10 year old dresses , make up and performs as SPECIFICALLY a DRAG QUEEN unless someone tells him about it?
RuPaul's Drag Race, mrs doubtfire...you tell me
ru paul drag race is a show with ADULTS... ms doubtfire was not a drag queen but PLAYING A FEMALE MAID to see his kids .... a made up story btw... so again the first is irrelivant due to its an ADULT SHOW and this boy isnt racing so fail one . the second was not a drag queen but playing a role (acting) and make believe. man your not even trying are you
Peace
