Not a "transgender event", just a drag show



That's a distinction likely lost on the perpetrators.


Sure, but still important to point out that we've moved beyond "We'll commit violence to oppress trans people" to "We'll commit violence to prevent people from publicly wearing clothes we don't approve of." which is certainly an escalation. As far as I know most drag performers aren't trans, and most of the ones I know are otherwise straight. This is fully just "you're not conforming to social norms. We will terrorize a county to punish you."

As someone wrote elsewhere, "please stop spewing unconfirmed politically motivated conspiracy theories."
