So well said. Even innocent playfulness has to be viewed through a perverse lens. I am old enough to remember the humor of Flip Wilson, Milton Berle and Tim Conway, who left us laughing so hard at their "female" characters or a Sandy Duncan playing Peter Pan without even a fleeting thought as to some deeper "repressed" sexuality. These talents brought out humor and appreciation for their characters. Now we have drag queens and transgender "athletes" who insist it all is part of a new debauchery we must necessarily embrace.
