I think it is awesome! Why you ask? Because they are volunteering their time to help with literacy. Not many volunteer.
We had this at our city library. No one was required to go and no public money was spent. If you don't like it you are more then welcome to not go. I liked it because I am teaching my kids its ok to be different and I'm teaching that books are fun.
To the kids, they're just people in fancy costumes and makeup reading books.

Though, I don't believe it was as nasty here as it has been in other places.
As someone above mentioned.. These folks are probably doing more reading to kids than many of their parents.
I'll be the first to admit that some trans people make me uncomfortable, but so do some other people. Not gonna apologize for it, but I do at least recognize that is MY problem, not theirs. Don't hold it against them, I'm just.. Not likely going to hang out and have a drink with them. I wouldn't force my kid to go to it, but I wouldn't prevent it, either.

I think it's a bit weird especially for children. I think drag is comparable to blackface.
I used to enjoy drag before my sexual-political enlightenment.
Now, not so much.
Thanks for the perfect parallel that explains why .
