As a follower of Sparkle's Mom on Instagram, and a mother of a 10 year old (possibly) straight girl that loves watching drag, and loves looking at Sparkles posts, I've always appreciated how age-appropriate Sparkle's drag style is. She is beautiful, and fun to watch her enjoyment of her craft. I hope Instagram comes around and reinstates the account. It's a shame. Regarding the hate speech and threats toward a 10 year old - I have no words.
"presented himself as gender non-conforming since birth,"...Really? Exactly how does a "gender non-conforming" infant "present"? I understand how a mom with an agenda "presents", through ridiculous wish based statements like the above, But an infant? Not so much.
