Also keep in mind the anti-trans "protect the children" community are the same demographic that supports child pageants. permalink fedilink source parent [–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 3 points 14 hours ago It depends. Burlesque shows are not automatically 18+. There are all ages shows, 16+ shows, 18+ shows, and even 21+ shows (usually driven by the venue serving alcohol). Obviously the content can be a factor, and some will have an age recommendation due to language. permalink fedilink source parent
