  No, first of all. What's the story behind the incessant need to push sexuality upon young children?  Some of the alphabet club have gone to social media and posted their exploits and we've all seen children deciding some fluid fate when they are in NO position to determine such consequential choices.  
  A costume is a gimmick and takes away from the critical nature of story-telling, which is the actual story and how it needs to be absorbed my the young mind with thought, a costume is a distraction.

  sigh...queue the far-right talking point that the "woke" writing of the show actually turned him gay. >
  
  Only the most stupid people would make that correlation but...we do live in an impossibly dumb timeline >
  
  I work with a guy who thinks our schools are trying to turn our kids gay. This isn't a republican state either, it's western Canada. These people are everywhere. >
  
  Question: what's with pushing sexuality at adolescent or younger though.  Can we not have pride parades and co-exist w/o drag queen readings at libraries or a boy who says he's a girl and uses the girl bathroom to rape a classmate.  Whose the ridiculous one, your co-worker or the system going above and beyond acceptance subversion? >

  Nothing like this has happened. Ever. Rapists don't care about what the sign on a bathroom door says. You're making it up to scare monger about trans people, who are significantly more likely to be victims of sexual assault than the general population.
  Second of all, you're going to have to explain, clearly, what part of this is sexual. Or this. Or this. Because it's not obvious. What do fully clothed people in colorful costumes have to do with sex?
