Kids Help Phone, a Trudeau-funded charity just released a new ad featuring children’s drag performers Fay and Fluffy. One wears a strapless dress with a hairy chest and the other is cuddling a teddy bear.

The Post Millenial shared:

The two men talk about how they handle having “lots of feelings,” with one saying “Sometimes I like to hold my favorite stuffy,” and the other explaining his liking to draw. Then the two start dancing while delivering the messagGivegive your feelings a place to go.”

Fay and Fluffy are celebrity children’s drag performers in Canada, with a popular show called The Fabulous Show with Fay and Fluffy in which preschool-age children are treated to stories, puppet shows, dancing, and music delivered by two men wearing outlandish makeup and brightly colored dresses, one with plenty of chest hair on display.

In 2019, the two drag performers cut ties with the Toronto library after feminist Meghan Murphy gave a talk there on the adverse impact that gender ideology has on women’s rights in Canada.

In a statement on Instagram, Kaleb Robertson, AKA, Fluffy, said that the duo couldn’t “continue a relationship with a space that will host someone who is actively fighting to take away my legal rights as a human.”

Murphy’s “controversial” beliefs include objecting to males being allowed to be in women’s spaces such as refuges and shelters.

In 2020, the CBC called the duo “a beacon of light for young hearts and minds.”

Kids Help Phone is Canada’s only 24/7 online mental health service that offers free, confidential support to young people. It was initially set up to support young people experiencing abuse but has now expanded to offer counseling and support for people experiencing a range of emotions and mental health needs. The mission statement on their website says they are there to help “from crisis situations to the everyday concerns of growing up.”

The Post Millenial also shared:

This expansion includes advice for young people who believe themselves to be members of the opposite sex. In a space for “2SLGBTQ+ youth & allies,” youth are advised to deal with the negative feelings of puberty through a medical transition.

After advising impressionable young minds to socially transition, the charity then goes on to describe the medical sex change process, and even a young person starts considering interventions such as puberty blockers before puberty has begun.

“Some people may choose a medical transition,” reads the 2SLGBTQ+ youth advice on the website. “With a medical transition, you can use hormone treatment and/or surgery to change your body, if that’s what feels right for you. Thinking about gender-affirming medical care before starting puberty can be an option for some people — it can be a way to get ahead of the changes that may happen to your body before it matures.”

“For gender non-conforming/transgender (trans) / non-binary folks in particular, pronoun usage is integral to feeling welcome and affirmed. Not using someone’s proper pronouns is known as misgendering* and can contribute to or trigger gender dysphoria for some,” young allies are told.
