That's why it's actually kind of incredible that drag queens of all people are the ones lobbying for this legislation. Drag queens don't even claim to actually identify as the female characters they play, which means that in this case, they're effectively calling for special legal protections for fictional characters. It's no different than the furry community lobbying Congress for legal recognition, which I'm sure is where we're headed.
