It’s a fashion shoot ffs engineered to get gazillions of hits and publicity.
That is exactly it. It's not promoting anything except clothing sales.

So you are saying someone who dresses like that is automatically a threat to children?
No that is clearly not what I said. I just asked the question.
I also mentioned the fellow I worked with - the cross dresser - and do wonder whether he would be treated differently now.
I think we need some definitions.
Gender identity is a personal internal perception of oneself and, as such, the gender category with which a person identifies may not match the sex they were registered at birth. In contrast, sex is biologically determined.
Sexual orientation is the way you identify yourself – through desires, feelings and sexual activity, whether that’s towards people of the same sex or opposite sex from you.
For both, it's great that those that have been forced into a strait jacket, because of how they feel about themselves and others conflicting with their biological sex, laws of the land, and general attitude of others, can now be themselves. It's not so great for these people that others do not yet fully understand what this is all about - probably including me.
What is perhaps hard to grasp is that gender is now seen as a spectrum, where we can sit anywhere along a line between male and female. I would like to see the numbers of all genders in our population and I understand that the 2021 census may attempt to do this -

Here's an attempt in 2014 to find numbers in the UK:

Here they suggest that 'at least' 0.4% of the population say they are not male or female (nonbinary as they say), that's 1 in 250, or 88 in a capacity crowd at the Turf (21,944).
