      Just like drag, burlesque often contains no nudity, if it had to be 18+, the beach is more revealing. Also keep in mind the anti-trans “protect the children” community are the same demographic that supports child pageants.

      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.
