Tough Day To Be In Law Enforcement

Did you read the law? It specifically names male and female impersonators.
...as people who are not allowed to provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest, a.k.a. a strip show, on public property or in a location where the adult cabaret performance could be viewed by a person who is not an adult.

Topless dancers are not allowed to provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest, a.k.a. a strip show, on public property or in a location where the adult cabaret performance could be viewed by a person who is not an adult.

Go-Go dancers are not allowed to provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest, a.k.a. a strip show, on public property or in a location where the adult cabaret performance could be viewed by a person who is not an adult.

Exotic dancers are not allowed to provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest, a.k.a. a strip show, on public property or in a location where the adult cabaret performance could be viewed by a person who is not an adult.

Strippers are not allowed to provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest, a.k.a. a strip show, on public property or in a location where the adult cabaret performance could be viewed by a person who is not an adult.

Male impersonators are not allowed to provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest, a.k.a. a strip show, on public property or in a location where the adult cabaret performance could be viewed by a person who is not an adult.

Female impersonators are not allowed to provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest, a.k.a. a strip show, on public property or in a location where the adult cabaret performance could be viewed by a person who is not an adult.

Yes the law specifically includes male and female impersonators among those who are not allowed to provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest, a.k.a. a strip show, on public property or in a location where the adult cabaret performance could be viewed by a person who is not an adult. The law also specifically mentions "a person" but that doesn't mean Tennessee is banning those who believe they are a person. Tennessee is prohibiting persons from providing entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest, a.k.a. a strip show, on public property or in a location where the adult cabaret performance could be viewed by a person who is not an adult. They are just being inclusive about prohibiting entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest, a.k.a. a strip show, on public property or in a location where the adult cabaret performance could be viewed by a person who is not an adult.

Considering that you view any cartoon that has a penis as appealing to a prurient interest, you'll understand that I take this as a confirmation of my position, as opposed to a rebuttal.

Your read poorly. Not only Is there no reference to strip shows in the law, but the phrase "prurient interest" applies only to male and female impersonators, as the position of "or similar entertainers" makes clear.

topless dancers, go-go dancers, exotic dancers, strippers, male or female impersonators who provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest, or similar entertainers,

Since we live in a world where sexually repressed people refers to nude bicyclers as groomers, or think any cartoon depiction of a penis is pornography, we also live in a world where "prurient" is in the eye of the beholder and cross-dressers/trans people do not have the right of self-defense. You are thinking about how the law will be applied to people like you; I am think about how the law will be applied to people unlike me.
