To be fair, I loved her song. It would make an excellent soundtrack for a Bond movie.

Unfortunately, secret maker sounds really clueless.
I don't want to be that person but the Eurovision isn't something you can judge on the same level of American (or even international) mainstream pop culture. Conchita Wurst isn't Gaga and while the visual factor and the 'controversies' played a huge role in her victory, that... is what actually Eurovision is for.

It isn't a talent show nor our version of Coachella, it's mostly a deliberately camp yearly tradition that's extremely political in nature, to the point that you could usually group 'alliances' just by checking the relation between any given countries. And it's satirical and bold in an "in your face" way.

I'm glad that people overseas loved Conchita and thought of her as a gender roles smashing symbol but I'm sure that many activists are projecting a lot. Sadly, the LGBT scene in many European countries is anything but promising and people are trying their hardest to erase centuries of propaganda and bigotry so let's not make things worse by calling her transgender because the stereotype that 'trans = extremely camp gay person who doesn't care about passing' is strongly alive where I live and... it really won't be of any help if people keep implying that drag performers = trans people.

Overseas? Most people who loved Conchita and talk about her smashing the gender binary and shit are European. The Tumblr tag for Eurovision alone is like 90% Europeans.

Really? I haven't lurked the tumblr tag but I've seen lots of noise about Conchita around international news blogs and places like buzzfeed.
And most of the people going "SLAAAY MY AGENDER QUEEN" are clearly not European.
