There's nothing transphobic about either of those, there's a long tradition of pantomime where men dress as women (and women as men) for comedic effect.

There was a long history of minstrel shows too, but that didn't stop them being racist as hell. Just because someone has been doing shit for a long time doesn't mean it don't stink.

This is in no way comparable. There's no harm in pantomime dames (Mrs Brown is closer to a panto dame than a draq queen).

There's a huge, huge difference between a UK drag queen and a US drag queen. In the UK it's more of a comedic exaggeration (see Paul O'Grady & Les Dawson).

I don't think the panto tradition is understood outside of the UK, to us it's perfectly acceptable to have a principle boy (who is played by a girl) and a man in a dress.
