Doesn’t being trans kind of defeat the point of men dressing as women?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I was kind of thinking this too.

I look at it the way crossplay helped an awful lot of young nerds realize they were trans - it might be a gateway, an opportunity for a trans or fluid person to explore their identity and have an epiphany. but past that...idk. I mean, I wouldn't call myself a drag king now that I've transitioned, I'm a dude. however, there is a massive performance aspect to drag - professional, touring, performing drag - that trans women wouldn't go through in their daily lives with or without transitioning. it's one thing to slip into a comfy skirt and wig and go shopping or on a date, it's quite another to pad, stuff, do makeup, wear a sparkly gown, and go out there to sing, dance, lip sync, etc in front of an audience. it's what drag has become, for better or worse.

I understand wholeheartedly where the old queens are coming from, when they get a little huffy about how much drag has changed and now it's a Thing and it's no longer just about going to the club in a dress, but only the coldest heart would stop there instead of going on to realize how much good drag has done in its evolution into performance art and stage presence.

It's entirely possible to miss the way things used to be while still acknowledging that sometimes change is for the better. It takes some people longer to get there than others though, and some of them might not make it there at all.

No, not really. Being drag queen is more of a look and personality than literally impersonating a woman. There are different types of drag queens, from pageant to performer and thus forth.

On one hand... kinda. But on the other, drag isn't really "men dressing as women" it's more like "men dressing as borderline grotesque and borderline offensive caricatures of women".
