i don’t see the point or the appeal and nobody actually explained it to me other than screaming at me to respect gay culture. I’ve seen people compare trans women to drag before so I’m assuming it’s automatically retarded and that all faggots deserve to die.

    i literally dont get whats cool about it. i hate drag so much. the visual style is just disgusting for me. i wouldnt want to sit through any drag show because the visuals themselves are so fucking unappealing. also respecting this “gay culture” is disrespecting real transgender people anyway so fuck em

    drag is theatre and radical creative expression. musicals might be a good analogy, not everyone likes or ‘gets’ musicals, and musicals can be colorful, dramatic, very queer, loud, etc. its a performance. you dont have to be into it, just like you dont have to go to pride parades.

    i think its rude to say a drag queen is the same gender as a trans woman. plenty of drag queens will just tell you no, they are still gay men. but you cant ignore theres also a none zero number of actual trans women in the drag scene, either doing drag onstage or doing backstage work. i think it sucks shit that drag shows on tv are rude to/exclude trans women, theyre so sanitized in comparison…
