Really? Then Shirley Q Liquor is sure gonna get you bothered. Haha.
I don't quite agree though. To hold Drag in the same place as black face is hold onto the idea that only women can be feminine which is in & of itself its own sexism. and you also hold onto one type of Drag as being what Drag is. THIS is all drag.
And it's always been an all inclusive art. Women have been there since the birth of drag in the gay clubs, it wasn't done as a means to make fun of them. It's a realm of hyper femininity. Nobody would go outside dressed like 3/4 of Queens do at their shows. There's Drag Queens, Drag Kings, Club Kids, Tranimals, GenderF*CK, Bearded Queens. There are drag queens who are women. Carmen Carrera, Kylie "Sonique" Love, & Monica Beverly Hillz are all transgender Drag Queens. Carmen & Sonique have even had their surgeries done, but still identify their job as Drag Queens.
