Online if you want to take it. You translate the drag phrase.
How nice to see that those putting it together didn't think that "fishy" meaning a very feminine drag queen may be offensive....

It is my understanding that drag queens use the word fishy because women’s fannies supposedly smell fishy - how is that not offensive?

Becca, I'm offended that you find it horrible that woman are being offended.

I love the way that it's OK for men in dresses to be offensive about women, but when woman express that feeling of being offended someone calls them horrible. As someone else eloquently put, fuxxache indeed!

for you to be offended by the word fishy being used in this context is outright horrible

Why?

Thanks Becca I resolve to do better.

Thanks Becca, I’m all educated now & suitably chastened & ashamed. I’m going to stand in the corner for a bit.

To be fully grown adults and to find something as simple as drag offensive, you should be ashamed. The words and phrases used by drag queens come from a history of oppression and discrimination. They were called slurs and beaten, for you to be offended by the word fishy being used in this context is outright horrible. I hope you aren't teaching your children your old fashioned and quite frankly homophobic veiws

This is why I find drag offensive, you can pretend it’s not about mocking women, but it absolutely is.
