That's the most attention seeking and self validating thing I've ever heard. I actually can't believe it. Maybe get off this thread and stop complaining about things that have little affect on your life and involve yourself more with things that do.
Ah here's comes the melodrama. You haven't been on the internet long if that's how you feel about my post. Regardless, I'm a woman. Misogyny has everything to 'do with my life'.
It's not transphobic at all. Do you understand what transgender is?
I do. You evidently don't.
Drag acts don't pretend to be women, they are MEN in DRAG. They don't claim to change gender, they just play a role. Like actors do in movies.
They use female pronouns, and it is transphobic not to accept drag queens as a female side of that's man's personality. Again, perhaps brush up on what trans is dear. Everything comes back to gender ID. Why do they need to be women to play this role? What makes them 'women' when they put on makeup and wear their ridiculous outfits? If what they do is no big deal, why not say they're men when playing this role?
I'm not brainwashed unforunately sweetie, I just don't have a stick up my
Sure thing.
Blackface was solely about mocking black people and putting them down. That was the purpose and people didn't claim they didn't see colour. The entire thing with black face was that it was about colour.
Drag on the other hand is dressing up and showing your talents. The same as people did on The Mask
Really, for someone who hasn't got their head up their - the fact you cannot see the correlation between the B and W Minstrels and Drag suggests otherwise. The fact you regress it further for being 'like the Masked Singer' is utterly laughable. Last time I checked, people appropriate other singers though nasty stereotypes wasn't the name of the game.[/quote]
I don't want to even reply to you, but you don't understand what Transgender is. From someone who has experience working with trans youths, your words are very offensive.
Drag is performance art, like an actor. You don't change your real identity for it. Therefore they are men. Their gender identity doesn't change. They like different pronouns in drag because it's part of the role. The same way as you know Disney Worlds Mickey Mouse is someone in a suit, but you'd still call them Mickey Mouse (funnily enough, because of the height of the suits in WDW - majority of male characters are played by women!).
Trans is when you do not identify with your assigned gender. So were male, but now you are a female, regardless of how you dress. You are a different gender.
Many transgender people are also drag queens, they are not interchangable terms, but they can co-operate.
