[quote WowStarsWow]@StaciesSpace I’m going to help you out here (unless you’d rather have a spade to keep digging that hole). The attached images (from 2 different sources) show what falls under transgender nowadays. You’ll see drag is in both. You are wrong.[/quote]
I'll keep my up to date, well informed, rainbow coloured spade!
The fact that the website title is transexual - which is a very outdated (although sometimes people may choose to use) term, shows your issue here. I had a quick look at the website too, it is a Japanese website and the translations they have aren't great, which can be seen by the grammar they use on the site. The second resource is from an little known book. At least made by LGBT people I guess. If you notice the bottom left it says how falling under the transgender umbrella shows how these varied identies challenge gender roles or expressions. It's not great that they have umbrelled it, but notice how it does make reference to them being seperate identities. I'm sure you'll have seen from your Google image search, just as many places put it under the umbrella as those who don't. They are mentioned because they have some overlap sometimes. Many drag queens find out through expressing their drag persona that they are trans. Many drag queens will only use male pronouns in and out of performing. Many trans people hate drag. But many men in drag are comfortable with their cis identity and they are still, although have common concepts, 100% different things.
Please see an more well-known and prominent LGBT source, such as GLAAD. If you want more, let me know. I do recommend Stonewall as they're a great LGBT charity. Or have a read of online resources rather than infographics, as they give better detail rather than trying to squish information into something that looks pretty. Hopefully this helps you with being an ally. Despite this, I don't know how 'men in lippy' caused you to get to this point. Anyway

"Transgender - An umbrella term for people whose gender identity and/or gender expression differs from what is typically associated with the sex they were assigned at birth. People under the transgender umbrella may describe themselves using one or more of a wide variety of terms - including transgender. Some of those terms are defined below. Use the descriptive term preferred by the person. Many transgender people are prescribed hormones by their doctors to bring their bodies into alignment with their gender identity. Some undergo surgery as well. But not all transgender people can or will take those steps, and a transgender identity is not dependent upon physical appearance or medical procedures."
"!. Transgender women are not cross-dressers or drag queens. Drag queens are men, typically gay men, who dress like women for the purpose of entertainment. Be aware of the differences between transgender women, cross-dressers, and drag queens."
The most important thing about trans idenities is that they are selected and chosen by trans people. So bascially our opinion doesn't even matter.
