Just as the thread title says, really. I have a relative who’s been to a couple of these. I’d just like to see what other posters impressions / experiences of these shows are like.

I've never been to a drag show and never would, however Kinky Boots is one of my favourite films, which probably makes me a big fat hypocrite. That film is a very toned down, funny look at the subject though.

I strongly object to it in anything but a purely adult environment because it is very much adult entertainment. I'm also wondering if there will be a backlash at some point and it will go the same way as blackface. One can only hope.

If a backlash comes it will be because drag is deemed offensive to trans women.

This patriarchy cares not one jot if women are offended. It never has.

Society does nothing about male violence and, while I salute the new 1 minute silences that we have added to mourn deaths in conflict, wonder if as well as counting our dead women each year, we will ever honour their names with the same respect.
