It's called "sex", not "gender".

Insults don’t work on me. Make your case that drag is not mockery and produce evidence that drag queens “respect and admire women.” |
+1. |
From one of the best! RuPaul - "Gay men don’t do drag to mock women, we do drag to mock the cultural concept of identity. If you don’t get irony, you don’t get drag." https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/mar/05/aesthetics-of-drag/ Also a good read: https://www.gla.ac.uk/media/Media_41211_smxx.pdf |
Ru Paul - ugh!!! |
Who cares what XX chromosome-havers feel about anything, anyway? |
Does he also believe that “white people don’t do blackface to mock black people, but to mock the cultural concept of identity. If you don’t get irony, you don’t get black face”. Sex and skin color are both immutable physical characteristics. Drag and blackface are quite literally the same thing. |
Maybe, or maybe not. https://slate.com/human-interest/2015/02/is-mary-cheney-right-about-drag-being-like-blackface.html |
That article is nonsense. “ Minstrelsy was being performed by whites in positions of cultural and local power, whereas drag is performed by a marginalized group who are subject to fear and repression,” Brundage said. “To be a drag queen is not an act of privilege. It’s just not comparable.” “ False. Drag is performed by an oppressor class, men. And appropriate and mocks a historically oppressed class, women. |
ew. |
sex is biology, drag queens don’t change their biology while in drag, because obviously that’s physically impossible. They dress hyper-feminine, (like how society thinks WOMEN should be) so yeah, in this context it’s “gender” not “sex” |
Oh great. Another bigot-filled thread. |
Because the bigots hate LGBTQ. |
No, it’s more than gender. Try again. Drag queens adorn fake breasts and padded hips and buttocks. Literal appropriation of women’s sex characteristics. Tell me again how this is different than appropriating black skin for “entertainment”. |
Make things bland again. |
