The mainstreaming of drag culture has had an unintended knock-on effect of making cis people understand transness even less than they would otherwise.

I want to be clear: this is not a criticism of drag. Drag fuckin’ owns. This is a criticism of cis people.

Basically, drag has become the primary framework by which a lot of cisgender people are exposed to any concept of gender non-conformity. When that’s your only framework: costume and pageantry, performance and show, every trans person looks like a drag king or queen instead of the gender they actually are.

It’s a bit of a tortured metaphor but it hopefully gets the point across. The thing about drag is that you can take it off. Essentially we trans people are seen as doing full-time drag even by a good number of otherwise well-meaning cis people, and that colors the public discourse around trans identities in ways I shouldn’t need to go into.

The Beat caught up with Alexander Siddig of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine for a conversation on Arab-American Heritage Month.

SIDDIG: A lot of gay men at that time, and maybe even gay women, kinda responded to the Bashir character. I think that was because of (Garashir), and maybe the bravery of not only that, but also an implicitly Muslim character being potentially gay, potentially bi, potentially gay if they’d explored that route. That is something Garak brought with him to the party, a bottle of implied homosexuality…

LLOYD [interviewer]: So were you aware in the 90s that it was homoerotically charged and on board with that? SIDDIG: I was aware of it in the back of my mind, yes, absolutely, and encouraged it. At my first meeting with Garak I became visibly flustered. That was entirely my choice. It wasn’t written into the script. So I set off in that direction right from the get-go. And Andy (Andrew Robinson) obviously loved it, and that character became a series-long character because of that first scene…

LLOYD: That’s really cool. We’ve heard a lot of times about how Andy and Garak were on board from the start but I don’t know that I’ve heard before that you were on board from the start. SIDDIG: I subconsciously keep that door open with just about every character that I play, and I always keep it as ambiguous as possible. One of my first roles was in A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia with Ralph Fiennes and I played Feisal and again, not in the script, but that was charged with homoerotica and implied homosexuality. I’d just come fresh off that project. And I’ve done it numerous times since, characters that are written straight I just make sure are not quite straight. That’s just one of my things, probably because I’m not quite straight myself and that’s probably perfect.
