Stasha Sanchez performing “Bang” by Rye Rye and M.I.A. and “Illy Girl” by M.I.A. and by "perform" I mean look sexy as shit while getting money thrown at her.

“Got a secret, can you keep it? Swear this one you’ll save; better lock it in your pocket, takin’ this one to the grave. If I show you then I know you won’t tell what I said, ‘cause two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.” 🥀

You know what’s very interesting? The oddity inherent to “traditional” drag that makes being a standard drag queen more compelling than a bio queen or drag king.

Why is it so taboo and perverse and oo-la-la-this-is-naughty to see men dressed up like women?

I don’t know that it holds true in the reverse. Certainly there are bio queens and drag kings, but they don’t hold that same element of forbidden that your standard drag queen does.

I mean if I had to guess it’s because society still finds something perverse in feminity, to the point where a man willingly choosing to perform feminity creates an element of incredulity.

Drag kings aren’t as controversial because of course everyone wants to be a man. And bio queens could be considered almost sad for attempting to perform feminity the way that men perform it- just another woman struggling to achieve what men have already perfected.

Basically what I’m saying is that men have co-opted the rights to everything- even female-ness. (I’m not saying your fave queens have done this wittingly! We’re all just products of our society).

Oh you think you’re better at something than men? Nope. Men are better at everything, they’re more entertaining to watch, they’re freer, they’re dirtier, they’re funnier, they get away with loads of things women can’t- hell, men are even better women than women.

Uh hi, so last weekend I went to a heterosexual costume party dressed as Trixie Mattel and all the straights were confused.

Adore was just live streaming again. Things they spoke about included places they have visited, childhood crushes (2Pac and Slash), believing that gender is bullshit and a human made concept, and that bio queens and drag kings should be allowed on Drag Race. They also spoke to and fed a bee.

Opinion on putting bioqueens on the show? theyre feminist and valid drag queens but what if theyre not queer? Should drag race open its doors to cis straight women, and give up a place that was previously meant for queers and give in to the 21st century rhetoric of incluson? Women are marginalized too do you think its warranted, or is it like #straightpride

I completely support bio queens, and as one [as a hobby, not as a profession, but as a kinda career goal as the evening job while working a day job] I do feel like it’d be super cool to have bio queens on the show! That being said, I feel like most bio queens aren’t cishet? That may be a dumb generalization but from what I’ve seen, a good amount are LGBTQ+ [I’m pan/bi, etc]. That being said, it may be dumb to say this, but a lot of the cishet girl fans of the show are often the ones fetishizing the queens and the like. This often doesn’t have a correlation with the ones who legitimately do drag. I’m not counting drag in this sense as putting on some contour and lipstick, I’m talking about the essence of the art. Drag was originally an art form for mostly gay men and trans women and it’s fantastic that it’s spread so much, and I wouldn’t be morally against a bio queen who isn’t queer competing, but I do feel as if drag is almost a sacred space representing what so many queer people have fought for, and bringing in women’s rights into this [I say this as a girl myself] is in a way like a white girl saying that she firsthand knows the oppression of racism because as a woman she’s been societally oppressed as well. Since this is quite rambley already, I’ll wrap it up. Bio queens are fantastic and I am definitely for them being able to be on the show, but the people who capture the art of it, because it’s more than just being fishy especially if that’s how you already look.

Question

Would a trans man (ftm) be considered a bio queen
