I don't get it.

If a trans woman doesn't dress femininely, they're considered faking being trans. But if a cis woman didn't dress femininely, it was fine.

...

Can someone please tell me how the fuck that makes any sense?

Like, cis women are allowed to dress masculinely but trans women aren't? How in Santa's dick does that make any sense?

since y'all wanna be bitches about my rpdr post

I've gone and deleted it, but I still don't think any of you got the point i was trying to make, which was; drag is a person of one gender(gender, not sex) entertaining others while dressed and acting like another gender. for *explicitly* RPDR, thats almost entirely men impersonating women competing against each other for a title. one that identifies as a woman cannot impersonate what they already are, no matter what they do they are a woman. THAT gives them an unfair advantage over men who have to go to certain lenghts to achieve what the women already have. And yes, queens with physical enhancements also have an advantage. I'm not saying same gender drag is bad, honestly drag is for everyone IMO, I'm saying RPDR is a COMPETITION, and those with such a high advantage over others is not fair to the other competitors.

Or, are y'all saying the women on drag race aren't women?

🤔

Now let's watch the hate pour back in.

Complex people are reduced to the summation of their looks: “toot or boot!” We don’t ask how they’re getting home safely (or even how they got to the venue). We dismiss their legitimacy as we simultaneously extract from their looks for our mood boards. We love their look, but we won’t pay for their songs or tip them at venues or demand fair compensation for their work. We say that they are “impersonating females,” but we lack the vocabulary to name how cis women and the cis beauty industry continue to pilfer from trans/drag aesthetics. Who is masquerading as whom?
