Note from the now-wise: don’t chew no-name antinauseants. My tongue is numb. Better than dizzy tho. Got a first appointment with a psychologist on the 15th. Seemed nice enough over the phone.

I don’t understand why I am expected to love drag as a trans woman. I find it completely uninteresting. yet it comes up time and time again and I just don’t caaaaare dad says it’s poo poo like that that makes me hard to take seriously as a woman :/ just cuz I’m not into drag and makeup and prefer to spend my weekends in pjs watching yt and playing video games doesn’t mean I’m not female

I’m not discounting the importance and role it’s had in advancing our cause, and I certainly don’t want to obscure that fact it just doesn’t personally resonate with me  to be fair I know next to nothing about it, but from a rando looking in its just elaborate costumes and performance art. which is all well and good but it doesn’t have a lot to do with gender to me, especially when it gets more abstracti mean I’m not an expert and sure I’m missing something but I don’t really see myself reflected in any of it

Avenging_Mikon posted:A lot of commenters are saying this isn’t a one-off incident. Also pointing out that one of those pictures is a painting called "train landscape." Damages the sincerity imo. drag race used to have a segment called "shemail" that he refused to change until Carmen Carrera called him out, at which point Bianca Del Rio said she should shove the remains of her dick down her throat. Ru never condemned that statement. RuPaul has several songs where he uses the word "tranny" repeatedly, and when called out falls to "well that's just what we drag queens call each other", as though ignorance is a defense when you've been caught out before.

Ru never condemned that statement. i only watched that show over at my moms' place once, a few months before i started coming to terms with who i was and it was really offputting and felt kinda creepy but as i still believed i was just a straight dude i didn't feel like that was reasonable at the time one of the lesser of many many 'oh THAT's why' moments

as i mentioned before drag was the vanguard of the whole queer acceptance movement and trans women have always been at the forefront so im not gonna say it doesnt matter i just find drag in the modern rather than historical sense to be uninteresting and kind of up its own rear end rpdr in particular is commercialized garbage led by a clueless sellout

ate all the Oreos posted:i thought a lot of transpeople hated it actually, or at least pretty much every single transperson I know irl does Sadly a lot of trans people aren't aware of our history on drag because gay men have really effectively erased us and claimed is as gay men all the way back to stonewall. Drag was always about a rejection of social norms around gender. In the 60s and 70s it was revolutionary (watch Pink Flamingos for a great example of counterculture drag). Naturally the art form attracted both gay men (who wanted to lash out at a society that told them they weren't man enough) and trans women (who couldn't often live openly as themselves and instead took to the stage, hiding the rest of the time as men). Many of the drag queens who instigated the stonewall riots were trans women, but gay men have pretty effectively erased their identities in the retelling of they event. As a result, there are trans women today who see drag as basically a mockery of gender variance. Certainly there are plenty of drag queens who are little more than clowns in lady clothes, but just the same there's plenty of novelists who only write harlequin romance. We shouldn't throw away the whole art because some subset of the performers don't get it. Look at how many past drag race girls are out trans people now (Carmen Carrera, jynkx monsoon, peppermint, Gia Gunn, jiggly Caliente, etc). Drag is the first step for a lot of trans people on their journey to finding themselves. It also provides a positive and supportive environment in which to experiment with gender and presentation, and to make fun of the social standards that make transitioning hard. It makes really sad that so many younger trans women are just totally cut off from that because some log cabin Republicans want stonewall to be all about them. Not to mention how invisible drag kings tend to be in this whole conversation.

i also am not into drag because im just a reserved, low-key person by nature and its pretty much my antithesis it also comes off as some weird queer-minstrelsy poo poo sometimes and i cant help but feel like a lot of cishet people who are all rah rah about drag stuff thinks its a laugh-at "haha look at those silly gays" situation
