• It’s honestly one of my biggest pet peeves when any form of pride is watered down to just drag shows. A lot of people genuinely can’t tell the difference between drag and trans.

    To vent for a sec, I’m a trans circus performer, I’ve never written a drag act, yet I frequently get called a drag artist because I’m trans on stage

      Absolutely vent, even rant a bit if you have the need 🫂

      That tracks with my experiences, the details like somehow cis people are better about gendering drag artists correctly than transgender audience members or how people just assume I like drag. I believe most of them think we’re some kind of kayfabe drag artists.

      We need more queer spaces without tourists.
