People who think drag queens are trans women while they're wearing drag make me head spin

Honest question, are drag women (men?) trans? Or is it just a hobby of sorts?

drag queens dont identify as trans. The whole idea is dressing like a woman for a show, and it involves usually a stage-persona.

Not all drag queens do, but some queens do actually identify as trans. (Current season of RuPaul’s Drag Race features a trans drag queen).

Main idea is drag is just a performance persona, not necessarily the performer’s actual identity.
