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

How do you differentiate? Aren't you just as guilty of assuming they're drag queens instead of "poorly passing" transwomen?

Further, why the fuck do you care? Why are you so intent on being offended for this person when there's no evidence you should be offended for this person?

How can you not differentiate between a regular trans person and a drag queen? I'm no expert but usually drag queens dress very over the top and also go extremely heavy on make-up.

I've known women who regularly "dress very over the top and also go extremely heavy on makeup". Does that mean they're drag queens?

The fact is people can wear whatever they want and none of us know this person or what they're about.

No. Women too can be drag queens but it doesn't count unless that's actually what they're trying to be.

Correct. However, that doesn't change the fact that this person is in fact, a drag queen.

I'll give you that it's a good guess. But it's still a guess.

I think the point here is that it was kind of stupid to have this conversation in the first place. We don't know who this person is. So it's kind of dumb to try and police whether someone else refers to them as a drag queen or as she.

This is no guess. The person in the picture is quite literally a drag queen, stage name and all on their way to a performance.

Well fair enough then.
