While many drag performances are making a caricature out of women, I don't think it's inherently bad. The whole point of being GC is that there's nothing inherently female about makeup, colorful clothes, dresses, etc.

But there is something female about breasts, which drag performers and amateurs often use for comedic effect.

And they just don't don breast forms to give the impression of having enormous breasts, they pad and use protheses to caricature women's hips, thighs and butts.

Some drag acts also caricature pregnant women and enact grotesque scenes of imaginary abortion, miscarriage and FT childbirth.
