“about members of random groups dressing up as the opposite gender in a general way that has the intention of being as funny as possible”.

... isn't this how drag queens always are? Do they ban RuPaul's Drag Race from being watched there too?

I don't even like drag queens, but it's amazing how the TRA thinks everything is about them.

Isn't it how majority of transwomen, who are leaving their parts in tact look and act?

The SU said the socials had become “about members of random groups dressing up as the opposite gender in a general way that has the intention of being as funny as possible”.

That's the whole point, Aiden!

I love that we all came here to respond to the same quote, because it is THAT ridiculous!

It's kinda funny to see them fighting each other. I've seen many cis gay guys who are huge supporters of drag queens and they're also huge supporters of TQ+. One of the things they say to defend drag queens is that transpeople are fine with it.

These guys would probably have to take sides if they get confronted with articles like this one.

IMO the popularity of drag queen in recent years has been to the gay community a big source of negativity, pro-queer narratives, and confusion about gender non conformity. In this "battle" I side with neither group, though I guess at least drag queens tend to be cis gay men, unlike the TQ.

Ooh, now I really wanna see a full-on, no-holds-barred BRAWL between "transwomen" and drag queens!!!

I can just picture it now: wigs/cat ears flyin' every which way, stiletto-heeled kicks, makeup smeared all to hell, gravelly-voiced bellowing...

Think it'd look a little something like THIS!:

Pretty sure everyone clicked on this thread with that already copied into our clipboard, LOL...

It's crazy because their own reasoning does not even mention transgender people. I've been to a party similar to this and the men all had to put way more effort into the swap than the women. I think the ACTUAL issue might be that the results are a little too on the nose that what the MtFs think is a real "gender identity" is being mocked as over the top. Notice that they don't mention how FtMs feel about women dressing up either.
