Sorry, I'm confused, and I'm not sure whether my confusion is due to gender identity mental gymnastics or my lack of familiarity with drag queens.

This person is:

  • a transman, i.e. bio female

  • entering on Ru Paul's drag show, ostensibly for men to dress up as woman ("womanface")

  • ...so this is a woman, who thinks she is a man, who is dressing up as a woman.

Did I get that right?

They also say in the article:

While we often hear about drag queens who identify as trans or non-binary, there’s a significant lack of attention on trans men who perform as women.

edit: Wait wtf. Isn't this possibly the most gender-dysphoria-inducing thing you could do?

Not that this person has gender dysphoria, in any likelihood. Reasonably likely scenario: Pretending to be a gay man because you fetishize gay men, then dressing up in a caricature of womanhood... while being a woman. This is the most galaxy-brain, 2020 thing I've ever heard of, lol.

Gay men do drag , so being a drag queen validates they are in fact a real honest gay man. 🙄

I liked Victor/Victoria (1982)-- a straight woman pretending to be a gay man pretending to be a woman-- better when the comedy was intentional.

I guess the hills aren't alive anymore since this is the one she chose for her career to die on.
