There’s a long standing acceptance of transwomen among gay men who often times aren’t even clear on the difference between drag queens and transwomen. I believe it comes from a time when transwomen were very much a part of the gay community and bar scene. Most of them back in the day were gay men who fooled themselves or were fooled into thinking they must be women. It’s tragic really because so many of them fucked up their lives getting awful operations and a good percentage killed themselves. I was just the other day reading the sad story of a trans drag queen who was the doorbitch at my favourite club in my youth. He so regretted having that operation but there was nothing to be done so he soldiered on but eventually it got to him and he suicided.
