    Trans identies must be accept as valid period the end but I find drag often veers into “woman face” territory and it’s done for entertainment not as an expression of an authentic self, not that drag is inherently wearing woman face but a lot of performers absolutely take it there. I don’t want my children, especially my daughter watching content that exaggerates my female features for entertainment and dehumanizes women into nothing more than a caricature

        Am I wrong? What’s the point of drag other than to dress up as a caricature of a woman for entertainment? Sorry I don’t like my identity to be used for mocking and/or entertainment. Of a person has a female identity because that’s the truest form of themselves I fully support that but if you’re dressing up as a mocking version of something for entertainment it’s not at all the same thing and it’s not ok. There’s a reason you didn’t address what j said and just hopped onto essentially calling me a TERF, I may be an RF but I am not TE

      You couldn’t be more wrong. Drag is often about getting in touch with one’s feminine side, and many trans and nonbinary folks use drag as a vehicle to explore their identities. It’s very much an expression of an authentic self as much as it is entertainment.

      Also, drag kings are very much a thing, exploring masculinity from a feminine starting point.
