If gender is socially determined then why the need for transgender, why not just being who you are without labels.

    Not trolling, i think excessive hair and makeup being presented as representative of me, as a woman is insulting.

      You’ve already stated that you don’t wear makeup. Already they aren’t representing you. They are representing themselves.

      Don’t be jealous just because they can pull off looking more woman than you can.

        There’s no such thing as looking more woman than whatever. There’s no such look as woman, only people. You’re a misogynist who judges women by their appearance and your opinions are useless.

          Well I guess that block you put on me was a lie. Look, if you want to hate on drag queens, that’s your choice. If you want to express that opinion to the internet, you’re going to encounter people that disagree. Responding with insults and false accusations only makes you look like an asshole.

          If you really wanted to understand, you wouldn’t be pushing back so hard when someone points out your misunderstandings. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go watch the 1995 cult classic “To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar” featuring well known male actors acting as men acting as drag queens. Have a nice day.

        If they are representing themselves then why are they using fake names and the opposite gender? Seriously?

          Seriously? Do actors offend you as well? It’s an act. Just a show. They dress up as a character and perform for people. It’s literally no different than Tom Cruise pretending to be an international super spy that is the same height as everyone else. If you can’t understand that, it’s because you refuse to understand that.

              Then just don’t watch them. No one is forcing you to watch a drag queen show. No one is forcing you to interact with drag queens. And no one forces you to post about how much you dislike drag queens. This entire situation is your own creation.

              You’re offended only because you want to be offended so you tell everyone else that your offended. I hope this was everything you dreamed it could be…

      Literally nobody thinks drag queens are representative of women. It’s a bombastic caricature of feminine things as an art style.

      Next say “birthing person” offends you.

        All birthing people are people. Drag queens pretend to be women and i do not like the caricature they present. Deal with it.

          Drag queens pretend to be women

          Performing femininity doesn’t mean pretending to be a woman. A stage persona is not how they identify in real life. Robert downy Jr isn’t actually iron man.
