Guys legitimate questions shouldn’t be down voted. They are a drag queen and not everyone is going to know.
New people will ask the same questions over and over. You can’t just downvote it cause you are tired of answering.
Also the answer, is mostly He/Him, but while in drag She/Her is more appropriate. But also you use whatever, drag can be tricky and few mind and will say so.
A drag queen is an entertainer and drag is an art form. Some are cis men, some are trans women, some are trans men, and some are cis women. The vast majority are queer, but some straight people do drag too. So basically anyone can do drag, but the majority are queer cis men.
Also transvestite is an archaic term and is mostly offensive/derogatory.
Say you really liked the color green and punching baddies and wanted to show everyone else that green was awesome and punching baddies was cool too.
So you buy a green suit, get a giant green tiger car, and even have everyone just call you “Green Ranger” while you are in the suit, just to make sure everyone knows you are committed and sell the character. And it’s fun and people clap for you because it’s cool to see a performer doing the thing they enjoy.
So instead of dressing in primary colors and punching underpaid stunt actors in latex, they dress up as empowered women and stick to character to entertain. Mostly. There are exceptions of course, you could also be a silly side character robot or a floating face but that’s getting into other topics.

Drag queen it’s like a fancy terminology for transvestite?
Or they are cis men dressing like women but still being straight?

Serious question: is transvestite derogatory in its use in The Rocky Horror Picture Show?
No, not at the time it was made, but the modern LGBTQIA+ lexicon has moved on from it
Fun fact: On Drag Race, Ru used to give messages to the contestants and called it “She-mail”, but they (reluctantly) stopped calling it that due to heavy viewer criticism
Mostly for show. Like committing to being a power ranger.
Like being a man/woman and dressing as a woman/man for social validation?? To entertain people??
Yup. Exactly like a power ranger.

Then I will say still a “He”
That’s great! Still now aware of the show.
The exit is on the left and you have a great day Sir/Madam.
Thx I will 👍👍
Questions that can be googled easily should be downvoted.
But also, look at their username, and other comments. It was not a legitimate question.
