Wait are you trying to tell me that rupaul might have some questionable gender politics??
Can’t believe the person responsible for “female or shemale” and “you’ve got shemale” and was the center of a major community discussion around the word tranny isn’t good abt trans stuff! Really makes you think
Also trans women have been saying this for literally years and no one would listen to us and in fact we get accused of hating gay men for it, until this recent interview for some reason, like ru Paul has sucked all along and I’ve been shouting at the void about it on this website for literally years, it’s almost as if trans women know what they’re talking about when it comes to transphobia and letting this get this far was completely avoidable
“Also trans women have been saying this for literally years and no one would listen to us and in fact we get accused of hating gay men for it“ this is very important.
He’s disgusting. Drag is a really awesome thing, but modern mainstream drag is fucking terrible
Yeah like it’s been difficult to kinda get perspective on drag due to some really bad personal experiences with drag queens but honestly, drag isn’t the problem the problem is that the drag scene has been largely over run by cis white gay men using it as a place where they can insult women’s looks and outfits, act out misogynist stereotypes, and touch other people innapropriately without fear of reprecussion, like, if you want to look pretty and perform a song that’s awesome, however if you create a character to act out misogynist stereotypes and insult actual women’s clothes/looks, you’re just a misogynist using drag as cover, and the drag scene is sadly currently completely dominated by these cis men who ruin it for everyone, and honestly we need to fucking take it back because drag could be an amazing thing if it wasn’t unwelcoming/unsafe for anyone who doesn’t want to blindly accept the toxic parts
