I don't think enough people realize how earnest drag is. People have this image of drag queens as saying "hehe I'm a man in a dress, isn't that funny," and sure some performers go for that schtick, but we're talking about people who take genuine comfort in being perceived as women, even if it's just in the context of a performance. If you are acquainted with any drag scene in any city, or hell even if you watch drag race, you'll know that many of the performers are trans, and many of the cis performers are visibly gender nonconforming on and off stage. Drag is an outlet for all the feminine expressions and creative impulses performers are told to suppress in their daily lives. People devote their lives to it, create luxury out of thrift finds and literal scraps, try to budget between looks and their next meal, risk rejection from their families or violent attacks, all because they care deeply about drag and the joy they derive from it. And people think it's just a bit?
