    First of all, you don’t need to be LGBTA to be Queer, secondly, when it comes to normalising acceptance drag queens are brilliant. When I was a kid Olivia Jones (or Lilo Wanders?) was in like every second talk show round, having funny wholesome meta-takes.

    Or, differently put: Imagine a 2.10m unit moderating a presidential debate in full drag. Heck, imagine a native american doing it in full regalia. As long as that’s not possible in the US because the adults would freak out you have to start with the kids so that they won’t freak out when they’re older.

    then let’s have trans reading hour. To me drag queens are performers,

    Judith Butler aside, trans folks generally don’t want to be performers. They tend to want to be who they are and be accepted as such, blend in as their gender, not stand out as breaking norms.
