Drag queen - Terminology: Encyclopedia II - Drag queen - Terminology

The term drag queen originates in Polari, the language of gay men in England in the early part of the last century. Drag meant "clothes", and was also theatre slang for a woman's costume worn by a male actor. A queen is an effeminate gay man. Another term for drag queen, female impersonator, is still used though it is often regarded as inaccurate as many contemporary drag performers are not attempting to pass as women. Female impersonation, under that name, used to be illegal in many places, which inspired ...

Drag meant "clothes", and was also theatre slang for a woman's costume worn by a male actor. A queen is an effeminate gay man. Another term for drag queen, female impersonator, is common in some areas, but considered dated in others. Drag queens are generally not literally "female impersonators" in that they do not attempt to pass as women. Female impersonation, under that name, used to be ill ...

Drag queen - Terminology: Encyclopedia II - Drag queen - Opinions

Some members of the lesbian, gay, and bisexual community criticize drag queens and their participation in pride parades and other public events, believing that this projects a limited and harmful image of gay people and impedes a broader social acceptance. Others see this point of view as intolerant of the diversity and history of the gay community. Still others simply regard drag as traditional fun ...

Drag queen - Terminology: Encyclopedia II - Drag queen - Drag and transvestism

Most drag queens perform for fulfillment as a hobby, a profession, or an art form; as a way to be in the spotlight; or as a road to local or wider fame. There are a significant number of heterosexual men who perform in drag. There are also transgendered or transsexual persons who perform as drag queens. Drag queens are sometimes called transvestites, though that term has generally different connotations than "drag queen". "Drag Queen" usually connotes cross-dressing for the purpose of entertainment or performance and is not usually us ...

Drag queen - Terminology: Encyclopedia II - Drag queen - Opinions

Drag queens are often rejected by parts of the transgender community - especially, but not exclusively, by many transsexual women - because those people are afraid that they might also be stereotyped as drag queens, which they are not. (Canadian transgender activist Star Maris wrote a song entitled "I'm Not A Fucking Drag Queen" to express her feelings on the subject.) Some feminists believe that drag promotes harmful stereotypes of women. Most drag artists would respond that drag is a very specific aesthetic and is not meant to satirize women in general. Many gender theorists se ...

Drag queen - Terminology: Encyclopedia II - Drag queen - Drag and transgender

Most drag queens perform for fulfillment as a hobby, a profession, or an art form; as a way to be in the spotlight; or as a road to local or wider fame. Drag queens are sometimes called transvestites, however, transvestism is a word with many different meanings, most of which do not apply to or include drag queens. Drag queens do not do drag for reasons of sexual pleasure, and are also not transvestic fetishists, people who have a sexual fetish for the clothing of another gender role. Furthermore, most people who are called or self-identify as transvestites are heterosexual men, ...
