Can we add a drag queen forum?

[Mahsa Tezani]

Seriously, I think if we have crossdressers on here. We should acknowledge the drag queens.

[~RoadToTrista~]

Drag is crossdressing.

[Mahsa Tezani]

Drag is crossdressing.

Then a subforum then.

I'll look into this.

Yeah, I think it's fair to say that drag is a distinct form of crossdressing and also represents a departure from gender normative behavior, so I could see there being a forum for it.

The question is whether such a forum would ever be used.  As I brought up regarding the lack of a specifically female crossdressing forum, if a group is reasonably accepted, it's unlikely they'd come here looking for support.  Drag queens (and kings) are accepted as dressing according to the gender that matches their body and identity most of the time and when they're in drag, it's usually in a supportive environment, whereas crossdressers usually want to exist in their day-to-day lives dressing as a different gender than their bodies and identities, which comes with a whole different social stigma.

I thought crossdressers did it part time like the drags.

I see no reason to not have a Drag Queen child board (Sub Forum) listed in the Crossdresser Talk forum, it is as mentioned, a distinct form of crossdressing and also often associated with various social and performing arts venues    Sounds like a good idea

Well whether people want to admit it or not, they are part of our community. Drags show up at the trans marches and other stuff.

Yes, they are gay boys 70% of the time. But they also provide a valuable service to the community, even though they don't want surgery.

Idc, I just think the forum would be slow as fck.

Well yes, they are part of the trans community, that's exactly why I suggested placing a Drag Queen child board under the Crossdresser Talk forum

I would love to learn tips and tricks from them.

I think a lot of crossdressers do dress up part-time.  My main point was that the setting for dressing up is different.

So would I... ohhhhhhhhh Krylon and Ben Nye.

I say No, Drag queens are not transgender folks, they are cis males who make a life inpersonating females. Where we do stop ? If we give a forum to drag queesn, then how about ->-bleeped-<- prostitue forum, a she-male forum, ->-bleeped-<- dog forum, etc

you're very judgemental. this isn't a transgender only site. even then, crossdressing is a type of crossing over gender. you don't think they have their own needs?

Susan's is an inclusive site. From the Community Definitions:

https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,54369.0.html

Transgender: an inclusive umbrella term which covers anyone who transcends their birth gender for any reason. This includes but is not limited to Androgynes, Crossdressers, Drag kings, Drag queens, Intersexuals, Transsexuals, and Transvestites.

and

Drag queens: performers, usually gay men or transgendered women - who dress in "drag," clothing associated with the female gender, usually highly exaggerated versions thereof. Drag queens often do drag to perform, singing or lip-syncing and dancing, participating in events such as gay pride parades, cabarets, discotheques, and other celebrations and venues.

Yeah, the elitism here sucks.

Listen, I only give the girls fashion tips...If they choose to ignore them after they ask for feedback. Not my fault.
