Bending, breaking

A genderqueer friend posted a notice on Facebook about an upcoming "night of gender bender entertainment." Which got me thinking.

When I was making my tentative first steps out in public, once a month or so I used to join a group of mostly crossdressers for dinner followed by a drag show. This was a great group, and they helped me through those awkward first few months, when I didn't really know what I was but knew I loved going out looking fabulous. In the beginning, Sweetie would join me. Back in the day, she used to hang out with drag queens and had seen more drag shows than she cared to remember, but I don't think I'd ever been to one before those shows in the spring and summer of 2007. I'd met drag queens, but drag culture was still foreign to me. I was sheltered and naive!
