Editing Drag

{{Content warning|the T slur}}
The slang term "'''drag'''" refers to the wearing of clothing of the opposite sex ([[crossdressing]]), and may be used as a noun as in the expression ''in drag,'' or as an adjective as in ''drag show''.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Abate |first1=Frank R. |last2=Jewell |first2=Elizabeth |title=The New Oxford American Dictionary |year=2001 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York |isbn=978-0-19-511227-6 |page=515 |oclc=959495250 }}</ref>

Since this wiki isn't Wikipedia (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_(clothing) Wikipedia's article on drag]), this page should focus on aspects of drag that are specifically relevant to people who are [[nonbinary]], or at least to help disambiguate drag from other kinds of gender nonconforming [[clothing]] and [[transgender]] [[transition]] of [[gender expression]].

===Drag queens===
'''Drag queens''' are performance artists, typically cisgender men, who dress in women's clothing and often act with exaggerated femininity and in feminine [[gender role]]s with a primarily entertaining purpose. They often exaggerate make-up such as eyelashes for dramatic, comedic or satirical effect. Drag queens are closely associated with gay men and gay culture, but can be of any sexual orientation or gender identity. They vary widely by class, culture, and dedication, from professionals who star in films to people who try drag very occasionally.

The activity, which is called ''doing drag'', has many motivations, from individual self-expression to mainstream performance. Drag queen activities among stage and street performers may include lip-syncing, live singing, dancing, participating in events such as gay pride parades, drag pageants, or at venues such as cabarets and discotheques.

Some drag queens may prefer to be referred to as "she" while in drag and desire to stay completely in character.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://transequality.org/issues/resources/understanding-drag |title=Understanding Drag |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=2017-04-28 |website=transequality.org |publisher=National Center for Transgender Equality |access-date=2018-03-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230309054248/https://transequality.org/issues/resources/understanding-drag |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref> Other drag performers say they are indifferent to which pronoun is used to refer to them. In drag queen RuPaul's words, "You can call me he. You can call me she. You can call me Regis and Kathie Lee; I don't care! Just so long as you call me."<ref>{{cite book|author=Rupaul|title=Lettin' It All Hang Out: An Autobiography|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mq-HAAAAIAAJ|publisher=Hyperion Books|date=June 1995|page=139|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221122123522/https://books.google.com/books?id=mq-HAAAAIAAJ|archive-date=17 July 2023}}</ref>

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, several drag kings became British music hall stars, and British pantomime has preserved the tradition of women performing in male roles. Starting in the mid-1990s, drag kings started to gain some of the fame and attention that drag queens have known.<ref name="GAGE FOR YOURSELF">{{cite web  |title=Gage For Yourself  |publisher=Watermark Online  |date=2005-09-22  |issue=#1219  |url=http://www.watermarkonline.com/content.php?cid=313  |accessdate=2007-07-29  |deadurl=yes  |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070824144740/http://www.watermarkonline.com/content.php?cid=313  |archivedate=2007-08-24  |df=  |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220922024300/https://www.watermarkonline.com/content.php?cid=313  |archive-date=17 July 2023  }}</ref><ref name="Inside Sydney's drag king culture">{{cite web

===Female impersonator===
Another term for a drag queen is ''female impersonator.''<ref>When Cross Dressing was a crime http://www.advocate.com/arts-entertainment/books/2015/03/12/tbt-when-cross-dressing-was-crime?page=full [https://web.archive.org/web/20230423000048/https://www.advocate.com/arts-entertainment/books/2015/03/12/tbt-when-cross-dressing-was-crime?page=full Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref> Although this is still used, it is sometimes regarded as inaccurate, because not all contemporary drag performers are attempting to pass as women. Female impersonation has been and continues to be illegal in some places, which inspired the drag queen José Sarria to hand out labels to his friends reading, "I am a boy", so he could not be accused of female impersonation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.glbtq.com/social-sciences/sarria_j.html |title=>> social sciences >> Sarria, José |publisher=glbtq |date=1923-12-12 |accessdate=2014-03-01 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203005833/http://www.glbtq.com/social-sciences/sarria_j.html |archivedate=2013-12-03 |df= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230512151249/http://www.glbtq.com/social-sciences/sarria_j.html |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref> American drag queen RuPaul once said, "I do not impersonate females!

===Uncommon terms===
In the drag queen world today, there is an ongoing debate about whether transgender drag queens are actually considered "Drag Queens". This subject is argued because Drag Queens are defined as a man portraying a woman. Since transgender queens are now transitioned into women, many people do not consider them drag queens because they are no longer men dressing as women.

Drag Kings are often cisgender women who assume a masculine aesthetic. However this is not always the case, because there are also transgender male drag kings as well as cisgender male kings ("bio kings"). Bio kings or bio queens are people who perform as their own [[AGAB]] through a heightened or exaggerated gender presentation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://academic.eb.com/?target=%2Flevels%2Fcollegiate%2Farticle%2Fdrag-queen%2F627517|title=Britannica Academic|website=academic.eb.com|access-date=2018-12-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230127220437/https://academic.eb.com/?target=/levels/collegiate/article/drag-queen/627517|archive-date=17 July 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Barnett|first=Joshua Trey|last2=Johnson|first2=Corey W.|date=November 2013|title=We Are All Royalty|url=https://dx.doi.org/10.18666/jlr-2013-v45-i5-4369|journal=Journal of Leisure Research|volume=45|issue=5|pages=677–694|doi=10.18666/jlr-2013-v45-i5-4369|issn=0022-2216|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230127224253/https://dx.doi.org/10.18666/jlr-2013-v45-i5-4369|archive-date=17 July 2023}}</ref>
