coming to the close of another (US) Pride month, and again we’re still transfixed on Drag Queens being the only thing worth putting in the spotlight
nothing against drag, just generally tired that it’s 2024 and it’s still the same thing over and over again, and it wouldn’t be so bad if it was just the tippy top of disconnected-from-culture corpos but even on the small scale the words ‘Pride’ and ‘Drag’ are treated as one-for-one interchangeable
i get why, Drag Queens present a personality and character that can more easily be attached to advertising, but still it’s a drag (pun intended)
Because under the makeup they’re cis men? Just a guess, idk.
Yep, and they are bigots who want to suggest that we are cis men in drag. As though it’s simply an act that we put on and take off, all for the sake of getting into women’s spaces to… Idk, live out their fantasy of what they would do if they were to “sneak” into woman’s spaces. Basically, they think it’s Porky’s.
This but all the time.
I really do think it boils down to this - dudes think that’s what we’re doing because they see us as men who think and behave like them… and that’s exactly what they would do if given the chance.
110%, myopic-ass cis man perspective. Every accusation a confession, queer edition!!
