If you need more proof that drag is in fact trans-face, look no further than this quote from asshole Ru Paul, regarding allowing trans women to drag.

"Regarding transgender women who have had breast implants or undergone hormone replacement therapy, RuPaul said they would 'probably not' be eligible to compete on the show — 'it changes the whole concept of what we’re doing' — and doubled down on Twitter by comparing trans drag queens to steroid-abusing professional athletes, before apologizing amid a wave of backlash."

Big drag daddy thinks *trans* femmes specifically have an ~advantage~. He said nothing at that time about cis women. That speaks a lot to what big drag daddy thinks about what drag actually is impersonating. Wouldn't cis women be the best at impersonating women? (The answer is no, when you become a woman, you get to decide what womanhood is. But let's not pretend Ru Paul is that educated on queer theory.)

This is just one example but drag daddy has the most social capital and massively influences the narrative of drag and therefore trans people.

Okay maybe you're not like convinced because one ~influencer~ had a bad hot take once. In the same article:

"By the 1800s, that context was well on its way in America. White men often portrayed female minstrel show characters, milking 'man in a dress' humor alongside the shows racism. Yet even as the public devoured female impersonation in entertainment, cross-gender expression was otherwise thoroughly policed."

The article sources literally black-face.com http://black-face.com/minstrel-female-impersonators.htm

Drag is trans-face. They literally used it alongside blackface performances for the same reason, to the same audiences.

It was acceptable solely as a form of entertainment to joke about the idea of clowning it up. Note I am NOT saying drag is woman-face. I don't believe the evidence supports drag overall as heavily oppressive of cis women.

If you're not convinced still because the way things start is not always how they are, I refer you back to the Ru Paul post I just made which is in fact contemporary under our current system of social capital and influencers.
