Drag is a protest. Drag is not a mockery of femininity it is the subversion of gender expectation. Drag is power, it is unity. The drag community changed my life and ive never done Drag. Drag is an art form and a performance, it is an expression of human feeling and a protest of human oppression. Drag has a long and beautiful history of resistance and compassion and unity. It has strong deep roots in the communities of black americans, and in queer communities of western Europe before the second world war.
This is disgusting. This statement is disgusting. Drag is beautiful, and it is funny and relatable and it is a journey. You fundamentally misunderstand what drag is to call it mockery of women or womanhood. It is a celebration of femininity and masculinity. It’s the deconstruction of western gender roles. Drag punches back at biological gender essentialism in the name of liberation. Drag is for everyone.
To equate drag with blackface is a declaration of war on gender non-conformity itself. This is a declaration of hatred for those who step beyond the boundaries of gender assignment. I feel at once furious and absolutely despaired. All we have fought for is at risk of being taken away. Fascism wants to destroy us.

You reqd the intent accurately. It’s time to swing back with everything we got. It’s still a culture war, and there’s still time to keep it that way.
If it’s a culture war…. Only one side is fighting for culture the other …. Well. I don’t think nazis are well known for culture
