Even as a woman who spent a few years offended by drag as a transmisogynistic caricature (I learned more and got over it and myself, though I’ll admit some queens do get pretty misogynistic), it’s not even close to the same.

But secondly, one of the primary components of blackface is that it came from those seeking to deny black people rights. Drag performers generally believe women deserve equal rights, even the ones who personally dislike us.
