isnt Lady Gaga a "drag queen"? as far as mid century and back in time goes....the point was to impersonate ...pass as women....see The Queens from the sixties. MY first experience of female impersonation....a performer lip synched to a pop song and that was that ...no funny banter....and no exaggerated clown make up....they wanted the illusion of being women. then the sixties and seventies radical separatist lesbians said it was a form of black face meant to mock women. even as they wore primarily male styled clothes meant to purposely not appeal to heterosexual men and not girly skirts and blouses. no halters, no hot pants. that tune lasted a long while. now with the popularity of drag it has become woke.....so a FTM drag queen appears on RuPaul America. And does very very well. And a trans women wins drag race. As for no glamour in women in drag....one only has to watch Dietrich in Morocco and Blonde Venus.
