The Hind End of Space

I dislike the idea that anyone owns any form of gender expression. The idea that one gender or sex owns dresses or makeup is a product of a social power structure that cannot exist unless the class they intend to oppress (women in this case) is continually marked. 

That being said, drag isn’t done in a vacuum.  It is sometimes done by sexist or transphobic people and since most people are sexist and/or transphobic, most imitations of women are sexist or transphobic imitations of women. 

So is drag inherently sexist or transphobic? No. Society is. And that’s why we have drag in the first place. It’s not the virus, it’s the sneeze.
