I’m gennuinely looking for clarity as someone who’s part of the LGBT community. Drag queens many of whom are gay men use drag as a form of artistry, creativity, and self expression. Why does every conversation about drag automatically have to become a defense of trans people simply because we’re all part of the same community?

Supporting trans people and respecting their rights is one conversation. Drag, artistry, and self expression are another. Not every LGBT conversation has to center trans rights, and not every moment of expression needs to become an opportunity to prove who supports whom.

I’m honestly tired of this constant “pick me, I need to be seen” culture. Sometimes the art can just be the art.
