The difference is that the New Romantics knew they were just dressing up. Same with Bowie in the Seventies, and Glam Rock, and right back to the Dandies a century earlier.

Boy George and Marilyn have always been clear they are make; Annie Lennox has always been female. Many artists hid their sexuality but they didn’t deny their sex.
I could be misremembering, but my recollection is that when Boy George first arrived on the scene there was speculation about his sex, which he wasn't in a hurry to clear up. It was only when he began to get big interviews he made it clear.
He was well known on the club scene in the UK. I don’t recall his sex ever being a mystery.
I've been trying to find coverage in The Sun from back then, but can't! You could be right.
