I confess this thought occurred to me recently: how is drag and blackface different?

Impact trumps intention. I this case... Impact: Drag perpetuates misogyny and transmisogyny, furthering oppression and violence. Intention: to mockingly perform femininity and womanhood... It seems like they actually align in this case, weird...

It's not a stretch. See my earlier comment.

Yeah no, the vast majority of Drag performers are not trans, they're mostly cis gay men. I'm really not here for rhetoric that frames bigotry as revolutionary art.

While some still use transsexual to describe themselves, many of which are unfortunately truscum, it is generally considered offensive to apply that label to others, individually(without consent), or generally.

While I'd like to see the concept of gender dismantled, I'd settle in the interim for a reframing that demolishes the false binary. And no, transsexual, at this point, is best avoided, unless claimed by an individual, to whom you refer, with their consent.

Did you miss the part where I supported self identification? Don't use it to describe others, without their consent. It's not hard.

I have severe dysphoria, hope to have surgery, and though not personally offended by the word, recognize that others are, and it takes no effort for me to not use that word as a default for others. Times are changing, knowledge is growing, keep up our get left behind.
