She was just on Dragula which is a drag competition, so I would say she is taken seriously. I'd also say Lady Gaga is a drag queen to some extent End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From TFM to ARTPOP, even some moments during Joanne and then at the Met Gala... I like to think of Stefani as the regular smegular girl from New York, and Lady Gaga the drag queen superhero that has helped so many with her incredible talents and fashion. Not saying they are two different people though, of course they are the same person... but Lady Gaga is Stefani+ in my eyes idk End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

seashellplay 512 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 This reminds me heavily of what J.K. Rowling is doing - These people have always been dumbasses who are uneducated and arrogant, the only thing they're good at is hitting the tweet button. Drag isn't meant to 'mock women' or whatever her fans are trying to argue, it has always been very political/a commentary on gender-roles and how it limits expression/identity. She is purposefully misinterpreting it because she is desperate to conjure up a controversial tweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

giskardsb 12,565 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 why the need to slam the struggle women have been through in order to make your point? As if women have not been enslaved and killed over the years and faced patriarchal dominance throughout their history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Women and POC have different issues, but that doesn’t mean that one is necessarily better or worse off than the other. In places like the Middle East or parts of Latino countries, women would be considered “worse off” than POC. At the end of the day, we just need to support and respect one another. Hmm... no, I wish people would stop using the middle east as an argument for any social justice thing that fits a point. I'm sure my mother is much better off than her ethiopian maid who is basically a modern slave. chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlepotter 76,612 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 -the comparison to blackface is idiotic -i don't see how that was against trans rights though -i adore drag but i do sometimes ask myself if they are not stereotyping women too much chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I think women have it terrible. I really do. I think all the girls on here if they have gone through some bad things will probably go through some really bad things in the future. I also think that that they go through those things and still do everything she mentioned is amazing. I have two nieces and I am honestly terrified by what they will have to endure in the future sometimes. That said, it's entertainment. Drag shows are not about reality they are about escaping reality. Also they aren't portraying women on these shows; they are portraying men who dress in women's clothing. That's why I have never seen a trans woman win. Because they aren't looking for the prettiest or the the one who appears to "mimic" a woman the most. That's not what they are judging and I think she missed the point. But it's TV she can easily change the channel.
