3. "I think it's a boring topic. I don't really want to talk about that because everybody wants to ask about that. It's so topical, but they're complete opposites. We mock identity. They take identity very seriously. So it's the complete opposite ends of the scale. To a layperson, it seems very similar, but it's really not. "
Growing up I was taught that a drag queen and transgender man were the same thing: a "tranny". I was taught that they are essentially a joke. Sadly this is far from the truth and the queen of all drag queens sums it up best in the quote above. My main objective in the comparison essay will be to distinguish the two.
"I don't think it's complicated."
When she was Rupaul was told that distinguishing drag queens and transgender men is complicated she shut it down. It is not complicated and in reality should not even matter. My secondary objective will be to make the distinction as easy as ABC.
