Section on children contains no sources of differing vantage point, amounts to editorializing.[edit]

There needs to be an addition for the viewpoint against things like Drag Story Time, etc. to go along with the sources that are proponents. The current status of the section is merely an editorial quote via one person.

Non-notable image added[edit]

I do not agree with this revert. The person depicted is not notable. Their nationality is no reason on its own to add a photo of them. Hundreds of non-notable images could be added if we start this. Will remove it again, unless someone here can come up with a good not to. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 11:11, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weird absence?[edit]

"Paris is burning", realness and ballroom culture don't get any attention on the page?

Is this on purpose? because it seems like a giant oversight and an extremely thematic one at that.

(ballroom culture is in the "see also", but that seems way too little) 85.147.66.47 (talk) 19:56, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Editorial change[edit]

Since we are apparently a society of full inclusion, no matter what, I would like to ask that the term cisgender be removed from the article and replaced with heterosexual or straight as I find the above term non inclusive of the rights of heterosexual people. Thank you. 31.126.66.175 (talk) 16:15, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Heterosexual refers to sexual orientation, whereas cisgender refers to gender identity, i.e., same gender identity as your assigned gender at birth. The article should not be updated with the proposed change because these words have different meanings, and we need to follow common usage. Hist9600 (talk) 13:04, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology[edit]

This is most likely a red herring, but in case anyone feels like investigating further: one of the words for 'a costume' or 'an outfit' in Norwegian, Danish and Swedish is

Norwegian: en drakt
Danish: en dragt
Swedish: en dräkt

—suggesting a connection with being 'in costume'.

(Links go to dictionary entries in those languages.)

In German, I think it's Tracht. Not sure about Dutch.

It's perfectly possible,though, that being in drag is unrelated to these. The OED don't mention anything along those lines, for example. (When learning Norwegian, I assumed the words were related, and remembered drakt that way.) Musiconeologist (talk) 16:50, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting theory. Needs a reliable source here. Scottish? --SergeWoodzing (talk) 07:47, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Transmen[edit]

You should point out that trans men can also be drag queens (and not only drag kings) as a performance like the famous Gottmik. 2A01:E0A:5DA:C520:C076:CBBE:592B:1EBF (talk) 15:11, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
