Yeah. I'm not old enough to get into the shows, but I'll probably sneak in one of these days.

Yeah. I'm not old enough to get into the shows, but I'll probably sneak in one of these days.
I don't know how I should exactly feel about this show. I mean I am MtF transgender and my grandma watches it so I've seen bits and pieces. Honestly I think it causes confusion about people like me and makes us look like a form of entertainment. I don't know, just thinking out loud here.
Yeah, I can understand why you would think that.
Oh damn I'm old then. There's drag-con if you could somehow swing funds to get to LA somewhere in May, I know Sasha is going there along with everyone else relevant. Minors should be able to go.

I'd love to go, but I'm not sure about the age limit and how I'd get there. There's also some LGBT+ camp down there over the summer I want to go to.
My other mom, Bible Girl, is going. I want mom to punch me R.I.P
I don't think that's really fair to compare the two. Drag Kings/Queens are completely different than transgender; and I feel that most people, aside from the hillbilly homophobes, understand and know that they are two different things. Drag really isn't anything like transgender, as trans women/men are women/men and Drag Kings/Queens are exaggerations of Men/Women. It's the same thing as acting. And for a lot of people; drag is the first step to realizing they are transgender and they feel more comfortable as a sex other than their own. Drag is it's own art form that isn't related to T at all. Just because someone wears clothes of the opposite sex to entertain people, it doesn't equate to making trans people look like a form of entertainment.

You should feel how you want to feel. There's no argument in the world that will change a person's mind unless you, yourself accepts it. The very same can be said about the general population's individual perception of drag, Drag Race, and transgender individuals. Heartcore very eloquently describes the basis of what drag is and drag in itself is an everyday activity done by everyone. If we were to just say drag is dressing up as the opposite gender, we're dismissing the fact the drag is dressing up to what we want to display. And I think the the show helps people, who are genuinely interested, understand that once the wigs come off and the make-up is cleaned off, they are men. Once that is understood it makes it easier to differentiate drag performers from individuals who have transitioned, transitioning, or identify as wanting to.
Of course there will be people who can't see others through their layers and box them into a category because they're too lazy to try to understand the greater concept of identity. As for yourself, I congratulate you for living your truth and I apologize if the show offends you in any way. Food for thought.
Thank you. I think you stated what I was trying to say much more efficiently than I did in my original post.

I don't really know. I love Pearl and she's definitely my #1 pick for this season and I think she's going to probably be one of this season's most popular, but who knows. I hope people don't become annoyingly crazy over her. The same thing could be said for any of the popular queens. I know some die hard Willam fans who can get really annoying (not talking about u beardo my love ur perf) and the same goes for Bianca, Alaska, Adore, etc. There's always going to be those nutso fans
Yeah, totally. I mean so far Kandy Ho

I was shocked to see Kandy Ho in the bottom two for the first episode. Didn't expect that. Miss fame is just perfect and hopefully she wins but I feel like Rupaul wouldn't pick her for some reason.
Kandy Ho was surprisingly my favorite before the first episode. But she just had a bad attitude. I knew I wouldn't like Miss Fame. I don't think she's all that great looking in/out of drag, but you can tell she thinks her **** doesn't stink. I can't stand her. And the way she rolled her eyes at Violet when Violet won the challenge, I was so mad. Hate Miss Fame.
Same, I didn't think Kandy would be B2 for what she displayed. I'm pretty sure producers had a hand in that given that tiny Tempest/Kandy beef. I don't think Fame will win at all. I respect her mug but I'm thinking that Ru wants a younger queen to win it.
I was all for her too! I thought that she'd be the PR queen to carry on the torch, but oh I was so wrong. So, so wrong. Fame and Raja are pretty much parallels but she lacks that likability factor. Really no one wants to hear nothing about her brand.

I feel like Miss Fame can be boring. Kandy was kind if rude just asking how old the other queen was like for real girl. I would've slapped her. Overall I'm hoping miss fame wins but I don't think rupaul would pick her. My other choices would be Max or Pearl.
My problem with her is her attitude. I totally respect how well she paints and her look is polished. But she's full of herself and conceited and I'm just not into that. She reminds me of Phi Phi. Maybe she will prove me wrong, but just the way she behaved in the first episode made me think that. I really love Pearl (I live for Pearl tbh), Max, Trixie, and Katya so far.

True Miss Fame is full of herself. Idk something about Pearl just makes me like her xD I like Max's style of drag very unique. Same with Trixie that harsh contour and her eyes capture my attention. Kandy on the other hand is okay on her makeup.

Max is perfect 0.0 ummm not really. Have you?
Pearl is so chill compared to everyone else and her looks are so amazing and polished. I love that about her and just her style in general. She just kinda sits there and does her own thing. She's beautiful in drag Plus as a boy, Pearl is so handsome. Kandy's contoured beard was actually hilarious.
and no I haven't watched any of their performances, I'm trying my best not to judge any of them by any thing other than the show.
