I'm sorry, but I want to open up how I feel about the drag community, at least the one I've been exposed to, and how hurtful it is to me as a trans person. At this point, I hate seeing cis gay men appropriate my queer history and block me out of it. "Queens" originally were 1/4
Trans women expressing themselves. Breaking boundaries and showing off their transness. I'm so mad that I am afraid to do the same BECAUSE I am trans. I have been made to can't do drag and I can't be enveloped in it's art because I'm not a cis gay man. It no longer belongs 2/4
To trans people. It's no longer a trans thing to do drag. Why? Why have gay men always wanted to oppress me and my identity? I've been told way to many times that I don't belong in the queer community by gay men. I always have to prove my queerness to gay men. Only gay men 3/4
Treat me this way. Why? Why am I not allowed to be who I am? Why am I not allowed to enjoy my history? Why did you steel this from me? And why doesn't anyone care? I feel like I'm the only person who is pissed about this. Am I crazy? 4/4
