Cisgender female drag queens are sometimes called faux queens or bioqueens, though critics of this practice assert that faux carries the connotation that the drag is fake, and that the use of bioqueen exclusively for cisgender females is a misnomer since trans-feminine queens exhibit gynomorphic features. Examples of trans-feminine drag queens, sometimes called trans queens, include Monica Beverly Hillz and Peppermint. In a 2018 article, Psychology Today stated that drag queens are "most typically gay cisgender men (though there are many drag queens of varying sexual orientations and gender identities)". įor much of history, drag queens were men, but in more modern times, cisgender and trans women, as well as non-binary people, also perform as drag queens. Drag is parsed as changing one's clothes to those of a different sex, while queen is said to refer to a homosexual man. In the 1970's, drag queen is again defined as a "homosexual transvestite". The term drag queen implied "homosexual transvestite", but the term drag carried no such connotations. Drag queens are further described as having an attitude of superiority, and being commonly courted by heterosexual men who would "not ordinarily participate in homosexual relationships". In 1971, an article in Lee Brewster's Drag Queens magazine describes a drag queen as a "homosexual tranvestite" who is hyperfeminine, flamboyant, and militant. It may have been based on the term "grand rag" which was historically used for a masquerade ball. The origin of the term drag is uncertain the first recorded use of drag in reference to actors dressed in women's clothing is from 1870. (Or am I?)
