I will never invalidate a trans person's feelings or experiences. I can't even imagine the hell you've gone through/go through regularly for just existing as your most authentic self.
But drag is not about dressing up as the opposite sex you were assigned at birth. There are AFAB queens, there are drag kings of all genders, non-binary performers who keep their pronouns in drag.
People go out of their way to blur the line between what is considered feminine and masculine. If Rupaul's drag race is the cornerstone of drag that we make it out to be, sure. We got serious issues. But most drag performers aren't on that heavily controlled and cast show. It is reality TV, not reality.
Drag performers and transgender folx have been there fighting for our rights at, and preceding Stonewall. They were there, pushing the envelope, challenging the imminent danger. Both groups are so strong and play such important roles in our community. I hate that idiots have created these feelings and this division for you 馃様

idk- i think lack of education & ignorance would cause someone (especially in the LGBT community themselves) to wanna separate/divide themselves, and not understand the contributions made by other people in the LGBT community who share many similar struggles with them.
