I never knew there was a term for me already (somewhat) embraced and widespread in the community! This is why I NEED to be in San Fran and not fucking Salt Lake City. This and so many other reasons…
I love it, though I still prefer my femme drag queen gender to faux queen, it seems so… fake? I mean, if you think about it, in some ways bio-females hyperenacting femininity similar to drag queen femininity is just as if not more disrupting to the idea of gender as natural than male drag queens. At least, I think so. The trouble is getting to a place where you’re performing that hyper-femininity, and most of the time that is not easy unless you go completely over the top, which can be difficult.
Of course, I was thinking earlier how it would be wonderful to dress as a boy. I do embrace genderqueer as well, among other labels. While I’m a pomo girl I also think that labels have their usefulness, especially in a society which automatically labels, and so I choose to label myself.

@gaylourdes: Thank you, I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I haven’t written as much as I’d like to about my femme drag queen identity, but I have a few posts in the works now, actually, but obviously they’re not posted yet. I recommend you reading my long account of each gender label if you haven’t already, and feel free to comment on other posts or send me an email if you have any questions or just want to chat about gender! Looking forward to hearing from you one way or another.
