\"drag\"<\/p>\n

A drag king or queen<\/span> is a person of any gender identity<\/a> that performs femininity, masculinity, or something in between.<\/p>\n

Different styles of drag call attention to gender<\/span> performativity. It plays a part in community building for gay<\/a>, lesbian<\/a>, bisexual<\/a>, and transgender<\/a> people.<\/p>\n

While drag queens have a long history, drag kings are a more recent phenomenon. Additionally, in black and Latino communities, what is known as “ballroom”, features competitions where individuals aim for “realness.”<\/p>\n

Vogue shares that “historically, drag kings have been female-aligned<\/a> performance artists who wear masculine drag and personify male-aligned<\/a> gender<\/span> stereotypes. However, as understandings of gender<\/span> have become more fluid in recent years, so too has this definition. Now, there are trans men kings, nonbinary<\/a> kings, and even cisgender<\/a> male-aligned individuals who perform as drag kings—just as there are cisgender<\/span> female-aligned individuals who perform as queens.”<\/p>\n
