Drag Queens and unique scenes

I am such a strange strange person. I'm so easily drawn to stuff. I was reading a book about Drag and everything, I'm now daydreaming about it. Certainly would fulfil my desires and like of show business. My mother certainly wouldn't approve and my Dad would view it oddly. Also... When one is Trigender.... Is one a Drag King, Drag Queen or some different category that is yet unheard of?

I love how Drag is supposed to beat the boundary of sex and gender yet the whole group, the whole category, is split by whether the performer is biologically male or female... As far as I have heard, drag Queen and Drag Kings have completely different acts. Not the least of which this is because they developed differently and to counter the gender norms for each individual...

While Drag Queens have a lot of make up and interesting dress up, Drag Kings tend to follow the no make up rule. When one is a Drag King one tries to look more male, when one is a Drag Queen one goes more into a act of a female. Certainly there is Androgyny in Drag Queen world but not in the Drag king world. That honestly...It's ironically stupid, those rules although the acts are different. Although I do think they could be different without my knowledge which would be interesting.

I technically shouldn't be posting this since I need to go to an exam but I'll get this off my chest. I've been good otherwise... I'll mention the stuff about my Grandma here later... Putting this up to remind me to post it up. For now bye.
