Transexuals who do drag shows

[xfiver]

A lot of top entertainers are Transexuals. And pretty much all the pageantry systems for the last couple years has been dominated by transexuals. Making a lot of the gay guys that are queens upset at our community.

Even the look on stage and in pageants has changed. Everyone is going for more of the natural look rather than painted for the GODS.

I do shows here and there. Actually I have a show the 25th in Peoria, Illinois at club Diesel welcoming me back home.

bullshit.

Vanessa, no matter the venue, you are a professional entertainer. Your friend may try to take something from you with her negative comments, but the fact remains.

In the San Francisco Bay Area I have been to drag shows at A Tinkers Dam in Santa Clara, Lido's and Mexicali in San Jose, The Bench and Bar in Oakland, Esta Noche, Marlena's and Aunt Charlie's in San Francisco and all of them featured queens and TG performers working together. I know two fashion designers, one in SF & one in San Jose, who do custom work for the entertainers & are kept quite busy doing it. As Alexis Miranda often says during her introduction for Divas' Midnight Show, "Open up your wallets people and tip these girls. It costs a lot of money to look this cheap." Personally, I find the production values to be quite high at the shows. I can't speak for the region, but from my vantage point, I don't see anyone looking down on any of the entertainers - they are too busy enjoying the show.

However, I do have a problem with drag queens 'reppin' for the
transcommunity. In some instances, I feel that they cast a negative
perception to society of us. And I am not neccessarily referring to the
shows that they do, but rather how they may conduct themselves in
the light of day.

What do you guys think of that? Are we any less transexual, should we be ashamed? A certain H/A threw it in my face that I work in gay clubs, yet couldn't get a job in the hood, yet she does neither. But being a drag queen, do that make me less of a transexual? Are there any other girls on here that have done porn and drag shows? Ts Kourtney, or Kourtney van Whales has done both. And what do the guys think?

I have to admit, I (being older, and of the older mindset) tend to think of "Drag Queens", "Female Impersonators" and the like as gay men.

Think RuPaul ( http://www.rupaul.com/ ) and Frank Marino ( http://www.frankmarino.com/index.php?page=home ).

But as of more recent years, the lines have become blurred as more of the Showgirls have gotten stuff done like breast augmentations... (I hate to mention it, but also sometimes silicone injections in the cheeks, breasts, and hips).

I would think a girl who lives full time and is taking feminizing hormones, has her own (female length) hair, and breast augmentation would have a huge advantage over all but the most natural gay male Female Impersonators.

There is a bit of a difference between being a gay male doing drag and a Transgender woman who is a showgirl - certainly they would have different friends and different things to talk about...

...Are we any less transexual, should we be ashamed? A certain H/A threw it in my face that I work in gay clubs... But being a drag queen, do that make me less of a transexual? ...

First of all, you are not less of a transsexual for working as a showgirl performing in a gay club.

You are, however, physically almost 100% a woman. So you do have what some may consider an "unfair advantage" compared to someone who has to wear a corset, hip pads, breast forms, and a ton of makeup to cover a masculine face and beard shadow.

Probably that's why your competition hates you.

But don't feel bad about it - just take it in stride. It's just that your so much closer to the real thing that it seems unfair to the others...

Some of the most beautiful trannys do drag shows.


It's part of our culture & part of our proud history.

Vanessa.

I know exactly what type of person who would have said that. They are the kind that when I show up in a hijab will say to me "you know no one here will hurt you if you do not wear that." They are serious when they say that too. A type of person who seems to know what's best for everyone else but their own shit is way out of order.

You enjoy performing, you make your living off of it. How many people in the world can say they enjoy doing their job? Not many so in that way you are lucky. For this reason in addition to the other reasons already mentioned whoever said that to you was just full of jealous resentment at your good fortune. To hell with them.

Doing drag shows does not make you less of a woman just because some male identified people do those as well. If the fact that men do a certain job made a TS less of a woman for doing that job; then most TS's would be subject to the criticism that TS's who drag get. That does not happen because this is not logical just pure jealousy's at work.
