Drag queen it's like a fancy terminology for transvestite?
Or they are cis men dressing like women but still being straight?
A drag queen is an entertainer and drag is an art form. Some are cis men, some are trans women, some are trans men, some are non-binary people and some are cis women. The vast majority are queer, but some are straight people do drag too. So basically anyone can do drag, but the majority are queer cis men.
Also transvestite is an archaic term and is mostly offensive/derogatory.
Serious question: is transvestite derogatory in its use in The Rocky Horror Picture Show?
No, not at the time it was made, but the modern LGBTQIA+ lexicon has moved on from it
Fun fact: On Drag Race, Ru used to give messages to the contestants and called it "She-mail", but they (reluctantly) stopped calling it that due to heavy viewer criticism
Edit: I should have also said the "She-mail" thing was heavily criticized by former contestants as well, which was probably an additional factor that made the show change the name
Mostly for show. Like committing to being a power ranger.
Like being a man/woman and dressing as a woman/man for social validation?? To entertain people??
Yup. Exactly like a power ranger.
Say you really liked the color green and punching baddies and wanted to show everyone else that green was awesome and punching baddies was cool too.
So you buy a green suit, get a giant green tiger car, and even have everyone just call you "Green Ranger" while you are in the suit, just to make sure everyone knows you are committed and sell the character. And it's fun and people clap for you because it's cool to see a performer doing the thing they enjoy.
So instead of dressing in primary colors and punching underpaid stunt actors in latex, they dress up as empowered women and stick to character to entertain. Mostly. There are exceptions of course, you could also be a silly side character robot or a floating face but that's getting into other topics.
Then I will say still a "He"
That's great! Still now aware of the show.
The exit is on the left and you have a great day Sir/Madam.
Thx I will 👍👍
