look i know this may be hard to hear but drag belongs to the LGBTQ+ community, no one else. it’s not for 14 year old straight girls who think they somehow belong in the queer community because they find some drag queens hot. and now i’m seeing so many of y’all getting butthurt about Trixie saying she didn’t start doing drag to fraternize with children, but guess what? she literally didn’t. and those of y’all acting like you’re the reason she’s making money are mostly underage and unable to actually go to her shows, where she makes her living. y’all following her on twitter, blogging about her on tumblr, and buying some of her merch ain’t doing shit. 

and i’m guessing if she’s used that “joke” so many times it’s probably because it isn’t a joke. and the other half of y’all trying to act like you know everything about drag have been watching drag race for what 2-3 seasons?? have never been to a drag show, only know of drag queens who have been on drag race, and only stan queens you find hot out of drag. 

the straight people in this community/fandom are always the ones i see be the most vocal which is absolutely insane to me. some of y’all should just keep blogging about your favorite queen and stay silent some times. it’s not always necessary to add the input of a straight teenaged girl. 

okay so i’m reblogging this to add some shit since it seems many people can’t read or are trying to make this something it isn’t. 

first of all, no where in this post did i say that only gay men can do drag, idk where y’all got that. literally anyone can do drag, and i encourage people to. my point is, if you’re cishet in the community you need to not be so vocal on issues regarding the queer community. let the actual LGBTQ+ people speak, and stop acting like you have every right to be here saying dumb shit. this post is for the cishet teenage girls i see fetishizing drag queens and objectifying them for their own enjoyment. the same girls who ship every gay couple on television but are uncomfortable seeing real gay people show affection. the same girls who only stan queens that they find hot out of drag. the same girls who go to dragcon and read fanfiction to queens when they’ve been begged not to. the same girls tweeting disgusting sexual shit to drag queens. THESE are my issues with straight girls in this community. 

i don’t give a fuck who loves drag as long as you actually respect the queens and the people in this community. as long as you realize that these people you fawn over are real humans trying to make a living doing something they love. believe it or not, not everything is for or about straight people. 

if you’re not cishet then this post isn’t about you and you don’t need to try to defend yourself. and if you’re offended by this post, you’re probably part of the problem.
