@squirrel I mean it's kind of transmisogynoir as well?
Drag is cool but I don't know how to think about crossdressing's association with minstrelsy.
It doesn't just mock Black women but also mocks Black queerness. And in doing so mocks queer people more generally.
I don't know how I should feel about crossdressing minstrelsy. It's both a repudiation of transfeminity as taboo and a secret illicit pleasure in it.
I need to read more on the history of Blackface.
