I once raised an issue with a SVP of marketing for only highlighting a single cis male drag queen instead of the incredible accomplishments of a multitude of LGBTQ women.
Nothing fucking happened. He got the whole spotlight, we got the bullshit excuses.

If you're a trans woman reading this: It's complicated and nuanced and my take wasn't so much about people in the trans community but just cis people in general thinking that it's this universally affirming thing for trans women.
Drag can be a route to self discovery and empowerment to a lot of us, but we so often forget that it can also be a source of alienation. There's no universal trans experience and so many people just assume that drag can't be transphobic.
