Preferred term

drag kings  

Definition(s)

  • Drag kings are (usually) female performers who parody masculinity in a variety of theatrical acts. Drag kings and their performances are mostly found in venues within the gay and lesbian subculture because these spaces provide safe environments for gender play and have maintained historical traditions of queer and culturally subversive performance. [Source: Encyclopedia of Gender and Society; Drag King]
