minus-squareMolossus Spondeelinkfedilink2•3 days ago@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.
