Answer 1

Drag *kings* exist, usually masc women impersonating men in an act.

*To me,* drag is performance, king or queen is a title of good performers, and a person in the opposite gender’s clothes (who isn’t typically androgynous, dressing to appear as the other binary to the world while not constantly identifying as the opposing binary gender) is a cross dresser/transvestite. This is *not* necessarily transgender (identity).
