Drag queens, the men using heavy make up and dress colorful uniforms, used to be despised by the mainstreaming of people, however, it's now kind of mainstreaming fashion.
Ru Paul, one of the most famous founders of the drag queens' show，bring the ideological trend of man's performing femininity in the stage. It's weird that such a man who rebel against orthodoxy should have a assignable influence in the whole nation. He is an actual supermodel, a billboard-charting singer, and a media mogul. He has her own reality show, Ru Paul's Drag Race, which promote the trend of drag queen as he preaches always. Her talent, nerve,uniqueness,charisma no matter in music or business, bring and prosper the spectrum of male- to- female performance and femininity into mainstream popular culture.
Enter Big Freedia, also a incrediblely talented trans singer and rapper, follows the step of Ru Paul. He gained major attention with her guest spot on RuPaul's 2013 single" Peanut Butter". They share so many as Ru Paul is the founder of the trend and Freedia is the continuator.
We need to embrace the changeable society, so it's not strange for us to visual the gender roles's switch. What we really need to do is to provide a huge space for gender-variant performers.
