this quote being taken out of the context of drag is so frustrating. an afab performer is literally talking about HER (and probably other artists’ in the article) experiences of not being visible/not being paid enough as a drag artist, and the response is “lmao that’s not true”
DRAG IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE POLITICAL ✊🏳️🌈

naming what we’re experiencing doesnt invalidate anyone else’s struggle, ✨it just makes space for ours✨ thats the first step toward change and we cant fix what we’re not allowed to talk about.
talking about the invisibility of kings, sapphics, and transmascs doesnt take away from anyone else’s experience. we shouldnt have to name every issue or be expected to solve every injustice before we're allowed to name our own +
