Sometimes it feels tiring to put myself in these spaces when I don't feel like I get that much back and half the time I don't even feel safe. Especially when the majority of those given the most space are cis, non-disabled, male and white. Which drag race just further enforces.
Being trans and neurodivergent feel like sometimes my drag isn't seen as being as good or bc I don't network as much it's harder for me to get booked. Like all the comments I've got have been around my identity.
Cw: assault
The last bar I performed in I had someone attempt to grab me and my props and someone grab me by the arm and grab my face bc they wanted to show me to their friend 😩🤢 like I was a prop and not an actual human being
