I don't like to be confused with them is all. I love them very much, but every time I talk to a straight person about my cross-dressing they're like, "Oh yes, I saw this drag show while in Key West...".

And I'm glad my straight friends have a reference point and they are trying to relate to my CDing, but what we do is different. I think of what we strive for is more of a what I would call being a Gender Illusionist.

Also, I believe the drag queen personae comes from a place of anger. Where the gay person that does a drag queen show is saying, "Hey society, this is what I think of your rules, I'll do what I want!" This is just my amateur hour psychology evaluation. Most of the drag queens that I have met are gay and have no desire to be female all the time. There are exceptions.

So, no I don't hate them, just don't want to be confused as one of them. Like another friend of mine said to me when I showed them my picture of Tracy, "Hey, do you do shows?" No, but, maybe I should! LOL
