So, I feel that drag is all about performance and entertainment. A school is not the proper place for that - with the exception of the occasional costume/ halloween/ spirit days that some schools have. Drag queens to not wear drag all the time. This was my big problem with To Wong Foo - the 3 queens stayed in drag the whole movie. Now - Alex being worried about AJ's actions reflecting poorly on him is wrong, but I think there is a valid point in that this is likely to disrupt his class. Now, if AJ is trans - and dressing in 'feminine' clothes is an expression of his gender, then I think that is fine, and they need to support AJ in that. But drag is NOT the same thing.

2018-04-23 16:18:02 +0000 UTCI'm torn. On one hand, he should dress how he wants. On the other, there is the bullying and if you can protect someone by having them tone down their expression, should you?

2018-04-22 00:52:08 +0000 UTCConsidering that John HAS done the cross-dressing/drag thing and Alex hasn't ... this brings some good perspective. On the other hand, going to school as a drag queen might be easier on a Costume Day.
