hmmmm, your daughter's take on this has made me ponder a bit.

There have been drag queens for decades in New Orleans, in the French Quarter. The shows drew everybody. My parents took me to a famous nightclub one night, the My O My Club. I was maybe 13. I think this was well before trans surgeries or medical treatments related to sexual identity. These were men who identified as women, loved to dress up, had some talent as singers/performers. It wasn't gay men making fun of women. I don't think it was meant, or taken, to demean either gender.
