Drag Queen can be Cis and thus not Trans and Transvestites are different then Transgender's people.Dodgy

Quote:transvestite

: a person who wears clothes designed for the opposite sex : a cross-dresser

Like I said, It was literally a trans person...
Cis people do that too. So it's not the same... Dodgy

Thus the fact it was a Trans-person doesn't refute the sign.

Look up transexual.  Just 'cause it starts with 'trans' doesn't make it the same thing.

They don’t. ‘Trans’ is shorthand for ‘transgender’, not ‘transvestite’.

Trans is simply a prefix, it's been around a very long time, to describe many things. Transgenders don't get to claim it.
