A drag queen is in fact a man who dresses and acts like a female for purposes of entertainment. Absolutely nothing to do with homosexuality.loCAtek wrote:Yes, of course. A drag queen is the most flamboyant homosexual, striving to be 'glamorous' to the extreme.
A she-male is in fact a pre-op or a never-going-to-have-that-final-op transsexual. The term has got nothing to do with prostitution. You might as well say that a female "can be a prostitute... but not always".A she-male, most commonly found in Indonesia, is a man who to all appearances is a female, but at mundane levels. Can be a prostitute, to patrons who still consider themselves heterosexual, but not always
A cross-dresser is a person who enjoys dressing in clothes designed for and traditionally worn by the opposite gender. Absolutely nothing to do with being gay, flamboyant, a sex worker or associating with any gender roles.

LOL I realize you know about homosexuality from movies so I'll recommend 'The Crying Game', 'La Cage aux Folles' and 'Rent' all feature gay Drag Queens. I happen to meet them on occasion, snce I live in the Bay Area.Sean wrote:Wow.

Shemale (also she-male) is a term used in sex work to describe trans women with male genitalia and augmented female breasts from breast augmentation and/or use of hormones.[1] According to Professors Laura Castañeda and Shannon Campbell at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School of Journalism, "Using the term she-male for a transsexual woman would be considered highly offensive, for it implies that she is working 'in the [sex] trade.'"[2]
The term she-male has been used since the mid-19th century, when it was a humorous colloquialism for female, especially an aggressive woman. It was also briefly used as an exclamation during The Great Depression era United States, before eventually settling into its current definition..

You should get out more, SeanSean wrote: Psst Lo, a word to the wise... When you get your definitions from websites and forums and then try to change it into your own words it should still make sense in order to be convincing... and you should also try to make sure that your sources know what they are talking about.
