And Courtney is whatever she says she is. Gender fluid, gender queer.. all valid choices that come under the LGBTQ banner. Bloody support each other!

Agree with this to an extent. I actually think India's objection is very similar to the argument that "transwomen shouldn't be classed as women because they're not the same"... ironically
but really being in the same 'category' as another type of person doesn't mean they should have to be thought of as the same. But because so many people do think that way I think that's what she's really objecting to, what other people's views of her might be because of the categorisation, which is understandable but just a little misguided imo, I don't think she really means anything bad by it though or that she has anything against drag queens. (I also think that over-categorisation is a problem and it's what causes most of these issues but that's the world we live in.)
