As a fan of Drag Race I've noticed there's been a difficult area between trans and drag for a while: trans people getting pissed off with drag queens colloquially using the terms "******" and "shemale" as umbrella terms for themselves (RuPaul herself has a song called '****** Chasers' - a term for men who desire men who dress as women; it's a conflation of terms and often leads to accusations that drag queens undermine what - especially MTF - trans people are)

But the weirdest thing is this doesn't even seem to be the source of what India even puts across, she's instead going for this literal, physical fear angle that's just absurd (see: Hannah afraid of blue people in BB18) and makes her look like an idiot.

The intention of blackface was to imitate an entirely different race with the intention of dehumanising them and making them "a thing to laugh at". The intention of drag is to imitate an entirely different gender with the intention of celebrating and worshipping them and their beauty/stage presence/sexuality, there's a pretty major difference.

Ahh I forgot about that
