Trans identies must be accept as valid period the end but I find drag often veers into “woman face” territory and it’s done for entertainment not as an expression of an authentic self, not that drag is inherently wearing woman face but a lot of performers absolutely take it there. I don’t want my children, especially my daughter watching content that exaggerates my female features for entertainment and dehumanizes women into nothing more than a caricature

Did someone let JK Rowling out of her cave?

Am I wrong? What’s the point of drag as entertainment other than to dress up as a caricature of a woman? Sorry I don’t like my identity to be used for mocking and/or entertainment. If a person has a female identity because that’s the truest form of themselves I fully support that but if you’re dressing up as a mocking version of something for entertainment it’s not at all the same thing and it’s not ok. There’s a reason you didn’t address what I said and just hopped onto essentially calling me a TERF, I may be an RF but I am not TE
Claiming to be pro-trans rights and hating actual feminist points is peak hypocrisy

You couldn't be more wrong. Drag is often about getting in touch with one's feminine side, and many trans and nonbinary folks use drag as a vehicle to explore their identities. It's very much an expression of an authentic self as much as it is entertainment.
Also, drag kings are very much a thing, exploring masculinity from a feminine starting point.

If it’s not for entertainment that’s fine, which I do point out, that it’s not universal. There’s no difference in my mind between dressing up as a caricature of a woman to entertain people than there is dressing up as a caricature of any other discriminated against class for entertainment. If a person simply wants to cross dress and it’s not done with outrageous makeup, cartoonish physical proportions, over the top generalizations of women more power to them but yes, lots of drag absolutely includes the things I mentioned and no it’s not ok to put on woman face and shuck and jive for entertainment
