User:SamanthaBethSchwartz/Drag queen/Sierra.french Peer Review

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello!

There is nothing published on their sandbox page assigned for their article, so I cannot review their work or intended edits.

As for the actual article, I noticed in the first sentence that they claim that all drag queen are males which seems to blatantly ignore anyone who might be trans, non-binary, agender, gender fluid, or even simply the women who also participate in drag. I think changing it to "a drag queen is a person," so it is all-inclusive. The next sentence says that "historically, most drag queens have been men..." so the history of it is included and shows who most commonly participates.

I feel as if there is a lot of problematic phrasing in the article. As far as I have heard, drag queen can encompass anyone participating in drag. The authors of the article are trying to connote gender and drag and I think that misses the point of the entire concept.

I think the article could be better organized.

I think ball culture should be included directly into the article instead of linked to at the end
