Although drag |
Although drag artist, travesti and transformista all have very close meanings, there are some differences in context. Travesti can be seen used for everyday [[Gender Non-Conforming|gender non-conforming]] folks and even as a gender identity itself, drag artists are often skilled in one or several artistic endeavors like lipsyncing, dancing, singing, acting, etc. and do not necessarily have to dress as the opposite gender. Transformista (even while falling in the spectrum of drag) is more often used as a synonym for cross-dresser.<ref>https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/transformista</ref> |
