Hi Frankie, being that I too live in the bible belt of MO I totally understand what you mean. I have known several Drag Kings who perform here and I personally loved that they could express themselves for who they are even though not everyone would treat them with respect and dignity.

I met my Sir who is FTM 2 years ago and have faded into the background of the gay community here as I did not feel acceptance from many of my lesbian friends. To me if you cant love me for who I am I dont have time to give you to make me feel bad about who I am.

I would be interested to know how performing has helped YOU in this community. Welcome to the Planet.
