but I can’t help thinking

of Destiny

and how she bullied me,

not knowing

her own twin brother

would be the same kind of

sinner.

I think of her apology.

Did she only feel guilty

because it was something

so close to home?

I guess it doesn’t matter.

I’ve already forgiven her,

and now Destiny’s brother

could become my man.

How to Do Drag

Your gender matters but should not

limit you. Know your audience; if possible,

see shows at the venue before

you perform there. Know that your audience

wants to be entertained. Know that

you don’t necessarily have to give

your audience or anyone what they want.

Know that your audience makes

assumptions about you, your gender

presentation, and the gender you were

assigned at birth. Your gender is not

what this is about. Remember that

this is a character, it’s gender play
