Drag King Performance

Drag King Performance is a performative practice within queer masculinities that involves the stylized embodiment and theatrical exaggeration of masculine gender presentations by performers, typically women, non-binary, or transgender individuals, to challenge normative constructions of gender and expose its performative, rather than innate, foundations.
