not sure which forum this belongs to so hope the Mods will sort it out .
What I want to know is why seemingly the Brits more than any other nationality have this fascination with Drag-queens/female impersonators/trannies or whatever, its not generational , it goes back to Old Mother Reilly,Pantomime Dames, Danny LaRue, Dame Edna, Lily Savage , it seems each generation has a new icon , even the Rolling Stones appeared in drag on one album cover and the rock group Queen did a video in female attire,
I've lived all over the world ,resided on 4 continents and travelled wildly but nowhere other than the UK is cross-dressing considered as normal (forget the guys in the bars in Thailand) as it is in the UK .
just curious , thanks
