I think by missing the first half of this documentary made me less understand the true concept that this documentary is trying to bring forth. Before seeing this film, I thought it was about solely "drag kings" but after watching the second portion of the film it really is about both drag queens and kings. What was interesting to me is that this is the first time i have actually heard the term "drag kings." I know there are people in the world who are women and dress up as men, but never gave them the name "drag kings." It amazes me how someone can be so ridiculed by society but even so, that someone doesn't conform to societal standards. This is similar to the other groups who are forced to conform to these standards but resist this. Groups such as, homosexuals, minorities, and others groups who struggle due to societal standards. This movie gave me a new out look on gender because I never knew there could be so many identities and in fact one shouldn't have to conform to any identity, they should be their own person.
