Adam All Gets Serious

Adam chats openly about his experience and the opinions he has formed therein. Masculinity and the drag king scene, queer identity and safe spaces, Adam goes there. Unscripted and unfiltered, edited only to tidy and remove ums and pauses. These opinions in no way reflect those of anyone else, not even those within the drag king community, they are simply his own. "When I speak about masculinity and maleness I speak about mannerisms, social interactions and gendering, I am not speaking about sex, assumed or assigned gender roles, or relationships, only personal felt identity." "When I speak about queer spaces I am speaking about nightclubs, pubs, venues and events including pride events and other public appearances." "When I speak about being silenced I am speaking about having our needs and opinions ignored or undervalued, I have experienced this. I am speaking about our art being ignored or undervalued, I have experienced this." Drag Kings are not new, they are not a response to the popularity of a certain TV show, they are not an intermediary step to trans identity (they are not an identity at all, some trans people also perform drag, they are not the same thing).
