 For much of history, drag queens were men, but in more modern times, cisgender and trans women, as well as non-binary people, also perform as drag queens.In a 2018 article, "Psychology Today" stated that drag queens are "most typically gay cisgender men (though there are many drag queens of varying sexual orientations and gender identities)".Examples of trans female drag queens, sometimes called "trans queens", include Monica Beverly Hillz and Peppermint.
