So it's a "she" but a "drag queen"? So is this person a male who dresses as a female, or a female dressed as a male, or is there some new definition, here?
Shouldn't "she" be a "he"?
Vaginal Davis refers to herself as "she", her biological sex is male (we all can just asume), she dresses in male or female codes or none codes at all: She just dresses. User:tarion23
- It should be changed, because regardless of what he thinks he is a he. It is all about gender and social construction, and socially he is a he.
[edit] updated
i made some updates, gave a more complete overview (but by no means comprehensive) and include some sources for criticism on vaginal davis's work. i am the author of the second text. this is just to give those of you who don't know davis's work, or her importance to performance art, somewhere to turn for more reliable information. davis, by the way, really goes by "vaginal davis", "ms. davis" and sometimes, "dr. davis". she dropped the "creme" a while ago. and i go back and forth between "him/he" and "her/she". it's terrific that someone started a page for her.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Vaginal Davis record.jpg
Image:Vaginal Davis record.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
