Drag Queen

an individual who performs, or dresses for effect, in a hyper-feminine way, most often with a theatrical aspect.

It is important to note that being a Drag Queen is not a gender identity in itself: Drag Queens may be of any sexuality, and of any gender identity: being a Drag performer does not automatically mean that the performer is transgender or nonbinary.

A Drag Queen that is cisgender and assigned female at birth is known as a faux queen (although some consider the label problematic).
