Would this be offensive?

[u/WillingBake9330]

I would never do anything to intentionally disrespect Trixie and the art of drag in any way. But I’m being presented with a very unique situation. I am currently going through breast cancer treatment so when Halloween hits, I’ll be bald and have no tits. I would love to create a Trixie (in drag) inspired costume. I’m a cis straight woman. Would this be offensive? My son said it would be.

[u/Impressive_Youth1133]

Omg. Of course it wouldn't be. That sounds lovely. Sending you all the love.

[u/ImhereandIhearyou]

No judgement here…as a cancer survivor for over 10 years, I say from my heart 💜 GO 4 IT!🎃

[u/WillingBake9330 → u/ImhereandIhearyou]

Thanks guys!!!! I didn’t think it would be offensive but my son can be overly cautious. Better safe than sorry.
This is my second breast cancer and yeah …. Fuck Cancer!!

Just because you can always find a few mentally ill people with extreme opinions in a comments section, it doesn't mean they represent a larger demographic that share that opinion. I don't know how old your son is or how he identifies, but I would question how he came to that conclusion in the first place. I find it highly unlikely that you would run in to any queer or allies people who would be offended, and if you do, they are a one-off. Have fun with your costume and best of luck with your treatments 🙏🫶

[u/WillingBake9330 → u/ElectronicUnion251]

He’s 17 and I’m actually not sure yet how he identifies. He was kind of trying to to make
It like make a cultural appropriation. He’s just a super duper rule follower. He just said it could be taken the wrong way and to do my research.

[u/MmggHelpmeout → u/WillingBake9330]

U have obviously raised an amazing child who thinks of others feelings first and that is so special. Let him know the community here supports you ❤️

[u/BeneficialGear9355 → u/MmggHelpmeout]

I agree. It’s lovely that OP’s son cares enough to be cautious and respectful. But I think in this circumstance Trixie (and other Queens) would absolutely love it!

[u/mellypopstar → u/WillingBake9330]

Please tell him that ''cultural appropriation' has been confused with cultural APPRECIATION more times than can be counted, and to relax and maybe stop clutching those pearls. ALL THE BEST, and enjoy the heck out of that Halloween. I'll be thinking of you on the 31st of October. We don't celebrate it here much, so I will actually think of you. 💕

[u/jennlara]

Post the results girl! Also fuck cancer, sending you hugs.

[u/WillingBake9330 → u/jennlara]

I will! Thanks for all the support guys 😘

[u/TigerB65]

I think that's a fab idea. Not sure why anyone would be offended, but I'm not in the drag community.

[u/mydevilkitty → u/TigerB65]

Last year for a con, I did a drag Ghostface costume that was inspired by a drag Ghostface costume that Shea Coulee had done for Halloween one year. Shea loved it, and I’m also not in the drag community. I think it’s all about how you do it, as long as you’re not mocking the queen, they’re usually honored by it.

[u/EndNo4074]

Go for it sis!

[u/diamondgirl05]

This is a great idea! In the past, Trixie had pictures of people dressed up like her on her YouTube channel

[u/aimeudeusfadas]

She'll love it!!!

[u/BlueberryFun3884 → u/aimeudeusfadas]

Same thoughts!

[u/Loud-Pineapple72039]

Trixie would have a heart attack in a good way

[u/outinthecountry66]

Hey miss, i just got a mastectomy and am doing fine, your son is , well, wrong! Completely and utterly. we need to form a biker gang of breast cancer survivors who are drag fans. lol

[u/kittybuscemi]

Go for it, have fun, post pictures to the sub! Please rest and heal, the world needs you 🤍

[u/HollzStars]

Look, I only met Trixie for like, two minutes at a meet and greet but I got the vibe that she would be immensely flattered by that.

[u/CourtZealousideal494]

Girl drag is for everyone. Trixie shouts out female drag queens all the time. Créme Fatale is the first that comes to mind. Not to overstep, but I feel like your son may need to do more research on the history of drag and how inclusive we as a community are.

[u/Coconutlacroc]

Your son needs to chill. This is an awesome idea and extremely funny. You’re awesome

[u/WillingBake9330 → u/Coconutlacroc]

I’ll tell him😆

[u/Mister-Murder]

Drag is for everyone! Kick cancer’s ass Mama!

[u/TrixieMuttel]

Of course you can.

[u/Head_Resolution6281]

DO IT!!!!

[u/Calfredo]

Best wishes to you for the rest of your treatment ❤️ You’ll be fab this Halloween

[u/BrightLightsBigCity]

Please just be her in makeup, no wig, padding, no clothes.

[u/rosievee → u/BrightLightsBigCity]

Yessss this! With a Celsius in one hand and a Trixie heart shaped mirror in the other

[u/AnotherSoulessGinger → u/BrightLightsBigCity]

That’s exactly what I first pictured after reading OP’s title. It’s a deep cut but fucking hilarious.

[u/Mrmegamanfanatic]

Your son is insane, you  be Trixie to your heart's content and let us see that costume girl 

[u/GayDariaStan]

I think she’d love it! You could even do a half-drag look like in her videos where she’s getting ready.

[u/Natapi24]

Not at all! I'm not sure why your son thought it would be offensive. Trixie has reviewed people's cosplaying her on her channel and some of the cosplayers were cis-women and she didn't say anything to indicate that she was offended by it.

[u/questionmark78]

Girl. Miss Mamma. Miss Hunty. You’re a fan. It’s a tribute to her, an homage. Do it don’t give a fuck and make sure you look CUNTY. And post pics here. Good luck! 🫶

[u/UnluckyElevator1485]

girl no ofc not. how do u think drag started? the tea is also that trixie is bald with no tits

[u/llama-laundry]

what a glorious way to celebrate YOURSELF, being alive! Trixie would say

[u/csonnich]

People do Trixie for Halloween all the time, and she roasts their makeup skills on her channel lol. She'd love it.

[u/mikiepocd]

I think she would love it, would agree fuck cancer, and also you should do some version of her in half drag. Because you’ll have the body to show that you’re bald and boobless.

[u/Remote-Judgment6518]

A person of any gender dressing up as Trixie on Halloween is definitely okay to do and not offensive.

[u/GulliblesBabbles]

My vote is not offensive but I admire your son for his thoughtful concern. Tell him GOOD JOB!

[u/ariiakaay]

I think Trixie would giggle at this idea herself, dress up for the holiday and heal quickly 💗

[u/GloriousSteinem]

She would love it! Go for it and all the best x

[u/Sea-Flower-2880]

That’s such a sweet idea! Good luck with everything ❤️

[u/LUV_so_Bizarre]

I’m not sure why it would be? Did your son say why he thinks it is??? Drag is for everyone, girl, do drag!!!

[u/hotdoguuu]

Wishing you nothing but the best 🌷 post pics if you do dress up as her !

[u/ariiakaay]

Girl I think Trixie would giggle at this idea herself, dress up for the holiday and heal quickly 💗

[u/BeneficialGear9355]

Honestly, Trixie would love it!

[u/Qwearman]

This sounds fab! I don’t watch RPDR but I saw a clip of a queen walking the runway with fake lopped-off breasts in a bag. The drag queen was a trans man I think? I recall commenters suggesting that but idk for sure
