  1. But, that simply isn't the case. The minstrel shows were popular for less than a century, and didn't even start out so racist. Drag shows are just the most recent iteration of a tradition that's literally thousands of years old. I'm sorry, but you're just wrong about this. Cross dressing has never been exclusive to transgender people, there are various reasons why people do it, but for the longest time people thought crossdressing meant somebody was gay.

  2. Why? So, men that aren't trans aren't allowed to be transvestites and get fabulous? This is just one of the last vestiges of a theatrical tradition that goes back literally thousands of years. The main other one is sketch comedy shows with insufficient casting to avoid crossdressing. Transvestites were never exclusively transgender. There were various reasons for it.
