travesty

Slang to describe a fashionable transgender person, androgynous person, drag queen/king, or cross-dresser. Originates from the French word "travesti," which was used to describe theater characters played by a performer of the opposite sex.

The modern word "travesty" is a negative adjective to describe a cheap parody or imitation (i.e. "a travesty of justice"). Travesty as a slang term is comparable to to other negative words spun in a positive light, such as "nasty," "baddie," or "sick".
