Gender Appropriation

Gender Appropriation is the sociological phenomena whereby a man or woman adopts a male/female persona (i.e. identifying as a transgender woman/man). The individual may wear clothing traditionally affiliated with the opposite sex (i.e high heels, dresses, baggy jeans, etc). It can also apply to Drag-Queens and Drag-Kings.

Transgenderism is an example of gender appropriation.

Drag-Queens are mocking feminity and degenerating the female image. This is a typical example of gender appropriation!
