Become what want to be

When I read this article “RuPaul is America's most trusted name in drag queens”, I found a remarkable situation where the author calls “RuPaul” with third person “she” rather than “he”. In public society at present, many people discriminate against with transvestite fetishist. But the author shows his respect to RuPaul in this way. RuPaul is a biologic man but from her own perspective, she wants to be acknowledged as a woman. Humans have their rights and freedom. Social gender actually was a kind of popular standards that accepted by most people. The people who are alternative should not be to blame. However, the fact is that space for gender-variant performers has never been large enough to be shared. RePaul is great and hardworking. She really does well in her own career and show confidence for her partners in her group. Luckily, more and more people in 21^st century accept them and that’s changing. Eventually, Chinese people should be more open and show their kindness to these people.
