There was an interesting radio topic on LBC yesterday. An British influencer who gender assigns as them/they non binary, has declared themselves identified as korean because of cosmetic surgery to make them/they korean looking. The debate was on whether you/they can assign a nationality to yourself/themselves by changing your/their looks.

But you hit the nail on the head when you use the word "act".
It's a show, a spectacle, aimed at amusement and bedazzlement of glitz.
It's not meant to be a 5 hour Greek tragedy.

That over the top style of the video example is not a straight man's idea of femininity.

The majority of the audience is usually female from a cross section of age groups.
I really don't think they go in there with any preconceptions of the performers representing a gay perception of a heterosexual perception of a parody of femininity.
Really don't think it's that deep.
