Other than the relatively inconsequential circumstance that one is a woman and the other is a man, the main difference between a woman born transsexual and a drag queen is that a transsexual spends her life savings on operations to correct a birth defect and a drag queen spends all his money on costumes and make-up. There is little difference in the overall cost, however, and its effect on a person’s bank account – the transsexual in a relatively short period of time, the drag queen over his lifetime -- the subsequent results are distinctly dissimilar.
