  • Drag conjugates verbs as if drag is talking about dragself in the third person.

    For example:

    People constantly ask drag why drag uses neopronouns.

    If “drag” were being used as a first person pronoun there, it should read:

    People constantly ask drag why drag use neopronouns.

    Also, using an apostrophe to indicate possession, as in:

    But it looks as though those same three people downvoted drag for explaining drag’s pronouns.

    Reads like a third person perspective where “drag” is being used as a proper noun. “My”, “your”, “her”, “his”, and “their” don’t have apostrophes.

    I’m not trying to criticize drag, just giving a possible explanation why there is confusion about drag’s pronouns.
