Lily Savage and Dame Edna Everage were also drag acts, however their performers never claimed to be anything other than men impersonating women in order to get away with comic behaviour they wouldn’t otherwise have been able to.
Jinkx Monsoon is a drag character played by a man who claims to be an actual woman. Offstage he goes by the name Hera Hoffer and is undergoing plastic surgery and hormonal treatment in order to look more like a woman. If that’s how he wants to live his life, to the extent it doesn’t impinge on anyone else, that’s his business. He’s free to ask others to join in as well, as long as he’s also fine with others asserting that sex is immmutable.
