This is just silly. Drag shows have been going in America since there was an America. Ru Paul was a big star in the 90s. No one is going after drag performers. Not more than usual, at least - maybe your odd city zoning committee that hasn't enough to do.
This is typical MSM, conflating a niche market troop of lost boys to sexual predators on campuses. Drag performers never demanded that people play along with them. Quite the contrary - bad for the business model. The whole idea of drag is that you're NOT "really a woman."
I honestly never appreciated comedic drag, or understood why anyone would be interested in watching that. I suppose it allows men to poke fun at what they consider typical female behavior by mocking it, usually in an overly sexual way. Weirdo comedy, perhaps? But, I get what you are saying about the idea of drag - I sort of agree with you there. It was a form of comedy, which was never meant to be a lifestyle.
