Drag Race and the "She-Mail" Controversy

I haven't really said much about this. Not being a trans woman or a drag queen, it's really not my place to, but I am a fan of the show, and I'm glad that RuPaul and Logo have finally addressed his use of slurs against trans women. Anyway, I think this article  is worth a look (even if you don't agree and I suspect more than a few don't) for a nuanced take at the controversy and especially its acknowledgement of the intersection of drag and trans and the evolution of language.
