- Interviewer: Do you feel that there is more or less tolerance for men who like to dress as women, for whatever reason, or for women who like to dress as men? You remember Lady Gaga for one of the big awards shows dressed as kind of her alter ego [Joe Calderone].
- RuPaul: Well, we are a culture who is obsessed with masculine behavior. For a man to dress in what's considered girls' clothes or whatever, that's definitely looked down upon. But for a woman to do it, it's completely different. You know, I've had talk show hosts ask me, so why are you wearing women's clothes? And they, of course, are dressed in slacks, a blazer, and you know, a button-down shirt. And people don't get it. And the truth is we're all doing it, but we have a judgment against what's considered feminine or weak.
