Cisgender female drag queens are sometimes called faux queens or bioqueens, though critics of this practice assert that faux carries the connotation that the drag is fake, and that the use of bioqueen exclusively for cisgender females is a misnomer since trans-feminine queens exhibit gynomorphic features. Examples of trans-feminine drag queens, sometimes called trans queens, include Monica Beverly Hillz and Peppermint. In a 2018 article, Psychology Today stated that drag queens are 'most typically gay cisgender men (though there are many drag queens of varying sexual orientations and gender identities)'. For much of history, drag queens were men, but in more modern times, cisgender and trans women, as well as non-binary people, also perform as drag queens.
