    To my knowledge George Santos practices drag but doesn’t identify as trans. When in doubt it’s good to just use they/them.

      while they’re in drag, it’s generally customary to use ‘she’. Outside of drag… it’s whatever they prefer. I might be out of date on that one, though.

        Different performers have different preferences - there isn’t a universe rule.

        Clothes are just clothes - they aren’t a determiner of gender and different folks have different motivations for why they want to wear drag.

          Except when those clothes make a character/persona. Drag characters/personas are by definition female unless stated otherwise, regardless of the gender identity of the performer.
