Word of the Gay: "Gender Illusionist"
A "gender illusionist" is someone who is trying to appear as the opposite sex, this can be as part of their cross-dressing identity or for entertainment and to show off their skills.
My all-time favorite "gender illusionist" is Divine! I know she's from back in the olden times, but she took all that was artificial about male-defined "female" and took it to the nth degree of insanity. She was so subversive and glamorous...and, most importantly, trashy as hell.
