Definitions
1
A butch queen up in pumps — also called butch queen up in drags — is a gay man in the ball scene serving a full female illusion: heels, face, the whole feminine presentation, but only for the category. He doesn't live as a woman or medically transition; the drag is the performance, then it comes off. The phrase is the title of Marlon Bailey's landmark ballroom study and a core entry in the scene's gender vocabulary.
“He walks Realness as a butch queen by day but he's a butch queen up in pumps the second a drag category gets called.”
