Definitions
1
A ballroom category that judges feminine presentation over gender identity — so trans women, cis women and butch queens in drag can all walk it together. It emerged in the early 2000s when butch-queen-up-in-drag voguing got hot and the scene needed a lane judged on the illusion delivered, not the body underneath. The whole genius of ballroom's gender model in one term: performance first.
“Female figure means everyone in that lineup is being judged on the same illusion.”
