According to Aqua Marina she said ” Drag back in the day used to mean gay men or men in general dressing up as women. RuPaul's Drag Race, even RuPaul himself believes that that's still what it needs to be. It's very old-school mindset. I mean nowadays drag is anything, drag is whatever you want it to be. To me, to put it dumbly, I think it's like musical theater.”
But according to Kelly Shortandqueer is drag is both in artistic art form and a means of personal expression.  There's a performance aspect to it, often exaggerating gender norms, both in the ways that drag queens play with femininity and drag kings play with masculinity. Personally, I love when drag performers can play with a mix of masculine and feminine highlighting beautiful and creative ways to express gender. A drag queen is a person, traditionally male, who dresses in drag and often acts, with exaggerated femininity and in female gender roles. Often they will exaggerate certain characteristics such as make-up and eyelashes for comic, dramatic or satirical effect. While drag is very much associated with gay men and gay culture, there are drag artists of all genders and sexualities.

Doing drag, means that people transform into a different world for a minute, for some people it's an escape. There's a Drag Queens are mens who perform as a woman and Drag Kings perform as men. And for Divinity Ray story, why he do drag is because he was a lot insecure at that point. By creating Aqua, it's helped him as a perfomer well-round his talent on stage. Also he noticed, when he's off stage, he feels more stronger as a human being as well, because Aqua is his inspiration. Also based on Kelly S. story, why he's do drag is because, he loved when drag performance can play with a mix of masculine and feminine highlighting beautiful and creative ways to express gender. Drag has become a way that Kelly can play with femininity in comfortable ways.

What is gender transition? Based on wikipedia, Gender transition or transition is the period when an individual changes his gender role to another gender role that is different from the one that was assigned to him at birth. This process generally includes physical and medical aspects as well as social and legal aspects. So many people gender transition as having at least three different aspects: social transition, medical transition, and legal transition. Social transition is the process of changing how they're speak, because we all know how them pronouncing while they're speaking. and also the way they dress. Medical transition. Many transgender people decide to transition medically in order to align their bodies with the gender they feel inside. That's very expensive, and costs a lot of money. Legal transition is transition that changing their identity.

Before that, you can watch video below and it might help you more understand what Social Trans is.

Social transition is something that effects almost every single trans person before they're able to medically transition. Social transition coming out with your environment: your friend, family, partner, etc. An aspect of social transtion is to tell them the new name or pronouns that you are now going to be. And doing some kind of like that might hard for some people, because the person who trans socially might not physically look like the gender that they are trying to present as. Because you know, society is looked to 2 gender boxes 'Boy and Girl'.

how a different tragender can be accepted

In this world many people choose to be themselves even though it sounds absurd to the ears of the average person, even though abroad such as in the United States there have been many things like this and have become commonplace there. But here I take an example in Indonesia.

Dorce Gamalama (Dedi Yuliardi Ashadi) as known as Dorce's mother was born in Solok, West Sumatra, 21 July 1963. He is a transgender woman, works as an entertainer / comedian in Indonesia.

It was all started in junior high school when he focused on his carrier, he also began to realize his tendency to be attracted to women. He also uses this to make his appearance on the stage even more attractive, namely comedy by pretending to be a woman. It was then that she got the nickname of Myrna.

Feeling more and more trapped in a man's body, he then decided to undergo sex change surgery to become a woman. This was done in Surabaya. Despite opposition from various parties, this was also widely reported by the mass media and made Dorce even more famous. After appearing on the Surabaya regional station TVRI, he also began to appear on TVRI central Jakarta and was invited to appear in various cities in Indonesia.

Need a time when she can be accepted even though she was initially talked about from various parties because the things she did were still not accepted by various parties, but Mrs. Dorce proved that even though with her new sex she could be known by many people and should not be ashamed of changes in her sex.

Community views on lgbt (transgender transition)

Gender transition or transition is the period when an individual changes his gender role to another gender role that is different from the one that was designated for him at birth. This process generally includes physical and medical aspects as well as social and legal aspects.

Some people simply cannot accept the existence of transgender and transsexual people. The opposition to transgender and transsexual people in society is still very strong. Negative stereotypes are still embedded in this group.

Although the community cannot fully accept the existence of transgender people, respondents still hope that there is mutual respect between communities.

LGBT in Indonesia is still a taboo subject, especially for groups whose thoughts are based on religion. Most of them blasphemed the behavior and sexual orientation of this LGBT group. The MUI even issued a fatwa rejecting the practice of sexual relations and marriage.

To be (lgbt) Transgender in my opinion is an effort that is not easy and it is the choice of each person, of course, but it is not good, like not being grateful for what God has given to himself.

Practices and Attitudes Toward LGBT Groups

In general, LGBT groups in Indonesia still experience a lot of violence and citizenship in employment and living opportunities. Meanwhile, those who were successful also experienced discriminatory treatment such as being humiliated, shunned, threatened, and experienced physical violence.

LGBT groups generally expect a more balanced and fair treatment from the community, they want sexual orientation and sexual behavior that do not become obstacles for them in society, achieving and contributing to development.

An example of a transgender artist, Geby Vesta, who participated in the Miss International Queen event, and received the title of Miss Congeniality. he proved that being transgender does not always have negative connotations and can bring the nation's name to the international.

It is aimed at holding this contest to raise awareness of transgender rights among the international community.

I think right now is that we have to have a tolerant attitude or attitude towards the rights of the LGBT community but tolerance does not mean legalized.

Transition for transgender is a self-process

# data[].attributes.body
Transition is a process of change that is generally undertaken by trans individuals to obtain the required body image and identity. It is to live up to society's standards that influences transgender friends to make the transition.
In making the transition is to be aware, understand, and enjoy every process. Being aware means making decisions of one's own will, not people's will. Understanding means gathering sufficient and accountable information before making decisions, as well as making careful planning and preparation.
They build a body image based on societal standards, and are willing to do many things to achieve it. Body talk or reflection can remind a person of every little milestone he has achieved.
From the experiences of our transgender friends, we can learn that there is nothing wrong with having a body image, including an image that fits the image of society. Besides that, there is nothing wrong with doing various things so that body image can be achieved. However, in every process carried out, the most important thing is to be diligent in reflecting and of course: put yourself first.

Setiap orang pasti memiliki gambaran, perasaan, serta pikiran atas tubuhnya sendiri atau dikenal sebagai body image (citra tubuh). Citra tubuh berpengaruh terhadap kepercayaan diri dan kenyamanan dalam berinteraksi. Salah satu hal yang memengaruhi citra tubuh adalah pandangan masyarakat tentang tubuh ideal dan tidak ideal. Misalnya, sebagian besar orang Indonesia meyakini bahwa tubuh ideal perempuan itu langsing, berkulit putih, dan berambut panjang. Hal ini bisa saja membuat remaja perempuan yang tidak sesuai pandangan umum tersebut merasa dirinya tidak cantik lalu berkeinginan diet ekstrim, memutihkan kulit serta meluruskan rambutnya.

Citra tubuh teman-teman transgender juga dipengaruhi pandangan masyarakat tersebut. Namun ada juga faktor lain yang tidak kalah penting. Mario Prajna Pratama dari Transhition Collective (komunitas yang bergerak dalam isu identitas gender, ekspresi gender, dan keragaman tubuh) menguraikan bahwa kebanyakan transgender mengalami gender dysphoria atau rasa ketidaknyamanan hebat yang disebabkan perbedaan antara identitas gender dengan gender yang ditetapkan, berikut dengan jenis kelamin yang dikaitkan pada gender tersebut. Misalnya, seorang transgender laki-laki tidak nyaman memiliki payudara karena payudara identik dengan gender perempuan.

Tama juga menjelaskan meskipun tidak semua mengalami gender dysphoria. Namun, persoalan tubuh, termasuk penampilan fisik atau ekspresi adalah hal penting bagi hampir semua transgender karena hal ini berdampak pada bagaimana orang mengidentifikasi dan memperlakukan mereka. Contoh sederhana, penampilan menjadi penentu awal apakah orang akan memanggil mereka sebagai Mbak, Mas, atau panggilan lainnya. Oleh karena itu, banyak transgender kemudian melakukan transisi fisik; mencakup penampilan seperti model rambut dan pilihan pakaian, hingga transisi medis; seperti terapi hormon dan operasi penyesuaian tubuh.

Transisi merupakan proses perubahan yang umumnya dilakukan individu trans untuk mendapatkan gambaran tubuh dan identitas yang dibutuhkan. Transisi bisa dilakukan secara sosial, estetika, medis, dan/atau legal (Arus Pelangi, 2017).

Untuk memenuhi standar masyarakat inilah yang memengaruhi teman-teman transgender melakukan transisi. "Masyarakat kan punya standar soal tubuh cowok dan cewek yang ideal itu bagaimana. Bagi transgender tuntutan untuk memenuhi standar tersebut jadi terasa berlipat ganda. Misal, transmen akan berusaha keras agar terlihat 'cowok banget', agar tidak ada seorang pun yang menganggap mereka perempuan, agar orang memanggil mereka 'mas' dan memperlakukan seperti yang mereka mau. Mereka membangun citra tubuh berdasarkan standar masyarakat, dan rela melakukan banyak hal agar bisa mencapainya. Sebagai pembuktian bahwa mereka laki-laki,"urainya saat diwawancarai Redaksi Qbukatabu.

Tama juga menambahkan demi memenuhi citratubuh yang sesuai norma masyarakat tersebut, tidak sedikit kawan transgender yang mengambil keputusan terburu-buru untuk transisi, dengan cara yang kurang aman. "Di kalangan trans laki-laki ( trans man) misalnya, menggunakan breast binder (pembebat dada) terlalu ketat karena ingin terlihat memiliki dada yang rata. Tidak mempertimbangkan dada yang terasa sesak dan sulit bernafas. Padahal di kalangan laki-laki cis pun banyak yang tidak memiliki dada rata, berkumis atau berjenggot. Sedangkan di kalangan transpuan, ada yang minum hormon dalam jumlah berlebihan atau suntik silikon dengan tidak aman dan jumlahnya juga berlebihan,"kata Tama.

Lalu apakah melakukan transisi untuk memperoleh citra tubuh yang diinginkan itu salah? Tama mengatakan tidak ada yang salah, toh pada dasarnya semua orang punya citra tubuh dan mengupayakan berbagai hal untuk mencapai citra tubuhnya masing-masing. Transisi pada dasarnya bukan kewajiban tetapi keputusan personal. Individu trans itulah yang memiliki kuasa penuh akan melakukan transisi atau tidak. Jika melakukan transisi maka ia berhak menentukan transisi seperti apa yang diinginkan. Namun, Tama juga menekankan pentingnya menengok citra diri masing-masing secara berkala. "Benarkah ini tubuh dan ekspresi yang kuinginkan? Apakah aku benar-benar nyaman dengan tubuh yang seperti itu, atau aku hanya berusaha menyenangkan orang lain? Aku bertransisi demi kebahagianku, atau demi kebahagiaan orang lain?" demikian berbagai hal yang menurut Tama perlu terus ditanyakan pada diri sendiri.

Pada dasarnya tuntutan masyarakat tidak ada habisnya. Oleh karena itu, dalam melakukan transisi teman-teman transgender perlu mengutamakan diri sendiri. "Tuntutan masyarakat, pasangan, teman, dan orang sekitar itu tidak akan ada habisnya. Jika dituruti terus, kita bisa habis. Habis tenaga, habis uang, habis perasaan. Badan juga bisa habis, karena pada akhirnya kita juga yang menanggung risiko atas setiap proses transisi, misal kolesterol jadi tinggi karena suntik hormon testosteron, atau sesak napas keracunan silikon. " ujarnya.

Hal selanjutnya yang perlu diingat dalam melakukan transisi adalah menyadari, memahami, dan menikmati setiap prosesnya. Menyadari artinya mengambil keputusan atas keinginan sendiri, bukan kemauan orang. Memahami berarti mengumpulkan informasi yang cukup dan dapat dipertanggungjawabkan sebelum mengambil keputusan, serta membuat perencanaan dan persiapan yang matang. Konseling dan konsultasi pada dokter atau penyedia layanan informasi adalah salah satu cara yang sebaiknya ditempuh, khususnya sebelum melakukan transisi medis. Sementara menikmati proses berarti tidak terburu-buru dan selalu ingat bahwa transisi butuh proses.

"Perubahan tidak terjadi dalam sekejap. Dan tiap orang bisa beda hasil. Jangan sampai kita makin stress gara-gara kumis tidak muncul, padahal memang baru setahun suntik hormon, atau ternyata memang tidak punya gen kumis dan jenggot." jelas Tama.

Tama juga menjelaskan atas dasar itulah pada 2014, Transhition Collective melaksanakan Transmen Camp; kelompok dukungan ( support group) untuk belajar bersama antara teman-teman transmen. "Transmen Camp pertama pada 2014 dan yang kedua pada 2015. Ini merupakan support group untuk ruang bertemu dan belajar bersama bagi teman-teman transmen. Dan salah satu sesi belajar adalah body image."urainya.

Menurut Tama ada pembelajaran baik dari sesi body image di setiap Transmen Camp yang mereka adakan. Citra tubuh yang sangat dipengaruhi tuntutan dan standar masyarakat seringkali membuat manusia terasing dari tubuhnya sendiri. Yang bisa muncul dalam berbagai bentuk seperti kebencian atau rasa jijik pada tubuh, tidak merawat tubuh atau sebaliknya; melakukan hal berlebihan dan mengabaikan rasa sakit yang disampaikan tubuh, serta lupa bersyukur dan berterimakasih pada tubuh. Salah satu fasilitator sesi body image Transmen Camp, Tia Setiyani selalu mengajak peserta untuk berbicara pada tubuhnya masing-masing. "Sebab transisi itu tidak mudah. Dan teman paling setia saat bertransisi, adalah tubuh kita sendiri," ujar Tama menirukan pernyataan Tia. Bicara pada tubuh atau refleksi dapat mengingatkan seseorang pada setiap capaian kecil yang telah ia raih. Orang seringkali lupa karena terlalu fokus mencapai tujuan atau mendengarkan orang lain. Harapannya, dengan mengingat serta mensyukuri setiap capaian, seseorang dapat lebih sabar dan menikmati proses selanjutnya, tanpa terasing dari tubuhnya sendiri.

Tabumania, dari pengalaman teman-teman transgender kita bisa belajar bahwa tidak ada yang salah memiliki citra tubuh, termasuk citra yang sesuai gambaran masyarakat. Selain itu tidak ada yang salah melakukan berbagai hal agar citra tubuh itu dapat tercapai. Namun, dalam setiap proses yang dilakukan, hal paling penting yaitu rajin berefleksi dan tentu saja: utamakan diri sendiri.

support from people around about gender transition

# data[].attributes.body
Gender transition is a process of changing from the gender identified according to their gender at birth to the desired gender. Of course this is not an easy thing to do because this includes a person's time, physical and medical. Many people are rejected by their families, social circles, and society because they are making the transition. This rejection can result in a person experiencing gender dysphoria (formerly known as' gender identity disorder) in which a person experiences stress and pressure as well as an inability to carry out daily social activities which reduce the quality of the person's mental health. One of them who received rejection was Dena Rachama or previously known as Renaldy Rachman, a former child singer in the 1990s. She admitted that her behavior as a woman began to appear since she was in junior high school. As a teenager, she was kicked out by her parents because her desire to become a woman was disapproved of. However, after all this time, the parents gave permission for their children to change sex to women because the mother could not stand it if the child felt tortured and 'trapped' in the body of a man named Renaldy. This makes him even more confident to have a shoe business that is sold in several elite shops in the modern trading center of Jakarta.
This shows that local support is very helpful in this gender transition process.

gender transition is a process of changing one gender to another gender. There are three aspects about gender transition,  such as  social transition, medical transition, legal transition. These transition include the characteristics and identity of the person. Social transition is the hardest part according to gender transition because, it took time to figure out how to express the authentic selves in a world with lot of rules about how to express their selves.
Drag queen or drag king is related to gender transition but it is know as a performance art, drag performance dress up as a gender that’s different from their own and they sing, dance.  Drag queens are men who perform as a woman, vice versa.
Drag is an art. Not an identity like gender transition.  With the presence of drag, normal kid could change their sexual orientation because, they introduce it as a culture. They also would assume that is okay for a man to dress up and behave like a woman.

Gender Transition is a process of changing gender that has aspects. the process of how society sees you by changing things like how you dress, gestures and other mannerisms. its very complicated because it's partly about expressing an internal sense of ourselves. then many transgender people decide to transition medically in order to allign their bodies. and changing your legal identity documents it called legal transition. it can include changing their name, legal sex also known as their gender maker. for some transgender people it is an important avenue for safety strategy because it protects transgender people from having their transgender status disclosed to others. it must be hard to express their selves because of gender transition is taboo.
There’s a Drag queens are mens who perform as a woman and Drag kings perform as men. Drag is an art. it is related to gender transition but we know as a performance art, dress up as a gender thats different from their own and they sing, dance. but not same as gender transition, its like normal kid change their sexual orientation because other comfortable ways, or about they culture. drag is a place where they can push back against the assumptions about gender identity and gender performance. it can makes people learn about how gender operates in the world by looking for places where they can feel free to express gender.

Drag is performance art. They dress up as a gender thats different from their own and then then they perform like sing, dance, lip sinc, or some other kind of creative performance.
Drag is whatever they want to be, they impersonating something other than themselves. It transform you into different world for a minute and show persona that you made up in your mind. There are two drags performance, which is drags queen and drags king.
Drags is a place for someone to express themselves or something different from themselves to the public.  Drags performance can mix masculine and feminine highlighting beautiful and have creative ways to express gender.  In my opinion, drags is a place for someone to express the art that is in him regarding gender.  Gender is very broad, and in my opinion it should not be limited because of masculine and feminine.  Gender freedom is displayed through this performance in comfortable ways.
Drags is different from gender transition. When drags is an art performance they dress up as different gender from their own, in the other hand transitioning is the process of changing the way you look and how people see and treat you so that you become the gender you feel on the inside. Gender transition have three different aspects : Social transition, Medical transition, and legal transition.
Social transition is the process changing how society see you by changing like the way we dress up, what name and pronounce you use, gesture, etc. Medical transition is changing our body like hormone therapy, feminization or masculinization procedures, etc. Legal transition is the process of changing your legal identity documents, like birth certificate, passports or visas, etc. It can include change legal name, legal sex, or both.
