  Is it still called drag if ladies wear it?

    Yes, drag is just a very exaggerated fashion often expressing hyperfemininity (drag queen) or hypermasculinity (drag king), or sometimes just artistic exaggerated styles of any kind. The gender neutral term for people who participate is drag artists.

    Anyone of any sex or gender can wear any kind of drag and call themselves any of the above.

    That’s contested. Some prefer the term bio queen/king, but others just call it drag

      Bio king/queen is pretty controversial now as the term bio is considered transphobic.

        That tracks, last I’d heard some trans people were taking to using the term too, but that was years ago. I also only pay attention to drag the handful of times my friend does it.
