What about RuPaul? Do drag queens not technically count? These new fangled labels are dumb, IMO. Transvestite was simpler and not confusing.

Also if you're putting on fictional characters you could include Mr./Mrs. Garrison from South Park.

Well Grayson Perry is a transvestite but not transgender, so there's a distinction. A Drag Queen is usually transvestite only for their career, not necessarily as a general lifestyle. Dorothy Lawrence was only a facultative transvestite to be taken more seriously by the military, but we don't know enough about Joan of Arc to make that distinction. Labels can be very inane, but it is still important to distinguish gender expression from gender identity. x
