[en-noun]
1. [en] A man who does drag or crossdresses , or sometimes by extension a male-to-female transgender person.
2. * MAY 2017 Michael Connelly shares excerpt from The Late Show (see http://ew.com/books/2017/05/01/michael-connelly-late-show-renee-ballard/)
3. *: Ballard felt her phone vibrate in her hand and turned away from the nurse. She saw a return text from Mendez. She read his answer out loud to Jenkins. “‘Ramona Ramone, DRAGON . Real name Ramón Gutierrez. Had him in here a couple weeks back. Priors longer than his pre-op dick.’ Nice way of putting it.” “Considering his own dimensions,” Jenkins said. Drag queens, cross-dressers, and transgenders were all generally referred to as DRAGONS in vice. No distinctions were made. It wasn’t nice but it was accepted.
4. * OCTOBER 2017 Drag Star VIZIN is back with new single (see http://us.blastingnews.com/showbiz-tv/2017/10/drag-star-vizin-is-back-with-new-single-you-make-me-feel-mighty-real-002062363.html) _Blasting News_
5. *: My favorite part was probably the ‘de-dragging.’ Taking the DRAGON off (that’s what I call her) is always my favorite. In all honesty, the entire experience was amazing and I wouldn’t change it for the world. Being felt up by Michael Silas wasn’t bad either...
6. * DECEMBER 2017 Miss Lawrence as Miss Bruce, "Climax" _Star_ episode 21
7. *: Yes. Butt shots. Everybody can't afford lipo and fat transfers. Especially DRAGONS . So if they want to pay me top dollar to pump their ass up that's what I'm gonna do, and you've benefited from it.
