MEL,
I think it used to be, and in some segments of society still is, a one-size-fits-all term. So, the person I met wasn't a drag queen, but a term I hadn't heard of yet. Sometimes, trying to put the past into the present w/ terminology isn't in sync.
In fact, I cannot say that any or many of the t-girls on this site are drag queens.
