I support Cathii... Drag Queens are men dressed as women, but whom usually live and identify as men in normal life. I'm probably going to get shot for this but I'm TS and can speak from my experience so far...
A little insight which may help you understand "us" more...
There are 2 types of TS, those that identify as TG/TS and those who seek to identify solely as their desired gender... such as in my case. TG/TS seek to change their physical appearance to match their desired or correct gender and sex. This can be done through the use of hormones and surgery. Personally, I feel there is a "label" or "stereotype" attributed to TG/TS in terms of how we're meant to look or act, where we're meant to socialize and such.
Depending on where a person may be in their TG/TS journey, they may feel depressed, isolated, unattractive... far from seeking a relationship or being sexual... However, on the other hand they may be far enough along to have overcome these feelings... and this is where I must hand over to someone else...
From my experience, I have attempted to live life in the body I was assigned at birth and the subsequent role placed upon me... but alas, I could not maintain it... losing my long-term partner and fiancee, house and so on.
I'm all up for meeting new friends, others in my position and so forth... but in terms of relationships of a sexual or romantic manner... unfortunately not at this stage...
