    or even if they do fit neatly and they just don’t want to explain their specifics (because it can be wicked burdensome/gets old/folks want you to justify your identity)

      Drag can definitely understand why someone with an identity like drag’s wouldn’t broadcast it. A lot of people on the right wing feel enraged when they see someone with a weird identity, and they get the cause and effect mixed around and think the identity is designed to make them angry, so they call drag a troll. One guy even sexually harassed himself with an alt account and tried to convince people drag made the alt, and people believed it for a few months before he started using the same trick on everyone else he disagreed with.
