Funny thing about that.
Drag shows during the war provided a space for community among LGBTQ+ people, and opportunity to let go of gender norms. Throughout WWII the Army Special Services Branch would set up shows to entertain military personnel. Since many spaces during the war were gender separated, most of these theatrical productions included elements of female impersonation.
