Hello, In FRIENDS, is the character played by Kathleen Turner a drag Queen or transfemale? Reason I'm asking is because the show referred to Turner as a drag Queen who worked at a drag show. Turner's character is also referred to as gay when dating males. However, the following link says that Turner's character is actually transfemale, but was Perry's character who refused to call Turner's character ''mum'' that made people think Turner's character was a drag Queen. 11 actually pretty shocking things Friends couldn't get away with today As a note: Yes there are issues with FRIENDS, but the show wasn't marketed as an idelistic pro-everything way of living. It was marketed as a comedy (which breaks a lot of rules) that talks about how 20-30 year olds in 1990-2000s live their life. So just wondering as to refer to Turner's character as Charles or [what I am going to assume] Helena? [If you think it doesn't matter, I talk about friends * a lot * so I do need to get it right].
Being that they use a woman to play her indicates to me that the character is trans, has developed a body that can not easily be reversed.
Her name was Helena Handbasket and she referred to herself as gay. It seems pretty clear to me that she's a drag queen. It seems to me that the article is just trying to dig dirt.
