Usage notes

• (LGBT): The term can be either derogatory or a self-identification. (Compare nigger.)
• (LGBT): Some of the people who were historically (in the late 1960s and 1970s) described as “queens” or “drag queens” or “street queens” are now sometimes considered transgender, especially when their gender identity is female or non-binary/genderqueer rather than male. Some people, like Sylvia Rivera, self-identified as both a “transgender person” and a “street queen”. Drag queens, too, can have any gender identity.

• (female monarch): queen regnant, Regina (the reigning queen, formal)
• (wife of a king): queen consort, Regina (the reigning queen, formal)
