Non-performing drag kings

or maybe it's just awkward lingo?

my partner has expressed discomfort with being perceived as a drag king when he dresses in masculine ways in his everyday life (especially since he doesn't pass and is frequently mis-gendered...and is actually a drag queen).

i have seen some people use the term drag king (usually because they weren't sure or comfortable with what word to use in what context) to refer to butches. sometimes it was because they were not familiar with drag culture or b/f culture.
