I mean, there's a reason "throwing shade" started out as a drag/ballroom thing. Affected passive-aggressive camp bitchiness and snottiness is almost definitive of the culture. It's almost like this weird mirror of military culture in that respect.
That said, drag queens and ball walkers are very much of a different world from mainstream LGBT+ culture and gay male culture more particularly, but a lot of folks don't seem to get that. It's a culture of performance, and dramatised pretence is expected.

that's really not what bothers me, i find that quite entertaining
it's more that there's a particular way of talking about femininity and female bodies that i find kind of gross coming from people who identify as cismale (irrespective of fashion choices or sexual orientation)
i mean this is like 90% my middle-class upbringing and personal dysphoric neuroses rearing their head, i'm sure, but nonetheless i don't feel it's completely a knee-jerk prejudice
