so, i made it across the u.s. / canadian border again without having a “men with guns” induced anxiety attack. coming back into the states, everyone has to get off and be interviewed, so i felt more at ease. at least i wasn’t the only one. here is the abbreviated version of my interview with the border police (for those of you who speak german, dry cleaning = reinigungs):

him: what was the purpose of your trip?
me: i attended a conference.
him: what kind of conference?
me: the international drag king extravaganza.
him: a dry cleaning conference?
me: drag king. an international drag king conference.
him: international dry cleaning?
me: drag king.
him: drag cleaning?
me: drag kings. biological females performing as men.
him: so, they are biological females performing as men?
me: yes. there are also biological males performing as men in that same style. they are called bio kings, but perhaps that’s too complicated…
him: no, that’s cool (i.e. not a problem). i’m just trying to find out what kind of conference you attended. i’ll just write down “conference”.
