He’s written in his autobiography, which was published in 1995: "You can call me he. You can call me she. You can call me Regis and Kathie Lee; I don’t care! Just as long as you call me.
Guys legitimate questions shouldn’t be down voted. They are a drag queen and not everyone is going to know.
New people will ask the same questions over and over. You can’t just downvote it cause you are tired of answering.
Also the answer, is mostly He/Him, but while in drag She/Her is more appropriate. But also you use whatever, drag can be tricky and few mind and will say so.
Edit: alright wasn’t so legitimate, should have read the name, but you got to at least give it try first. And trolls get less of you don’t give them their flagellation.
Google sucks and sometimes conversations are dumb questions. But also I really didn’t read either until like the second message. I try not to pre-emptive stalk and just try to converse.
A drag queen is an entertainer and drag is an art form. Some are cis men, some are trans women, some are trans men, some are non-binary people and some are cis women. The vast majority are queer, but some are straight people do drag too. So basically anyone can do drag, but the majority are queer cis men.
Also transvestite is an archaic term and is mostly offensive/derogatory.
Edit: I should have also said the “She-mail” thing was heavily criticized by former contestants as well, which was probably an additional factor that made the show change the name
Say you really liked the color green and punching baddies and wanted to show everyone else that green was awesome and punching baddies was cool too.
So you buy a green suit, get a giant green tiger car, and even have everyone just call you “Green Ranger” while you are in the suit, just to make sure everyone knows you are committed and sell the character. And it’s fun and people clap for you because it’s cool to see a performer doing the thing they enjoy.
So instead of dressing in primary colors and punching underpaid stunt actors in latex, they dress up as empowered women and stick to character to entertain. Mostly. There are exceptions of course, you could also be a silly side character robot or a floating face but that’s getting into other topics.
Ok but, we should refer to them as he or she?

Questions that can be googled easily should be downvoted.
But also, look at their username, and other comments. It was not a legitimate question.

Drag queen it’s like a fancy terminology for transvestite?
Or they are cis men dressing like women but still being straight?

Serious question: is transvestite derogatory in its use in The Rocky Horror Picture Show?
No, not at the time it was made, but the modern LGBTQIA+ lexicon has moved on from it
Fun fact: On Drag Race, Ru used to give messages to the contestants and called it “She-mail”, but they (reluctantly) stopped calling it that due to heavy viewer criticism

Mostly for show. Like committing to being a power ranger.
Like being a man/woman and dressing as a woman/man for social validation?? To entertain people??
Yup. Exactly like a power ranger.

Then I will say still a “He”
That’s great! Still now aware of the show.
The exit is on the left and you have a great day Sir/Madam.
Thx I will 👍👍
That’s Miss Mama Ru to you.
