"drag kings are boring, they just look like normal guys." this is not true for all drag kings, but it is only boring to you because you have failed to realize that manhood and masculinity also require constant over-performance around the clock, especially with strangers you don't even plan on getting to know.
these things look "normal and dull" to certain folks because they haven't had to live through what it's like to have to literally perform manhood for every single person you meet, because it's expected of you to be stoic, strong, and "manly," and a lot of that is reflected in clothing and personal grooming as well. our society has such a rigid view of manhood that there is basically no wiggle room for personal expression in interests and activities that are not traditionally "manly". men are told they are not men if they do not uphold these traits.
this is a performance.
gender is a performance no matter what you identify as. men and mascs have to over-perform manhood as well, just as women have to, trans or cis.

The cat stared / «You are the wolf, indeed. But is he the snake?»
«Am I wrong, then?» howled the wolf / «Am I wrong?»
The snake did not reply / The snake wasn't there
«Am I wrong?» howled the wolf / «Wrong, again?»

anyone of any identity can do drag as any type of performer they want. you don't have to be a man to be a drag queen, or a woman to be a drag king. you can do whatever you want, drag is an art form about expression, freedom, satire, creativity, joy, fun, and provoking thought. do what makes your little heart sing
