Who is Peaches, Justine, Georgetta, Tanya and Esperanza from Stone Butch Blues and what is their importance?

These are basically men who dress as women - if they are gay, they are called drag queens - appear throughout the narrative. Drag queens go to the same bars where butches go. Even though they are the polar opposite of butches, the two groups stand up for each other. The queens can teach baby butches a thing or two about femme psychology. Non-cross-dressing gay men do not play a significant role in this narrative.
