LOL. I hear something similar from almost all the local crossdressers. Most seem to have to get on stage in a local gay bar to lip-sync some song in drag for 5 minutes at least once every 3 months so they can self-proclaim themselves as an "impersonator" or "performer" or "entertainer" while they're in denial to themselves or others that they're a crossdresser.
Here's a hint to the "performers": Anybody can prance & lip sync to a song! It requires NO talent! It also requires no talent to put on makeup & a dress. Most women have been doing it for centuries. And to be a guy that can pass as a girl, has more to do with their physical characteristics, than what they put on or any talent. Some guys can resemble a girl or pass as one even wearing boy clothes & no makeup. Others, even after going through treatments, a sex change, & spending hours with makeup, still look like a horse or John Wayne in a dress.
Meanwhile, it takes these "performers" all day or evening to put on their face & clothes for that 5 minute performance that happens once every 3 months, every month, or once a week. Their closets, drawers, & boxes are packed with women's clothes, they have many or even dozens of wigs, & several large cases of makeup.
But NO! They're not a crossdresser, they're an "entertainer".
