Sure, I’d be happy to explain in full detail.

I don’t like RuPaul because he regularly uses transphobic slurs and claims that the trans people who ask him to stop just have bruised egos.

I don’t like RuPaul because he claims that “no one has ever said the word tr*nny in a derogatory sense.”

I don’t like RuPaul because he stated on-air that he believes the only difference between men in drag and trans women is “About twenty-five thousand dollars and a good surgeon.”

I don’t like RuPaul because he had to be pressured by his network in order to discontinue a game on his show where his contestants attempted to clock drag queens the way they do trans women by labeling them with the s-slur.

I don’t like the RuPaul because he proudly defended Shirley Q. Liquor, a drag queen who performs in literal blackface. He said Liquor is “not racist” and “Critics who think Shirley Q. Liquor is offensive are idiots.”

I don’t like the show because one of its most popular contestants created a YouTube video where he “appeared to shoot and kill a trans woman (caricatured as having a wig and mustache) for objecting to certain language used by drag queens.” (This link is a step removed, as I’m not comfortable linking my followers directly to that kind of violence.)

So if I can sum that up, I “don’t like” RuPaul because he fucking hates me and my community.

well shit
