Oh boy. This is all kinda complex and definitions vary, but very generally:
What Daniel Hilliard does in the movie is technically “drag” in the loosest sense of the term, but he’s definitely not a “drag queen”. That is a very specific type of gender-bending performance art. A queen is a persona that is typically defined by their exaggeration and/or subversion of gender norms.
What Daniel does is merely playing a female role, and that involves cross dressing. It’s a job. He’s not out to say anything about gender or play with any social conventions. It’s just acting.
