It's projection. Always has been.
It's a Halloween pic, but yeah everyone who's crossdressed at Halloween is queer. That's not offensive in any way.
This type of journalism is desperate and pathetic. Also patheticis the general acceptance of this shitty journalism by lazy readers looking for a "slam* rather than meaningful information.
Bingo. Crossdressing is not necessarily drag. Me and a bunch of my friends from my high school drama club crossdressed because we only had around two women in the club.
And this "Gotcha journalism" is pretty much repackaged populism. Don't give it headlines because someone crossdressed, give it headlines because it is an insult to the separation of powers and literally paves the way for a totalitarian regime to raise.
