From Middle English quene, queen, cwen, from Old English cw?n (“queen”), from Proto-West Germanic *kw?ni, from Proto-Germanic *kw?niz (“woman”), from Proto-Indo-European *g?énh?s (“woman”). Cognate with Scots queen, wheen (“queen”), Old Saxon qu?n ("wife"; > Middle Low German quene (“elderly woman”)), Dutch kween (“woman past child-bearing age”), Swedish kvinna (“woman”), Danish kvinde (“woman”), Icelandic kvon (“wife”), Gothic ???????????????? (q?ns, “wife”), Norwegian dialectal kvån (“wife”). Related to Old English cwene (“woman; female serf, quean”), see quean.

Usage notes
- (LGBT): The term can be either derogatory or a self-identification. (Compare nigger.)
- (LGBT): Some of the people who were historically (in the late 1960s and 1970s) described as "queens" or "drag queens" or "street queens" are now sometimes considered transgender, especially when their gender identity is female or non-binary/genderqueer rather than male. Some people, like Sylvia Rivera, self-identified as both a "transgender person" and a "street queen". Drag queens, too, can have any gender identity.
