The usual argument is along the lines of "if a cis guy can wear makeup or do drag and just be thought of a feminine man, why can't a trans man wear makeup or do drag without being told he's really a woman".
There was a trans man competing on the last season of drag race who made it to the final, and it provoked a lot of that discussion. Here "he" is as Paris Hilton
Most of the controversy surrounding post-op trans women and trans men (biological females) performing on Drag Race is that RuPaul himself stated it gave them an ''unfair advantage'' in the competition. I think he just has this preconcieved notion that only gay men should do drag and nothing else, but that's my personal opinion.

Of course RuPaul was immensely shat on for this. He ended up apologizing, but the damage was already done. A lot of drag performers work side by side with gender non-conforming people, male and female, so this really tainted the public image of RPDR, as well as RuPaul's status as the queen of drag.
Them including a trans man and now a cisgender female is a PR move and nothing more. I doubt RuPaul has genuinely changed his stance on anyone other than gay men being able to do drag. This dude is 60 years old.
