Retired, British award winning drag artist after 20 years of service ๐ซก...
I still DJ (Premillenial Party Music).
Proudly woke, the opposite of asleep.
Can women be drag queens? ๐
In two weeks, I celebrate 18 years of being paid to tit about in a wig.
So yes. Yes they can.
End of discussion.

When Drag Race girls write lyrics...
I'm fierce
I'm amazing
Look at me
Yes, I'm the best
Better than the rest
Sickening bitch
I'm coming through
I slay, all day
Yes crown me
Just me, me, me

Women who called out men abusing their power and were vilified for it.
Fuck the patriarchy.
Fuck powerful men being able to get away with anything.
Teach boys empathy and consent.
Enough.
Dear Trans chums. My heart goes out to you all right now.
JK Rowling and her Army of Trolls are bullies. And bullies are deeply insecure. It's rather pathetic.
Their hate is loud and noisy right now but you've got allies out here who adore you for living authentically.

The Cock Destroyers were a cultural reset for the the guys, girlies and non binary friends.
Sex positive with oodles of camp.
Beyond the memes, she was clearly a sweet soul who needed and deserved love.

I was a moody teenager into raving when
#Gladiators
first came around, still loved it. We'd have picky tea and trifle.
So I've made myself one for the reboot. (Yes, it's in a Pyrex jug. No, I don't have a proper bowl. Yes, I'm working class).
There's no cash prizes for Drag Race UK (just exposure).
Klub Kids monopolised the only way a lot of alumni can earn and aren't paying them. Grim.
Greed is what happens when art forms become big business.
Performers should be
@EquityUK
members.
Get them on it. Get paid.

is handy for blocking gender fascists who don't know that puberty blockers have been used by cis (as well as trans) people, safely, for quite some time now.
They don't like facts, so not worth engaging with their hate.
Block and move on babe ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Over 18 years ago I became a drag queen (without a peen).
Feminism had done wonders for women but over the top glamour had been sidelined. Drag queens kept it alive but unfortunately their mouths were full of misogyny.
My intention was to reclaim over the top, heightened camp
Baffling that folk get so disgruntled and angry by someone else's gender. It's their business, not yours. Do shut up. Also shame that people are expected to choose one or other, gender isn't black and white

deserves her place on the show ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
She clearly knows her camp and herstory (or would you prefer yet another twink who can paint but has no oomph?)
My distaste for what Drag Race has become isn't new, but the rushed production of S3 is abysmal.
Casting young, inexperienced queens to pour their trauma then expecting expensive and unique gowns DURING A BLOODY PANDEMIC is bullying.
Those poor kids ๐ซ
#georgemichaelouted
is a stark reminder how vulgar the media treated gay men in the 80/90s. Same is happening now for trans people ๐
I met George once (I'm in one of his videos) and regret not thanking him for his response to the cruising hysteria.
It helped me come out ๐ฅณ
Dear

bigots.
Where do you expect trans women to go?
Round them up and force them wear pink triangles?
Sounds familiar... y'daft fascists.
Trans women have always existed and just want to exist in peace.
Leave them be.
Signed an AFAB woman.
A reminder for any misogynists who wants to come for

We've been here forever. You've just had your head planted up Rude Paul's arse.

Drag isn't a cartoon hourglass silhouette.
Drag isn't huge heels.
Drag is putting on a good show.
A fierce look is wonderful to look at for a minute but once they've taken that in, the audience wants entertaining.

you keep doing you bab ๐

I'm sorry the bots and deeply unhappy humans found the need spew their bile over your lived experience.
Your perspective is valid. Have a marvellous weekend ๐
When I see Meghan Markle trending, I know before opening it's going to full of ignorant fuckery.
A stark reminder how racist the UK is ๐
Grow up you bully bigots. Save that energy for the Royal Nonce.
#MeghanMarkleExposed
Drag is for everyone. Wether you lean towards hyper male, female or somewhere inbetween, it's expression, it's an art form and my goodness it's fun!
Cis men have been the gatekeepers of drag for so long. It's time to judge art on ability, not what's in someone's knickers ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
I'm a 46 year old, single, childless woman who's spent the past 20 years performing as a drag queen.
Conservative men loathe women like Ms Handler and I because they can't control us.
We're independent, educated and having a lovely time without them.
Stay mad misogynists ๐โโ๏ธ
When a middle aged man attempted to molest me at 7, I didn't tell anyone because I didn't think anyone would believe me.
I wish I'd been taught my strength and power earlier.
Girls and women need to learn their worth. We're not pliant handmaids to the patriarchy.
What would the world look like if girls were taught they were volcanoes, whose eruptions were a thing of beauty, a power to behold and a force not to be trifled with?
I look at the importance of nurturing the pilot light of anger all girls are born with.

Drag has been gentrified. Where the perfect "sex doll" look is frequently favoured over personality and talent.

So what of those who spent their entire school life bullied by girls?
Or every time they've tried to create lady friendships, always stabbed in the back?

I'm a fierce, strong woman but have been molested, grabbed, followed, threatened, r*ped and punched in the face, by men, since the age of 7.

Did you have her CV at 20?
Didn't think so.
Well this has got lively...

Dear Gender Critical bores.
Trans people have existed in every culture for thousands of years. Being trans isn't new nor a fad.
All that's new is their visibility and representation. So be a decent human and don't attack other humans who just want to live in peace.
Thanks
Fascinating when LGBTQ+ venues still don't book diversity.
I'm the first AFAB queen to perform a full show at

I loathe uniformity or that drag/women should be sexy.
I'm a non binary woman with a huge stomach, no hips or arse.
No high heels as I've got Ehlers Danlos syndrome. Dislocation isn't fun.
I've been doing this for 17 years because I do my best to put on a good show ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
I always get happy tears when I see LGBTQ+ people represented positively on TV.

Joe Lycett used his own money. ยฃ10k for a brilliant PR campaign, highlighting hideous human rights in Qatar is cheap.
David Beckham has a combined net worth of $450 million. He doesn't need the money.
Be angry at David's ignorance and ego, not Joe.
to the female body. I wanted folks to question gender binaries, to look beyond the end of their nose and to celebrate women being camp! As a kid, I watched Victor/Victoria on a loop. If Julie Andrews can be a drag queen, so can I!

Watching an entitled, toxic, manipulative, misogynistic boy trying to bed a woman with emotional intelligence so he can meet Michael Owen isn't entertainment.
I hope Gemma's Mum disapproves. She deserves more.
All the girls do!
To the fucknuts in my replies, you're in a hate cult.
Amazing how you're only obsessed with trans women.
So you're OK with these hotties in women's spaces?
Stay mad and unhappy. Trans people have always existed and always will do. No amount of bullying will change that.
Been accused of cultural appropriation. Had every body part grabbed. Been punched in the face.
But in 18 years of pushbacks and continually having to explain myself, I'm still here. Because I believe in what I'm doing. I love entertaining people and I'm bloody good at it.
Saw Kelis, wandering around and vibing to a hippy with a guitar in the Green Fields at Glastonbury 2000.
I thought she was the coolest woman I'd ever seen.
The Neptune's fucked over but those first three albums are pure fire.
Still cool as fuck ๐

Yep, my lad gets my full attention.
I feel sad for the dogs aimlessly wandering while their owner quacks loudly on their phone about their boring lives.
The love for Rylan is a beautiful thing to see.
Bona fide national treasure.
Just an absolute dear.
The mocking of Laurence Fox is a beautiful thing to see.
Bona fide national disgrace. Just an absolute dong.
Everything I've learned has been by doing. I learned the history of drag, music hall, club culture, comedy, cabaret, panto, musicals and classic Hollywood.
I've had gigs cancel when they've realised I don't have a penis. Looked over and ignored.

After nearly 27 hours behind closed doors over the last four days, the 12 person jury found him NOT GUILTY on all charges.
When trial started, he also faced curfew violation and gun possession by a minor. Both dismissed in trial.

Will appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court at a later date.
As much as I'd love the money and opportunities that comes with being a Ru Girl, it's become a vulgar institution that trades on queer trauma. Where looking like a doll is valued higher than talent.
@fesshole
The family places, no. They just like being in the buff.
As a single woman, I've been to a few nudey places but you end up getting chased around by the Zombie Wanking Squad. All I want to do is sit in the sun with a spliff.

<Old queen enters the chat>
Not so long ago it was used amongst queens, trans and queer people as a term of endearment. We used it with love, amongst ourselves.
It's a word that became weaponised as a negative.
So we dropped it.
Because we chose to evolve.
The end.
Just had a TERF/Gender Critical blocking spree with
