00:10Your titties are kind of what sets you apart as a polished queen. Your everyday
00:15Brooklyn drag queen is gonna buy a bra and stuff gym socks in them. It gives you
00:20enough plush and enough pliability to kind of pull off an illusion correctly
00:25but they don't bounce, they don't jiggle and if you squeeze them they don't feel
00:30like real tits. So you've got to get you some actual silicone chicken cutlet
00:35replacement. Now they come in various degrees of niceness. You can get a chicken
00:42cutlet which is kind of made for a real woman which has a concave, it's a concave
00:48situation that's made just for augmenting a natural breast and if you
00:54want a really small titted look you can pull that off as a drag queen but the
00:59realty is the breast forms on the entire breasts made out of silicone to put on a
01:07completely flat male chest. Those are a little more expensive and they're fragile
01:22I saw my first drag queens when I was 14 years old at this week-long retreat for
01:30high school students about acceptance and loving others and but there were some drag
01:35queens and there were two of them and they were so fucking incredible I felt like I was in the
01:43presence of a superhero or like a Disney character that I really identified with
01:48or who I really wanted to be. It was really at that point when we were in a
01:56cabin late at night and one of them put their wigs on me and I did this like sexy
02:00pole dance for the first time I was 14 years old. The look was a mess. On some level
02:04that's when I knew it took me almost a decade after that to get around to it.
02:10When I performed I'm doing the same thing that I would do behind my locked
02:16bedroom door when I was eight, nine, ten years old. So really I've been doing the same
02:24thing that I do every night just not publicly.
02:34I don't see there being any problem with me identifying as a drag queen. I think it's a perfectly valid
02:43gender
02:44identity because I have a male body and I enjoy dressing like a woman. I have two
02:53different forms. I have one hundred percent and I have zero percent and that's what
03:00makes me a drag queen is that I'm either completely done up or I am in cut off
03:06short shorts and a tank top. It doesn't make me any less of a man being in drag and
03:10doesn't make me any less of a woman being out of drag. I think part of being a drag
03:16queen is realizing that gender is a completely made up illusion that for some
03:23reason everyone on earth has decided to buy into and can be manipulated
03:28completely at will. That's the thought that I have when I wake up in the morning.
03:33it's the way that I experience my life. And I don't really see anything, any reason
03:41why that's not a perfectly valid gender identity.
03:44After all you've been doing, you've got the scars, but I am, I want to thank you, cause you made
03:52me that my story.
04:12My upbringing was a lot of hiding. There was a whole lot of hiding in my upbringing.
04:16It was a, my bedroom door was locked whenever I could perform and performing was
04:23it really made my heart sing. I think that the reason that I love drag so much and
04:28the reason that I love being in drag is because it allows me to release a part of
04:34me I thought I had to keep locked inside of me forever. It is the most emancipating
04:42feeling in the entire world to overcome your own fear and your own denial of yourself.
04:51Ooh, how right are these brows tonight?
