Drag Race All Stars winner Trinity the Tuck came out as trans non-binary in a raw, emotional social media post.
The drag queen, who first competed on season nine before jointly winningĀ All Stars 4, opened up about their gender identity on Trans Day of Visibility (31 March).
Trinity explained:Ā āYears ago after starting drag I seriously questioned how I identified with my gender.Ā
“Thatās why I altered my body starting at the age of 21 to look more feminine and also started hormone therapy for a short period.”
She explained that she stopped hormones “because I personally donāt know that I would be comfortable living as female with the way Iād physically look”.
āEveryone has their own journey I suppose,” the Drag Race star added.Ā
“Iāve spoke with many of my friends who are trans to get their thoughts and insight over the years.
āI still donāt know where my journey will take me but I am trans-NB. I wanted to share my feelings in hopes that others who felt like me would know they arenāt alone. Sending out love! I hope it finds you.ā
