      July 22, 2024 at 12:41 pm

      @Sareaesque  It is hard to tell because this person switches from one gender to the other. This type of behavior isn’t acceptable in society. At least in my opinion.

    • @Sareaesque

      July 22, 2024 at 12:46 pm

      @mattstone8878 it is perfectly acceptable, they are a man who has a consistent character they perform as, the character just happen to be a woman. He is still a man. It’s no different to any other performance.

    When I was a kid, I had no heroes. I had no mentors or guides or people I really looked up to. Then I saw you, and that changed. I’ve admired you ever since because you seem to be so unapologetically and authentically yourself. That really hit hard for me as an overweight immigrant kid growing up in LA in the 90’s. ❤

    Rupaul is such an inspiration to me!! (To most of the gay/drag community, actually)
