Correction 🥲 1. Eureka is on Season 9&10 not 10&11 2. Hence, there are three seasons with no trans: Season 1, Season 7 and Season 11. 3. Jinkx Monsoon should be included in the list. 4. Kelly Mantle should also be included in the list.

[@lucior.7565]

Thank you for acknowledging Jinkx!

[@candice_ecidnac]

Kelly Mantle may be missing from the list. She's identified herself as a transwoman before but also identifies as transfemme nonbinary and gender fluid. Edit: y'all, I did not ask Kelly if she was trans; I'm just going off her comments earlier. But it does seem she no longer calls herself a transwoman, and recently was submitted for an award under both male and female. Maybe she's settled on nonbinary gender fluid, or maybe it's an ongoing journey. "I don't know her personally, mother darling"

[@sebastianverin953]

Valentina revelead that she is non-binary female "kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKDSZWOle9CGl6Msi=m7eVNiPd6xLUtyhT=593s"

[@lucior.7565]

@@candice_ecidnac I don't think she identifies as trans

[@candice_ecidnac]

@@lucior.7565 she has called herself a "lesbian trans gay woman" (which is redundant) and dresses female presenting during the day, but has been credited as gender fluid and nonbinary. She also had facial feminizing surgery. So she could be considered trans because she has identified as that before, like transgender nonbinary.

[@nikkitrabucho2534]

This feels unbalanced. So much Trans representation and Joey Jay being the first and only gay contestant.

[@citrinethecorgi]

I genuinely did not know most of these queens who came out as trans. even from the newer seasons, very happy for all of them! i really hope the show embraces more trans queens in future seasons and doesnt only limit it to one trans queen a season (obv s14 is the exception with every queen coming out before the finale aired)

[@JessNukethedangthing]

Kenya Olivera quit drag in 2016 because she was doing a gig at The Pulse in Orlando on that tragic night. I know that it’s your video and you can put in whatever you want, but I think it’s worth remembering those who lost their lives that night and that we can never forget.

[@_DROM_]

Wasn't Detox there too? Or was it a friend of hers? 🤔

[@ashleydowney1222]

​​@@_DROM_ It was Cynthia Lee Fontaine. And Trinity the Tuck was a former Miss Pulse. And Trinity the Tuck had performed the week before the shooting. Cynthia Lee Fontaine was supposed to perform the night of the shooting. But she had to reschedule due to being in Houston at the time. And her friend Martin died at Pulse.

[@_DROM_]

@@ashleydowney1222 I had to watch the Werk series again. It was Detox's friend who was there. I thought it was her. Didn't know about Cynthia.

[@robthenewb3577]

I believe Kelly Mantle from Season 6 spoke about being trans on the Trixie & Katya Podcast The Bald and Beautiful

[@lun4rr_]

For season 16 Morphine identified themselves as Non-binary in one of the episodes!

[@jarredah]

Just because somebody says they are “non-binary” doesn’t mean they are trans. That’s just words…

[@anniee5487]

there are a ton more queens that are non-binary or genderfluid. i think they were only talking about binary trans people in this video

[@jarredah]

@@anniee5487 Non-binary doesn’t mean you’re trans. Those people are just trying to inject themselves under an umbrella they don’t fit in.

[@ppermoons]

@@jarredah but non-binary is part of the transgender umbrella, you don't need to be trans male or trans female (so *binary* trans) to be consider transgender

[@jarredah]

@@ppermoons No it is not part of the trans umbrella. They sure would love to be tho. Non binary, they/them pronouns….that’s a bunch of BS. If gender isn’t binary, how come you transition between male and female (TWO GENDERS, ALSO KNOWN AS BINARY)… if your body parts don’t determine your gender, how come cutting them off affirms it? So many contradictions that don’t make a lick of sense. Non binary people want to exist under the trans umbrella so that they have a label and feel like they belong to a community. REAL trans people don’t agree with that ish. Anybody can just say they are “non-binary”, that does not make them trans.

[@kidkytes6233]

"Adore Delano, she looks stunning. Laganja Estranja, looks sickening. MEANWHILE Gia Gun..." c'mon scripts do a better job than that unless you're really just an AI generated channel.

[@itsyourgrillhere6401]

It was so shady and for what 😭

[@legallycritter4984]

Didn't monica vome out during filming, like whej she was in the bottom she said she's trans.

[@Commonsenseisntcommon666]

Literally!

[@TheDopekitty]

Yup

[@theophilepetit6223]

You mainly mentioned queens that have gone through medical transition, but lots of them also came out as non-binary or genderqueer : Sasha Velour, Shea, Monét, Jinkx, Kelly, Bob, Morphine, Trinity the Tuck,...

[@bellabennett5706]

of the s16 queens, theres also sapphira who is nonbinary! also morphine just did a look wearing a butterfly with the colors of the trans flag!

[@scrappydeux]

Also it sucks that some girls that “came out” after the show really were trans the whole time but back then it was said that you’d be more likely to get on if you concealed that.

[@mech3384]

Kornbread was so smart (In terms of making reality TV) for her coming out plan. I'm just saying but had she made it to the finale and came out to her younger-self, that'd have been the best moment of the season.

[@spookelle]

Hearing that made me cry because that would've been such an iconic and heartwarming moment. Damn you Kornbread's ankle

[@helenaagalenea3231]

[@laddup3698]

There are some mistakes, like monica beverly hills who came out on an episode, and kylie who came out during the season 2 reunion. Also non binary ppl are included in the trans umbrella, but i do understand that this is a trans woman tally up video

[@branluck5856]

No,they are not the same . Most of the trans people will tell that “non binary “ (made up term) are certainly not the same as trans people.

'Non binary people are included under the trans umbrella' That's interesting. I think a lot of trans people would disagree with that.

Non binary contestants are technically also trans, and that includes Sasha Velour, and maybe others that I'm not remembering now. (Trans, because they don't identify with their assigned gender at birth. Though some won't feel like they fit under the umbrella, some do.)
