it was a part of myself that was an essential part of over the years, especially when i went on rupaul's doing drag professionally, it really became melded with my personality. i think for a lot of drag queens in particular, when they do drag, their persona is a reimagined version of themselves. for me, it was very much just me. you know? it was a full rotation -- representation of what i didn't change who i was on the inside or what i was embodying when i did dragon. i was doing myself with a little more glitter on. when i started to do drag on a regular basis, this is when i realized it was more than just a performance, but was part of who i was. it was in the back room at the stud, at the white horse, at the midnight sun, that i really got to know the trans women who are part of the drag scene. many of them, before i knew i was trans were telling me i was trans. there was another drag queen by the name of jupiter. i remember specifically being backstage and asking me, are you pickling? to her, that meant are you on the hormones? i remember being like, i don't know why she keeps asking

these guys were wearing wigs way before rupaul race. how did the white house skate by on this? how long before we change that name? you see, the rotunda holds all the major documents all written by dead white men. all you see is skin color and gender, it will piss you off. that sucks. what do you expect. going to the rotunda and expecting people of color to be credited for bill of rights -- it's like me going to the wnb in search of a wife. [laughter] they are twice my height. it's not going to work out. or it's like you going to cnn looking for an honest journalist. the task force suggest tips, however, to reimagine the rotunda including staging dance or performance art in the space that invites dialogue about the ways that the united states has the founding era. let's address the idea that adding performing arts makes it better. that suggestion is pretty insulting to people of color. to assume they can only contribute the crappiest of art, which is performance arts, when white liberals have no solution, they always turn to performance arts. which is really just improvizationa

a cofounder of the transgender cultural district who competed in rupaul's drag race and is making politicalrans-chair of the same cisco democratic >> there are a lot of people afraid of what it means to be trans because they don't know people in their lives. but first of all they probably do know some but they don't know they are trans. in general folks are not as familiar with this community. it's not part of their everyday lives. and what i want to tell those people, is how beautiful this life can be. >> my name is honey mahogany. i use she pronouns. i grep in san francisco. when it first came out i was in los angeles. i was there of southern california's underground. but interestingly, i think what pushed me to come out all the way was drag. i was in drag for the first time for friends film and when i did that, i was sort of surprised by how quickly i took to it. and maybe i wasn't surprised because i think dressing feminine lee and putting on women's clothing or shoes, that was something that i do always wanted to do. and that i couldn't do. as a kid i would play dress up at daycare. an

she ended up -- so then i ended up with outfits on rupaul's drag race. being a trans woman. >> right. so i feel like when you are a drag queen, it is more of an art form. it is more than expression. when you are being a woman, it is a lifestyle. you know? it is something that you wake up and you do every single day. it is who you are. >> it is not a constant. >> they're not selling it at party city. >> yeah. or you wake up every day as a woman. >> you wake up every day in your own skin. i'm thankful that my mother is so proud of the person i have become, too. >> have you two always been so close? >> yes. yes, always. >> even more so after i became trans, to be honest. >> there is a narrative out there that the black community is more homophobic than other communities. the assumption is a southern mom like yourself would not accept a transgender child. >> how do i not accept it is the question? the question is not how do i accept it. how would i not accept my child? >> that's the better question. >> that birth certificate reads me as the mother. this is a
