Check out my reaction to Bojack Horseman: • DOCTOR REACTS TO BOJAC...
It's a Sin reviews: • DOCTOR REACTS TO IT'S ...
This Doctor Reacts video is looking at mental health clips from Rupaul's Drag Race that covers everything from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, EDs, HIV and so much more. I know people can have a love/hate relationship with this show but overall, its been such a force for good in terms of putting queer culture on the main stage and bringing conversations about equality to the front, which in this video focuses on mental health and mental illness in the LGBTQ+ community.
If there's any other scenes or moments you find that you want me to have a look then leave links in the comments or DM me on instagram. Some of these are absolutely brilliant!

The Ru in 1988 clip-she's almost unrecognizable to me both physically and energetically. She was using drugs and alcohol at the time-i think Ru got clean and sober in the mid 90s. I think that might be a big part of what changed for her in the following decade. Thanks for for the acknowledgement of the trauma of the AIDS crisis as well. I tested Poz in 1987 at the age of 23. I am still standing but there are many friends and partners who are long gone 😢
I’m so sorry to hear about all the losses and grieving you’ve gone through.
May all their Souls Rest In Peace, smiling at you and their loved ones from Heaven. 🙏🏾🕊️
Sorry for your loss 😢. It's good to hear you're still hanging on strong. Also, is it just me or does Ru's voice in that 1988 clip kinda sound like Shangela's a bit?
just so you’re aware, the one where ru is wearing the green dress is a clip of her from season 2 of drag race when James (formerly known as tyra) won, and the queen having a panic attack in the clip was juice boxx from canadas drag race season 1. i don’t really understand why the creator of the clip mashed the two together LMAO
same. don't know why. maybe they didn't want t use the tyra one cause of everything
They learned from early untucked seasons editing lol
Juice boxx from CDR 1 tho 😅
@@Anonymous-bp8hg whoops i got caught up typing drag race season 2 lmao
Yeah, and the whole "does she need the bag" as in, barf bag… I see them putting a BLANKET over Juice Boxx. I don’t see no bag. So the mashup doesn’t even work.
i often think back to Katya talking to and seeking solace in Miss Fame about struggling with sobriety and the pull of addiction especially from the stress of the competition during season 7.
As someone who's recovering from addictive behaviour i think its an important conversation and representation
I'm glad they addressed the connection between Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and depression. I was diagnosed with EDS 7 years ago. My body is slowly breaking down due to faulty connective tissue and I've lost the ability to do a lot of things I used to enjoy. I remember the day that I realized I can no longer wear high heels. I'm still grieving that loss. So I truly appreciate hearing that someone else has experienced the same and is willing to share it with the world.
They tested me for it because of my joints, and I have the joints of it but not the disorder itself. But I got MS. I used to do a little modeling, and the moment I lost the ability to wear heels kinda broke me. Cuz I'm super short, so no pictures looked right if I wasn't in them. Of course my problems are much worse now, but I kept those heels I couldn't wear for years.

God, I love Yvie Oddly.
Honestly never realised how important drag race was to my understanding of mental health. I struggle still to this day but mainly starting at about 13, and was so confused but hearing these queens talk so openly about their issues when I was 16 or so really helped me so much
Watching Drag Race all these years has made me a better human. I was ok before but I'm so much wiser now. How can you listen to their stories and not feel just crushed by the weight of what some of them have endured.
Thr way I'm feeling about the last clip is that Ru is being honest and real. I appreciate that.
The first clip shows the power of talking. Sometimes it just takes one person to speak up about their struggles, and that gives others the courage to share too.
I appreciate you shining a light on how important this show is.
I'd love to hear your take on the reunion episode with the Vixen. There is so much going on there and I think you'd have some really good insight into how it was handled, what was happening, and why it went the way it did?
I think there was more going on than was shown.
8:36 If only The Doctor (Gatwa) had known that all he had to do was make the Maestro go to sleep, he could have beaten them so much easier.
(Jinkx plays the God of Music "the Maestro" on Doctor Who now for those who don't get the joke).
Jinkx was pretty much unrecognisable. But her voice gave her away!
Maestro was such a great character, she played them SO well.
The sad thing is that on Canada’s drag race the judges were SO harsh to were one of the queens had an anxiety attack on stage. Rupaul wasnt a judge but why would u hire those people? Or even keep them on the show after what they did. They are way too harsh for one and for two they always pick the worst outfits to win. Even the queens are like “really? My outfit…?” They are so fake and everything its terrible.
Well, we have to keep in mind that it was the first season. It has gotten better. At least Brooklynn Hytes has gotten really good. The others are still at least... questionable.
@@max_sch4462 they need to have (yes drag queens up there as judges) but dont have these random people as judges. The one judge(i think its jordan something) had a convo with jimbo and jimbo said “we didnt have enough time to do much of anything” and he straight up told jimbo that her look wasnt good and everyone has the same amount of time so “use it better next time”…WHAT who says that.
@@max_sch4462 the sad part is jimbo’s look was the BEST one.
@@RawTimee I think you mean Jeffrey. Yeah, he is straight up terrible. And most people agree on that. I don't know why he is still there.
@@max_sch4462 what do you mean JBC was only on one season of Canada, I thought. Did he come back post Canada vs the world?
Jinx’s Little Edie in the background!! Love your background and this video so much 🫶🏻🫶🏻 so happy you were able to make a video about drag race (and release it during pride month!) ❤️
It is quite obvious that RuPaul has spent a good many of her years in therapy. As I have myself. The things that she teaches us are basically DBT and CBT.
Its call3d life. He was a blk gay man growing up in the 60/s and 70s. He adapted and evolved
@@octaviasedden334 so, you have experienced both DBT and CBT correct? The “3“ in the word ‘called’ makes me a little suspicious. So do people who type like they text on their cell phones.
The footage of Ru in her club kid days is so jarring. I know a bit about that time in New York and it was *messy*. Anyway, in terms of mental health/ illness moments, one very important queen I think is missing is Miz Cracker. There weren't that many in detail moments where she discusses it, but she does talk about her experience with BPD. I love her for it.
Love your content!
A BPD mental health peer educator/ supporter x
I think Pandora Boxx opening up about her depression and attempt to end her life was the first time a mental health issue was mentioned on Drag Race. It meant a lot to me
Gottmik from S13 was such a role model to me in my transition, and I don’t believe I would’ve come out without her sharing her story. She helped me understand myself better at a time where I had just started questioning everything I thought I was.
It was so impactful for me when she talked about experiencing gender dysphoria in Episode 2, and throughout the season.
This video ever-so eloquently and effortlessly expresses mental and physical health conditions and it’s correlated facets and features in such a significantly easy-to-follow and impressively insightful way. Thank you so much for this, Doctor Elliott!!!!! 😄🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾☀️✨
What interests me about PTSD is how painkillers affects the formation of it, and in some ways approaching the trauma. Fear and pain seems pretty closely connected, which makes perfect sense. When on painkillers it dulls this reaction which may make it easier to navigate that trauma.
In Drag Race Fance season two, a queen left the competition herself to take care of her mental health, great moment and memorable courage.
Pretty sure that was season 2
Yes it was Moon and on season 2.
the bit at the end is RuPaul being fabulous and talking true. Tell the man with the money to come over here and pay me. Nothing wrong with that. I think the number one thing for young queer people to grow up healthy is to have queer adults in their lives as role models. Not on tv or the internet, flesh and bone IRL. I was so lucky to have successful queer people in my life such that there was nothing anyone could say that could make me believe queer was anything but wonderful, (and I spent my adolescence in the 80s).
RuPaul is brilliant, never hear her/him speak until just a few years ago on some show like Conan and was so impressed. Paul O'Grady was another such person that I really admire for his intense and unapolgetic humanity.
Silky lifting Isis to embrace her was beautiful.
You may want to watch Maddie Morphosis' interview with Rockem Sakura, particularly the parts that were put an a separate video, and deal with sex work and its accompanying mental conditions.
Thank you for discussing these topics. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and I can’t wait to come back and watch more!
Ru and the show have helped me more than my therapist 😂❤ (old straight lady in Texas)
I think if you’re not quite finding compatibility with your current therapist and also considering your ability to do so financially, geographically, socially, etc… feel free and comfortable enough to try and shop for another one that might suit your needs and requirements better! 😃😊🙌🏾☀️✨
How we are feeling always will show on the outside. A huge issue is that oftentimes when we go for the first time to a doctor - we meet them then and there, so they can't compare us with our "usual self". I will say tho, that after 2 years of dealing with incapacitating chronic pain amongst a dozen other symptoms ranging from paresthesia, GI issues to double vision, it was finally a psychiatrist (after the rheumatologist decided it must be psychosomatic) who was the first person to say "Look, I can't really discard that there is something physical going on, but it's been two years we need to try something to help you out. I will never be able to thank that man enough.
First time watching you. Absolutely adore you and will now go on a binge trip through your content!!!
I wish he’d react to some of the drama clips… like react to Willam spilling tea about Ru not visiting Mathu Anderson in the hospital, telling Willam "F you!" in the middle of the street. Lol.
I have had people declare me all better because I did everything I was asked to, as someone with autism the structure and routine of the day can be all that there is, thats why I went to work right after a suicide attempt. sometimes I think I should just misbehave in order to be taken seriously
this really resonates with me !!! i would purposely act out in my first year of college because no one was taking me seriously as it was the only way i would get the attention that i actually needed. eventually i did find the most amazing teacher who actually treated me how i deserved to be, but it honestly is such a difficult thing being someone who doesnt 'look' like they need help. sending lots of love
I think about this a lot. I appear "high functioning" even when I am completely falling apart. I sometimes envy people who fall apart in ways that are obviously external or destructive only because they seem to get more help, even though I know it's harder for them in so many ways. Gotta love capitalism, if you're still working, you're apparently fine!
@@sarahpowell6617 this !!! i find the sense of envy too, and i hate myself for it because i know that everyone deserves help. but i think its that part of me that thinks 'well what about me? when is it my turn?'
What a beautiful man speaking about topics that really hit home. I could listen to him talk about anything with that accent 😅 all that aside, I have an eating disorder, CPTSD, treatment resistant depression, something called MDD and GAD. In short, I am a mess lol I’ve been dealing with all this for over 20 years now. Most of those years unmedicated. Still trying to find the right cocktail of meds.
I would like to have your opinion in Ru Paul staring at Pearl's face in S7 and telling her she has no personality.
Adore Delano, Eureka, and Roxxy Andrews all had really intense moments too.
Thanks for the CBT Ru... According to the NHS I've had an "urgent need" for it since 2009 - still waiting! I actually went down a negative road because of the false hope and empty promises of help from others to the point of snapping and thinking screw you to the NHS, my GP and the lack of support services out there. I'm now totally isolated but not asking for help means I can accept it is definitely not coming and yes I'm still screwed up but It's on me. I have no friends or family or any support and accept dying alone - messed up? Yes, but I'd rather that than be mentally screwed over or drugged up on more than double the recommended dose of happy pills and take a pharmacy of pills to deal with the side effects.
There's a moment in season 7 between Katya and Miss Fame, I think it was about addiction and/or anxiety
Personal Responsibility is so tough but very rewarding!
11:58 is a mixed clip of both RDR US S2 and Canada's Drag Race S1.
can you talk more about their struggles in coming out and how parents, siblings and friends should react or initiate the talk to lessen the pressure?
You were so lovely listen to!
You are GOOD! I feel love!
I know you don't usually do movies, but I'd be really interested to see your reaction to the animated Netflix movie Nimona. RuPaul voices a small part as one of the news anchors!
I always see Drag Queens from RPDR behind your back and know today will come.
There was an ep where Ru said to Katya she was addicted to anxiety. Any thoughts of that?
I would like to hear your thoughts about Roxxxy and the effect the abandonment from her mother had on her. I thought that her behaviour in Season 5 was a direct result. She was trying to bolster herself up, unfortunately at that point she was doing it by putting others down. I love Roxxxy and she makes me feel very protective- I want to hug her.
😮wtf are you talking about
The clip of Ru handling Tyra’s panic attack should be shown in nursing schools
Hi Doctor Elliot! Can you please react to more scenes of Shrinking, the TV Show? I think there's a lot more stuff that's worth discussing and I really enjoyed your video on the first episode. Thank You!
why was Ru edited in the Juice Boxx panic attack clip? This was Canada's Drag Race season 1 and Ru was not a judge or even a guest judge there...
If you do another part to this, I would love for you to react to Katya opening up to Miss Fame in season 7. It always makes me cry because it’s such a genuine and vulnerable moment that sheds light on the life long battle with addiction and leaving a network of support.
Thank you for talking about hEDS. If I could post pictures in these comments I'd show you a picture of me and Yvie with one of my feet turned backwards 😂😂
Oh, catastrophic thought... My basic modus operandi for life 😆😆😆😆
I must say, I absolutely love when you start explaining brain physiology and pharmacology, makes me want to redo my state exam and go into psychiatry. Maybe even flee Spain 😋
I think it’s brave to discuss mental health issues openly in general. I couldn’t imagine how much bravery it took to open about it in the LBTQT community (especially when a lot of visibility is among females that are not part of that community).
If you havn't watched it yet, I think you'd enjoy Dragrace France. Nicky Doll is a bit akward in the first couple episodes but it gets better fast, and there's a level of sorority and kindness from the judges and between the candidates I havn't seen in the US one !
talking of the paper bag technique for panic attacks - i had someone try and get me to breathe into a paper cone ? he claimed that it works just the same as a paper bag, but after googling at length about it, all i could find was information on dog cones 😭 i am wondering if you have ever heard of it or are aware of it being a thing at all ?!! as im not convinced...
I noticed the yellow Lego man is missing behind you.
Is that a nod for the hostages? If so- thank you 💛
Thank you.
As someone with disordered eating, it really bothers me that that is still one of the jokes that has persisted throughout the series. I know EDs are extremely common amongst queer individuals and to have jokes like the tictac lunch still be used as staples in the series is really unfortunate.
Tbh, I always viewed the tictac lunch to either be a rag on the modelling industry (Drag Race was heavily based on ANTM) that now just is a very silly, camp thing that lost its meaning, as someone who hasn’t really struggled with an ED formally. Interesting to see this perspective!
I would love to ask your opinion on when queens themselves use a joke that talks about EDs in a possibly crude way: I think immediately of the tapeworm joke Jinkx Monsoon used about Ross Matthews during the All winners roast.
my sister suffered too and I have same feelings about it
@@sunnydays07yeah as someone who still does struggle with EDs I’ve always understood the Tic tac lunch thing to be punching Up not down. The joke isn’t that you’re starving yourself. The joke is the absolute absurdity of the expectation that to be famous or loved or liked you have to have an ED. all that being said we all deal with our traumas and triggers differently so I genuinely hold space for those who are deeply hurt by those jokes
As a 37 women with chronified ED (beyond other issues), thank you for the shout out on how complex these are. And blurry at times. It definitely presents different in me now compared to when it all started.
I have several mental health issues, but my ED really is the one that is most misunderstood, the one I got most shamed for (and feel most shameful about), further traumatized and reduced too. Reduced also by family members, because my underweight is all they see. But even by doctors sometimes. As you said, feels really stigmatizing.
Shared experiences with other patients can be so powerful. This send shivers down my spine. It really is hard.
THANK YOU for more queer content and everything you put out! As a lesbian with bipolar disorder who is also surrounded by homophobia, your videos help me more than you can know ❤
When did captions go from an option to unavoidable? As helpful as they are to some, they're a huge distraction for others, and we should have the option to turn them off.
Rant over.
"don't take life TOO seriously"
Just have FUN.
Why Ru's 88 clip resonates? On one hand THAT person turned it the f around for themselves, on the other they represent SO MANY people who are currently like this or never got their life together, and we also see many of these people in our day to day. It's really sad, often too sad. So sad we are afraid to deal with it in our society.
Wow, this doc is smart, eloquent, and qute with a capital Q! (to quote Jack from W&G)
The part about the eating disorder joke, it was a cheap shot at Valentina from Eureka. I have an eating disorder (I’m soon 31 and it started when I was 8, I puked up food, but now I more starve myself a few days, then eat something. And it starts all over again.. And I have always have a bad relationship with my body, and I still do. And when people comment on it, like how skinny I look and they wish they looked like me, or more negative comments also.. Like: Eat something you skinny bitch!
And I also struggled with an anxiety disorder, Ocd and c-ptsd and recovering from a heroin addiction, other drugs also.. Now I have been on a medication for almost 5 years and I haven’t touched dope since!
But it’s hard dealing with an ED and people only think it has to do with the amount of food you eat..
Please cover the Vixen and RuPaul reunion moment, or Pearl and RuPaul, when arm chair psychology fails and pure anger and power takes over.
OK, I promise I'll watch the entire video, but I couldn't help but notice the yellow Lego figure is missing from the set behind you (during the intro)...
Drag race is essential
Hi you really should react to some Moral Orel, in particular the final episode of season 2
5:50 getting "the right SORT of education" ...yeah. not ALL of the education, just "the right sort"
It’s really astounding to see how far queer culture has come.now there are ppl who are far more aware of sex health and having safe sex and also knowing how to spot red flags in situations and ppl who r struggling with mental illness. About the depression part it’s rly true, I was on fluoxetine for 2-3 yrs and I couldn’t feel anything not even when someone passed in my family. And I wore a mask bc ppl would treat me like as if I’m a deranged person but no one would bother asking me how I really felt bc they don’t know what to say. I’ve learnt that even tho sometimes I wish ppl would leave me alone I also needed human intimacy and care.At the end of the day you should always show concern to ppl who r going thru it bc it’s really what they need deep down the most.
I rly appreciate the deep dwele and cautioning of how to handle trauma bc some ppl can be so insensitive that it’s hard to even explain to them 🙄
Love how much we learnt from one video ❤
You are adorable❤
Wait , does Jinx constantly smoke grass because of her narcolepsy? She could be smoking sativa
What is sometimes worse is not having the answers, my body has been slowly breaking down and I have a very high suspicion it's Ehlers Danlos, but my doctor will just not listen to me
I actually used to be a gymnast and this days I can barely get out of bed and I'm only 21, it's really scary and I feel so alone as no one is taking me seriously because of the fact I'm so young
EDS is extremely rare, so most doctors would not have experience diagnosing it. To be fair, it’s one of those very rare diseases you learn about in school but never expect to see irl. If your doctor doesn’t believe you, go to another doctor for a 2nd opinion. It’s your body and you feel something happening so advocate for yourself. ❤❤
@@melaninmonroe007 I've been considering getting a second opinion, let's hope it goes well
I have severe problems with skin tissue, everything else works fine. Just by pressing my leg too hard against a table leg for example I get a bruise. A small shallow cut on a finger takes several weeks to heal. Some bruises take around 10-12 months to disappear. But as this is my only problem I most probably don't have EDS. Still, I'm on the search to find a doctor/dermatologist who can help me, because this condition is fairly new (since 2 years). So I keep going to different doctors. Keep on pushing and go to other doctors and get other opinions. You are not alone. There will be doctors who will listen. All the best.
Random but one of the frames in the background reminds me a lot about Palestine, especially with the key ❤
11:56 That is strange edit from different seasons. RuPaul didn't host Canada Drag Race 🤔
Yesterday I made mushroom, potato and nettle soup.
Do people realize that the first quote is reference to Katya?
just a small edit if I may, you say "We've got a bunch of queer men [on RPDR]" at 4:37 which would have been better referred to as queer people/folks. Ironically, none of the 4 discussing eating disorder identify as men (maybe at the time of filming they did, I don't know). Loved your video in any case, but thought I would just point that out
I'm confused about the clip with juice boxx. That's Canada's drag race. Ru isn't on that.
Im currently suffering with anorexia/ Bulimia and i went to my family and told them what had been going on. They told me that it wasnt a real problem and basically gaslight my experience. My teeth have fallen out due to the acids that i throw up. Im trying my best to find recovery on my own, but i live in a small, conservative country town with almost no lgbt community to lean on and as a gay man its been really hard to fight this daily battle alone honestly. Sometimes i just feel defeated and weak mentally and physically. 😔
I'm old . It doesn't get better if you dont get help. If you're smart you'll keep yourself alive long enough but yeah its a "high school kid " problem. I'm around 30 years old so try harder or you'll be looking 40-50 years old way before you should.
I felt so bad for Eureka for that comment..... They mansplaing eating disorders to her! Girl please.
Could you do a video on the 2002 movie Phone Booth?
oof. TW needed on that last clip
Rupaul has never been on Canada
I had multiple EDs over a long time because I was horribly insecure, especially because I had a thyroid condition. I wasn't even that big, I just had hips wider than my sister, so I wasn't a size 0. But I had violin hips, so my extremely obese mother would jab at me and call me fat all the time. Over a decade of EDs wrecked my metabolism, and I became disabled soon after recovering (unrelated). So I am unable to exercise at all, basically. On top of that disability (and mental health), I have the hypermobile joints that was in the video, but not the disorder. If I lay on my side my hip can dislocate.
Once I mentioned an eating disorder to someone I didn't really know more recently, and they said "I can tell," just assuming it is binge eating because now I can't keep weight off from all the years I was anorexic, bulimic, abusive meds to lose weight, making sure I burned exactly how many calories I ate at the gym or more, ect. It hit me like a ton of bricks. It came up because I felt backed into a corner about something else and I wanted to shift attention away. I can't look in a mirror, haven't been able to for years. I don't let doctors weigh me. I don't own more than a kitchen scale. I know what is and isn't healthy, so I don't read calories. I don't go on anything in the gym or have any apps that measure burned calories. It is so, so, so hard to not backslide, especially now that I'm disabled. And people who judge me stop as soon as they spend time with me and realize how little I actually eat. Which isn't me dieting, I just don't eat as much as I look like I do. Not even close.
cute doctor
Don't ever tell people what they can and can't joke about.
A lot of people use comedy as a way to deal with Trauma.
Now I don't know Eureka, but she seems that type. So little miss "I'm so intelligent" Sacha Velour telling Eureka not to joke about that is actually doing a disservice to Eureka. But no one cares about that, because we mustn't offend anybody else.
I despise the inner saboteur. I think the idea is...a solid way to talk about how we think about negative thoughts. But I think ru throws it around the way TikTok armchair "psychiatrist" throw around the word trauma.
She stole the one foot in the past thing, she stole from katya from season 7 & as2, she said it on unnnnhhhh
Ru was never on Canadas drag race
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It is absolutely ridiculous... I was a professional ballet dancer for over 15 years, had an eating disorders myself and had an addiction problem with amphetamines years after, for about 8 years. Now I have been clean for over 2 years, and eating normally since many more. If you feel attacked or triggered by a joke than you need much more help than you think dear.
Not everbody deals equaly with their trauma or past. I am someone who freely makes jokes about myself and my issues regarded and if that triggers you, that is not my problem at all, and I am certainly not apologizing for it. Feeling offended or allowing yourself to be triggered is a choice that demands hard mental work and emotional consciousness. I will not back up someone else's mental lazyness. Get your reality check done... straight facts on the desk ..find yourself some help, learn from the passt, be thankfull for you present, and grow up.
I am so done with political correctness and the current social lay out. You literally can not say anything without offending someone.... news flash! The world is not easy, and you cannot make everyone happy, nor it is my job to make everyone happy. It is outrageous trying to make someone elses weeknesses, the responsibility for the rest. I only take responsibility for my emotions. If someone wants to be triggered or offended be my guest. My lifetime is just too precious to deal with that sort of nonsense.
Drag Race has also been horrible and triggering for the contestants and all caused by Rupaul and Michelle themselves. Ironic.
yet drag race creates trauma for these queens with their treatment on the show and extreme enviornment they create in order to get as much emotions out of the contestants. not to mention the editing and production framing queens in the way they want in order to compliment and align with the story they are selling.
That's dumb to say, she thinks she successfully made a joke. It's pure igonrace to think oh that person is thin so they probably have eating disorder that low and plus eating disorder affects fat people more than thin people: 6% of thin people face eating disorder comparing to 94% of fat people.
But most of you reduce eating disorders to anorexia nervosa which mostly affect thinner people, forgetting bulimia Nervosa, binge-eating disorder and Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) among others eating disorders affect all people thin or fat.
Most eating disorders involve focusing too much on weight, body shape and food. This can lead to dangerous eating behaviors.
These behaviors can seriously affect the ability to get the nutrition your body needs and it affects fat people more than it does with thin.
Because of Fatphobia and social norms that discriminate against fat people so it was inconsiderate from Eureka to say that.
I'm sure you're aware that not all gay guys identify as queer. For some of us, it is an awful, hateful slur. I wish you would avoid using it to refer to men who have not expressed that it is how they identify. In the words of GLAAD, "Once considered a pejorative term, queer has been reclaimed by some LGBTQ people to describe themselves. However, it is not a universally accepted term even within the LGBTQ community, so use caution when using it outside of describing the way someone self-identifies or in a direct quote. " Love you and your content, hunty ;-)
I remember watching season 9, and the way they were trashing on *Nina Bonina Brown* cause she felt down was disgusting. The queens were always badmouthing her all the time.
Being a cis male, body image can still be problematic. Obsessive body building, potential steroid use. Or, overly concerned with being not "manly" enough during late teens/early adulthood. Not me though,....😬
Queer men? Drag race has ttans female and even cis gendered females. Not just queer men.
the best moments about mental health on Drag Race are the ones RuPaul is not at all involved in. I just can't stand her shallow bits of fortune cookie wisdom she apparently just has to burp out all the time. Don't take advice from a narcissist who is just trying to make herself look good in the eyes of the world but who by many, many, many accounts lacks genuine empathy.
Once you bottom you are gonna start a pattern of ed
so the best you can do for yourself is at least make sure you eat every other day
Thank me later gay bae
Saying people used to call you E.T while looking like E.T is classically served irony…
