"I myself identify as being [[genderqueer]]. So some days I feel more like a female. Some days I feel more like a male. And some days I don't want to take my makeup off.

Drag has really helped me explore my identity."<ref name="advo_Amer">{{Cite web |title=America's Next Drag Superstar Is 22, Genderqueer, and a Trans Activist |last=Reynolds |first=Daniel |work=advocate.com |date=2 June 2015 |access-date=1 April 2020 |url= https://www.advocate.com/arts-entertainment/television/2015/06/02/americas-next-drag-superstar-22-genderqueer-and-trans-activ}}</ref> | "I myself identify as being [[genderqueer]].
