TIL that Denzel Washington's mother owned a hairdressing salon with a drag queen who performed with Dorian Corey.
Episode 2 of Season 9 profiles Dorian Corey. One of Paris Is Burning's most quotable characters, Corey's life helps us explore the history of drag from balls for enslaved people in the 1870s to today. And when she died, friends found a mummified body in her closet. badgayspod.com/episode-arch...

S9E3 just dropped: it's Charles Hitchen, who played both sides of a corrupt, pay-to-play criminal justice system in Georgian England, all while touring through London's infamous "molly houses," back rooms of taverns or gin houses, where queer men could meet and cruise. badgayspod.com/episode-arch...

Season 9 is here! And it's LITTLE RICHARD, who contained multitudes: a pioneering rock and roll musician, a conservative preacher from the deep South, and a young Black queer man thrown out of his home who became a drag performer under the name Princess LaVonne.

Good history is largely about making educated guesses and showing your work. And always remember: sex changes.
@queerasfact.bsky.social will make their own best pronoun interpretation of the evidence and @badgayspod.bsky.social will sometimes make a different one! It's the TERFy bioessentialism piece of the quoted's strawman post where one 'side' goes wrong. History and gender is rarely so cut and dry.

I would be willing to bet that in many of the jurisdictions where Epstein and Maxwell were reportedly engaged in sex trafficking, law enforcement was getting these trafficking grants and doing these trafficking trainings, for years
