RuPaul Is Getting Backlash For Comparing Transgender Queens To Athletes On Steriods

Rupual Backtracks On Transgender Comment

 Rupaul has been getting backlash on social for his comment he made abut transgender drag queens. In an interview he did with the The Guardian he says that he would not allow trans and bio queens on Rupaul's Drag Race after explaining that drag lies more with 'men dressing up as women'



He then faced even more backlash when he compared transgender queens with doping athletes after responding to negative criticism of his interview

Some of the queens from show have responded to the backlash

 My partner of almost three years is trans, and #bendelachrist help anyone who tries to tell him what he can and can’t do. Just sayin’.

Drag is fun. Drag is not to be taken too seriously. Drag is expression. Drag is art. Drag is for everyone. Drag can be created by anyone. ✌🏽

We work with trans women every night side by side and for them to be denied the opportunities because of someone’s narrowminded view on what they call “drag” is fucked. And to my sisters who read this- doing the right thing ain’t always easy, but it’ll help u sleep at night. My motto is no sister left behind. I practice it every time i visit Mathu and when i stood up for him with the Emmy’s. Hell i did it in the airport yesterday with @therealtsmadison when we was running for our flight. Do something. Do it. Tag your favorite Ru Girls. I’ll start. Don’t let this slide. This is discrimination within our own community. @theonlyalaska5000 @thebiancadelrio @bobthedragqueen @bebezahara @tyrasanchez @thejinkx @sutanamrull @violetchachki @sashavelour @sharonneedlespgh @chadmichaelsallstar

Rupaul then backtracked

In the 10 years we’ve been casting Drag Race, the only thing we've ever screened for is charisma uniqueness nerve and talent. And that will never change. pic.twitter.com/0jsyt6MRvO
