Just listened to an interesting interview on Marathon Talk with Sian Longthorpe nee Simon Longthorpe (Episode 587). One of the things she talked about was accepting her performances were dramatically reduced during and after transition.

Yes that's something I can confirm with completely and am always annoyed with people who think that it doesn't. It's a long standing argument that I'm not getting involved with though. |

Sian Longthorpe is a well respected runner in Devon. She had a good run in the Dartmoor Discovery ultra this year, although, as those comments may suggest, not on a par with Simon a few years back.

swittle - all those episodes are currently on iPlayer. I watched them a few weeks back. Not much has changed in 40 years shall we say. Including the attitude of the doctor in the first 2 episodes.

Just wanted to say what a great, informative this is for those of us trying to be better informed and with the usual wonderful, supportive Fetchie ethos. That's it really. Thanks CotH for the very useful sidebar for terminology tips. G

A request for insight/education please from a position of general ignorance… So Ru Paul’s drag race has an AFAB contestant this series. My initial reaction was that having a female body in a game show where the aim is to turn a male body into a feminine appearance is a bit of an unfair advantage. But that goes against being inclusive (Ie this thread) and if Ru Paul has invited her, then it presumably isn’t the drag equivalent of black face / cultural appropriation… so I’m rolling with it (not that it has anything to do with me). I hear it had been quite controversial so I’m trying to improve my understanding… |

There are female drag queens, but they are not as common as female drag kings. RuPaul is controversial anyway around this issue as previously they have prevented transgender women from taking part, or drag queens that have transitioned have not been invited back for other shows. They do appear to be listening to people's outrage over comments such as ones referred to here: vox.com |

The wife watches the UK Drag Race - she used to do female drag (rather than be a drag king) so likes to watch it. I admire the artistry but know what a PITA it can be to put tights, etc on so leave it there.
