I've been fighting so hard since day 1. Every one of my sets have gone through, (yes, even that one!). Sorry to people I've lied to, but that's the game. I've been playing the absolute game of my life. So I was disappointed to find out that Ahmad was not doing the same.
It quickly came to my attention that he was not actually trying and his nominations were not going through (mine were). He was relying on his popularity to carry him, or save him in any poll. This was the one poll he had any concerns about. So naturally, some people had to flip and make it happen. I get it.
However, I have so much fight left in me! This is not the end Tengaged. Please don't let this be the end! Ahmad has won so many stars. This is my first one in like 8 years. I'm having an absolute blast destroying my sleep schedule like this 馃槄.
If you allow me to stay, you can expect a lot of gameplay. I don't know that I can say the same about my opponent. The past few days don't inspire confidence in me.
Either way, good luck Ahmad. Try to remember it is a game. 鉂わ笍
Sooo... I'm platinum I guess! Still reeling from the shock tbh. I don't want to write too much of the same stuff I've already said in the vlog above. But I do want to thank everyone who got me to this point. Every person who helped in my charities, aligned with me in Survivor/Hunger Games, etc. Also thank you to friends, old and new, for making me WANT to stick around. It always felt weird inserting myself into friend groups who have known eachother for many many years. But you all accepted me with open arms 鉂わ笍.
I also joined Stars (pause for dramatic gay gasp)... you finished? Great. But yes, here we are. My final kick of the can before I retire the game for good! I just hope it is a positive experience and that I can walk away happy with the game I played and the friends I've made (unintentional rhyme)... Jesus聽 even my blogs are rambly! Anyways, watch the vlog above for more of my feelings... and tangents 馃槵
I don't even mind the novocaine needle injection ... it is when the numbing subsides and I can feel the soreness at the injection site that I start having a bad time 馃槵 . And that's where I'm at currently 馃檭
I will never invalidate a trans person's feelings or experiences. I can't even imagine the hell you've gone through/go through regularly for just existing as your most authentic self.
But drag is not about dressing up as the opposite sex you were assigned at birth. There are AFAB queens, there are drag kings of all genders, non-binary performers who keep their pronouns in drag.
People go out of their way to blur the line between what is considered feminine and masculine. If Rupaul's drag race is the cornerstone of drag that we make it out to be, sure. We got serious issues. But most drag performers aren't on that heavily controlled and cast show. It is reality TV, not reality.
Drag performers and transgender folx have been there fighting for our rights at, and preceding Stonewall. They were there, pushing the envelope, challenging the imminent danger. Both groups are so strong and play such important roles in our community. I hate that idiots have created these feelings and this division for you 馃様
