It’s not lost on me the irony of me winning ‘man’ of the year when I did drag for the first time this year [in the music video for “One of Your Girls”]. I feel more in touch with my femininity than ever, and I think it speaks to a point I’d really like to make, which is that my relationship with masculinity has been very strange my entire life.
I existed in this grey area between not being invited to sleepovers for girls’ nights and not getting along with any of the boys.
Unlearning and de-programming all of that has taken so many years and lots of people. I’m so lucky to have incredible women in my life. I pull so much from them, and their strength and power is something I’m in awe of.
I also have incredible men in my life. And the biggest thing for me has been the queer people in my life that I’ve met along the way. These are people I look to for self love first and foremost, and for love of each other and love of community.
