Gottmik responds to conservatives gagged by Drag Race runway

Gottmik responds to conservatives gagged by Drag Race runway

Transgender RuPaul’s Drag Race superstar Gottmik has given the perfect response to her top surgery-inspired runway that has upset a lot of conservatives.

During the most recent episode of All Stars 9, the category was A Tail and Two Titties. The ridiculously talented drag artist, who uses he/him pronouns but she/her pronouns while in drag, walked out onto the Drag Race runway topless, with red threads below her nipples.

Two fake arms wrapped around her chest, with a scalpel in each hand. Gottmik accessorised the look with a clear plastic bag holding two bedazzled, bloody balls.

In the past week, Gottmik’s look – which ultimately won money for a trans charity – riled up a lot of conservatives.

High profile right-wing account Libs of TikTok called the look “absolutely disgusting”. Ex-Fox News journalist Megyn Kelly called it “sick” and “misogynistic”.

In Australia, Sky News Australia opinion-haver Rita Panahi played footage of Gottmik’s runway with most of it completely blurred.

Literally moments after Gottmik explained in the Drag Race clip that her surgery was life-changing for her, Rita blasted the look as “normalising the worst excesses of the trans movement” and claimed it was “so dangerous” to be “glorifying and promoting” top surgery.

‘Reminds me why I do what I do’

But Gottmik couldn’t disagree more. The drag queen celebrated her name trending on Twitter and declaring “no one affirms my gender like the terf community hating my art”.

“Winning another tip of 10k for [charity] @translifeline while wearing this look was BEYOND (and talk about crashing the cis-tem) lol,” Gottmik wrote on Instagram.

“Thank you guys for all of the love and support this week.

“Seeing the emotional response this piece has had on so many people has really impacted me in the most amazing way and reminded me that this is why I do what I do.

Gottmik wrote in a separate post, “This look is beyond just me. It is a piece of art and fashion that represents something that I never thought I’d be vulnerable enough to talk about let alone wear on the runway of @rupaulsdragrace.

“This look represents the pain and suffering I went through while all at the some time experiencing complete trans queer liberation in a way that I hope everyone seeing this will feel one day.

“I found my peace within the fashion drag artistry space and I hope everyone finds theirs in one way or another.”
