I just showed students in a Gender Variance course some of Diane Torr’s magic in her Drag King workshop from Venus Boyz.
I knew this news was coming but it’s still heartbreaking: so many of the true trailblazers from the early days of genderfuck and drag are heading for the exits.
Diane Torr, thank you so much. Even knowing you existed at one point in my history was more than I needed to get through a day.
She died May 31st in Glasgow. Thank you for everything you were, everything you did, everyone you helped along the way.
