Jinkx Monsoon

Winner of the fifth season of RuPaul‘s Drag Race, Jinkx Monsoon goes by “she” and “her” when performing, but prefers “they” and “them” pronouns when out of drag.

In a March 2015 Facebook post, Monsoon said, “I myself do not identify as cis-gingered. I am genderless.”

They expounded upon this in an April 2017 interview with Queerty:

“I’ve never identified as fully male. I’ve always identified as more gender fluid or gender ambiguous, but I never knew the vocabulary to explain it for myself.”
