Gentlemen, start your engines and may the best woman win!
It’s been a busy year for “RuPaul’s Drag Race” including the first seasons to feature queens from the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Canada but plans to start 2021 with the next “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” That’s right, season 13 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” will be premiering the first day of 2021 with an unprecedented cast.
Though the competition drag show features an all-male cast, this season will be making “Drag Race” her-story with the first-ever trans male contestant. Several prior “Drag Race” contestants revealed on the show they’re trans but the season 13 contestant, Gottmik, will be the first trans man to enter the race for the crown.
