Fans started speculating about Trinity K. Bonet coming out as trans after the Drag Race alum shared a picture on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, December 15 with a caption that included three emojis: the two hearts emoji, the transgender flag emoji, and the squinting face with tongue emoji.
Out reached out for comment, and Trinity wrote the following response:
"Hey, how are you doing? Yeah, I did come out. Lol but I'm not trying to do interviews and make a big deal about it. I've always been Trinity. I'm just keeping wig on. Lol."
Best known as a Lip Sync Assassin on Drag Race season 6, a top 5 semifinalist on All Stars 6, and a competitor at the 2024 Miss Continental pageant, Trinity had been dropping hints about coming out as trans in other posts shared over the weekend.
For instance, Trinity — who is an Aquarius — shared an Instagram story on Saturday, December 14 that described "the Aquarius woman," as you can see below.
