Drag Race France star Kitty Space comes out as trans
"Let's live free," the Drag Race France season 2 star wrote. "It's our body, our gender, our choices."
Kitty Space, a Vietnamese-French drag artist best known for competing in the second season of Drag Race France, has come out as a trans woman in an emotional post.
"My name is Kiara [trans flag emoji; heart emoji]. I'm so happy to come out as trans. It was hard to hide, but today I want to live free; to be happy by being myself."
She continued, "What am I, deep inside: a woman living hidden while being unhappy? Or [someone who can] live free and be fulfilled? That question has been asked at length. Protect my loved ones who would take [the news of coming out as trans] badly, or protect myself?"
"I chose to protect myself, and also protect those who hide and who don't dare [to come out]," Kitty concluded. "Let's live free. It's our body, our gender, our choices."
From Lyon, France, Kitty became the first Asian queen to compete on Drag Race France following her casting in season 2. Unfortunately, she went on to have a rocky journey in the competition — having to lip sync for her life in episode 1 (which she won) and ultimately being asked to sashay away in episode 3.
However, given the very strong cast and competitive nature of Drag Race France season 2, Kitty still captured the hearts of many Drag Race fans around the world. As of this writing, she has over 38,000 followers on Instagram.
Toutes nos félicitations to Kitty Space, who's now living life as her most authentic self!
Drag Race France is now streaming on WOW Presents Plus.
