PS: Trannyshack is legendary in the gay community. What was their community like for you as a woman?
F: It was addicting, and it was also a really welcoming community. I feel very lucky to have come into a community that was super ready for women to be playing with them. They were the next generation of drag. It was punk; it was meant to upset the status quo. They were very into the genderf*cking movement. It was not about everyone becoming pretty ladies. It was about creating creatures. It was a place where not just gay men, but also transwomen, drag queens, women dressing in drag, transmen, and drag kings came together under one roof. That was the climate that I emerged into, and I was embraced there.
