“RuPaul’s Drag Race” legend Valentina described her transition as a gradual journey, telling Spanish outlet Shangay: “There’s too much social pressure to become the person of your dreams overnight, but I’m still a baby trans.” She explained that after embracing her identity privately—first identifying as non-binary for her father’s understanding before expressing her full femininity—she entered a “metamorphosis stage” where she’s building into the woman she envisions, emphasising the importance of taking her time. Valentina added that earlier in her transition, she felt pressured to amplify her femininity, but now she feels she’s found her authentic face and voice. She acknowledged the opportunities that drag has brought into her life and shared her desire to stay continuously busy and engaged with her craft—even though she “doesn’t feel that famous, to be honest.” #valentina #dragrace #transwoman #transitioning #drag #lgbtqia
