Chase Lounge opens up about his journey after one year of being on testosterone and two years of running an all sapphic and trans drag show called the Pink Pony Club, one of the most consistent spaces for drag king performers in LA. We discuss the origin of Chase and Mister’s friendship and how they both operate as anti-capitalists within a capitalist system while learning how to define their worth as an artist. I ask Mister about their podcast 5 O’clock shadow where they similarly platform members of the community and explore conversations around sexuality and gender identity. I ask them about their experiences with gender dysphoria and how they’re able to navigate within an otherwise binary world. Chase elaborates on self-identifying as “trans masc” and how that feels more comfortable than simply a nonbinary identity. Both Chase and Mister share what they love about performing as fabulous men onstage, elaborating on the healing power of finding the comedy and joy in masculinity.\nThen we get into the It Girls of the Week:\n\n(Spoilers ahead!)\n·      Ariana Grande stepping back from the spotlight over scrutiny over her physical appearance in the newly released “Petal” music video which prompted widespread concern for the singer’s health·      Avril Lavigne stealing Simone Biles’ sunglasses at Taylor Swift’s wedding who’s side are you on?
