“After my experience of being on the show, I would say that, to me, the use of the words ‘she-male,’ ‘ladyboy’ and ‘tranny’ are not cute at all. I have fought, and still am fighting, for respect from society — to be accepted as a woman and not referred to as a ‘tranny’ or ‘she-male.’
“I will say that RuPaul and the entire cast and production team were amazing. To this day they still check up on me, so for that I am forever grateful. However, maybe some things need to be changed about the show, because it’s not just a drag show anymore. We have beautiful transgender cast mates paving the way for all transgender showgirls,” said Monica.
