RuPaul apologized for his statements about transgender drag performers this week.
The Emmy-winning host of VH1's ?RuPaul?s Drag Race? changed his long-held belief that drag and the trans community don?t mix.
The drag performer caused controversy when he told the Guardian he would ?probably not? allow trans women to compete on ?Drag Race,?
He explained that the act of transitioning ?changes the whole concept of what we?re doing.?
?Drag loses its sense of danger and its sense of irony once it?s not men doing it, because at its core it?s a social statement and a big F-you to male-dominated culture. So for men to do it, it?s really punk rock, because it?s a real rejection of masculinity.?
The comments were met with criticism from fans, trans advocates and former ?Drag Race? contestants
RuPaul later apologized, saying the only factors in casting are ?charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent? ? the show?s oft-repeated criteria for success.
