the person with the relaxed mohawk looks like a Tim Burton character and I'm living for it. Pretty inspiring tbh

The comments are hideous. I wish people would just let people do them, like is not effecting them in anyway, shape or form.

[YoshMonsterGaming]

I like finding common sense in these comments.

[greentintsmyworld]

It's weird how many people watch this just to bash it in the comments. If you know that you are gonna be offended, just don't watch. Let these people live their lives.

What does them being non-binary have to do with anything? Just persons living their lives.

some ppl really have no compassion, and are so closed minded they don't even try to understand. These ppl look cool asf, what they do has made a living for them, they make money off dressing up as whatever and having fun, but most of all they said that this helped them get through insecurities and issues, i think they look amazing too❤️️❤️️

I find drag culture fascinating... Having studied in theatre it's one of those artforms that's really changed theatrically in the last 20 years or so but I see so much interest in it mixed with theatre now. So great to see!

I am transgender and I used drag to help me figure it out this is amazing thank you

WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE SO BEAUTIFUL? ? ?

[Abyssal_D]

All of them are so inspiring. I love love love all their makeup 🙌

[truthseekermedia]

Oh my goodness. This is really happening.

I love this! More non-binary drag representation!
For everyone questioning why their non-binary identity ‘matters’... it’s because we’re often not booked for shows, or if we are we’re not paid, or were paid less for the same amount of performance.

So. That’s why it matters.
We exist. We’re amazing. We’re just as deserving of a spot in the drag world as a fishy queen.

i'm not into drag, but to each their own. it's nice to see non-binary people be represented though. we still have a long way to go in terms of acknowledgement and acceptance.

[PassableClown]

YES I'm so glad this type of drag is being represented! I'm cis afab and I do overly exaggerated femme based drag but it's often very alien/NB so to see performers like me, it's amazing! 💖

I support them in doing whatever makes them happy, and they have my respect for putting themselves out there.

I wish I could understand what it feels like to be non-binary, or transgendered, because from the outside I can see how others would jest and say things such as "oh there's no such thing, 2 genders, if you don't think you're this one, then you're that one" and "they're the only one's who ever talk about gender identity"

At the end of the day, it's not be for me or others to understand, and for all the opposers, just know that you don't always have to understand someones motivations in order to support them. (Or just mind your own business)

[LilDrummaDude]

I'll be hated for this but I feel like they disguise who they really are and feel more comfort in an almost roleplay of a completely different person/look/persona. I don't feel it's a genuine way to love yourself. Not trying to offend anyone as loving yourself isn't easy. It's just my take on the vid

[samaeldarkness]

I love Clint Eastwood? The one with the colorful face, and Dusk the one with the lines on the nose almost egyptian look. All of them look good though.
