Article about RuPaul's Drag Race UK https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-49498681
At one point a drag artiste's sexuality is mentioned, but at no point is anything mentioned about their gender identifications.
Are female pronouns being used because the article refers to the personas? Much like you might say "When Ada hoiks her bosom she is hilarious" or "When Les Dawson performs as Ada he is hilarious".
On the other hand, several of the artistes in the article speak about their own feelings, apparently in their own voices, therefore as males.
RuPaul is referred to as 'he', and is shown in masculine clothing. Would he be referred to as 'she' if he was photographed in drag?
