In a tweet posted on 8 January, Gia celebrated the inclusion of two transgender women on season 14 of Drag Race. “So happy to see a trans person on an actual season of Drag Race,” the 31-year-old wrote. “The doors that I’ve opened…” After competing on season six of the show, Gia returned for the fourth instalment of All Stars in 2018.

She made history as the first-ever trans contestant to compete post-transition, with the franchise seeing increasing levels of representation since then.

Season 13 ushered in a new era for Drag Race with the inclusion of the first-ever out transgender male contestant, Gottmik, who went on to win two challenges and make it all the way to the top four.

Kylie Sonique Love also became the first trans contestant to win a US instalment after emerging victorious on All Stars 6 in 2021.

Last March, the Department of Education only said that the policies adopted by individual school boards had to be “consistent with” the aim of the model policies — in other words, ensuring that transgender students are not mistreated or denied opportunities granted to other students.
