Sasha made her Drag Race debut in season 15 and was crowned the winner after an iconic final lip sync against Anetra to Amii Stewart’s disco anthem ‘Knock on Wood’.
The Hawaiian queen used her crowning to reference the onslaught of legislative bills targeting the trans community in the United States. In her final speech she said: “This goes to every trans person past, present and future because we are not going anywhere.”
Sasha spoke with Entertainment Weekly and highlighted how it was a “specific choice to be naked in these times”.
“I wanted them to see what they’re trying to eradicate. Because they’re probably eradicating it because they’re attracted to it. The only way you can feel upset with something is if it evokes a strong feeling in you. Usually that feeling is lust hidden under hate. That’s what they’re uncomfortable with,” she explained.
Within the interview, Sasha continued to say that she still gets “clocked” as a trans woman, recalling an incident when someone called her “a man” in New York City.
“It wasn’t because anyone else thought I looked like a man, it’s because someone [who] got attracted to me got the dirt that I was trans, and that made them feel so uncomfortable that they had to say I’m a man. Every time they do that is them showing their own cards,” she said.
“With this legislation and everything happening, for me to represent Drag Race and such a huge conglomerate like MTV and be exactly what [conservatives] want to eradicate is so powerful. I understand the eyes on me, which is why I wanted to be naked. I wanted to normalise this trans body!”
Sasha became the fourth consecutive trans contestant to win RuPaul’s Drag Race after Kylie Sonique Love (All Stars 6), Willow Pill (season 14) and Jinkx Monsoon (All Stars 7). She also made herstory as the first trans woman of colour and former Miss Continental to win the series.
