For over a decade, RuPaul's Drag Race has been broadening the audience and cultural appreciation of drag as an art form.  The show has served as an inspiration and source of entertainment for people both in- and outside the LGBTQ+ community.

However, until now the show has only showcased the talents of cis men, trans* women, and enbys who perform as drag queens.  It is time for the show to become even more inclusive by casting and allowing drag kings to compete alongside their femme-presenting colleagues.

Drag uses camp, fashion and humor to explore and parody the traits that define our conception of gender.  In a world where toxic masculinity is prevalent, drag kings are a hugely important part of that conversation.
