Dr Cheddar Gorgeous: Gender, Drag, and Living Beyond the Binary

In the premiere episode of The Rainbow Mind Podcast, we’re joined by cultural icon Dr Cheddar Gorgeous — acclaimed drag artist, academic, and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK finalist — for a powerful and thought-provoking conversation about queer identity, gender, and mental health.Cheddar reflects on their journey with drag as both art and activism, and how it has shaped their relationship to gender, vulnerability, and self-expression. Comfortable using he, she, or they pronouns, Cheddar challenges rigid definitions of identity and invites us to explore life beyond the boxes society places us in.We also dive into masculinity, the realities of chemsex and addiction in the LGBTQIA+ community, and the impact of social media on connection and mental wellbeing.With candidness, humour, and heart, Cheddar helps us kick off The Rainbow Mind Podcast in a way that sets the tone for everything to come.🌈 Learn more about Rainbow Mind Greater Manchester at: https://www.mindinsalford.org.uk/services/rainbow-mind/ Hosted on Acast.
