*Drag Race UK*[ season 2](https://www.scenemag.co.uk/drag-race-uk-season-2-lineup-revealed/) star, **Bimini Bon Boulash**, shared a message of solidarity with trans people and called for greater protections of the *“vulnerable”* community. Speaking to *[Evening Standard](https://www.standard.co.uk/insider/bimini-bon-boulash-drag-race-es-magazine-interview-b936087.html?ref=scenemag.co.uk),* the non-binary queen said the *“roll-back on trans rights is scary”* after both the **UK** and the **US** have seen increasing political hostility towards the trans community, particularly trans youth.

Discussing the experiences of their trans friends, Bimini said: *“Their journey is so different: they get all of this hate and stigma attached to them, and it’s really heartbreaking.”* They called for the LGBTQ+ community to band together to protect trans people, but also said that despite the hostility, *“there’s a lot of good happening among the trans community, rallying together in allyship.”*

Elsewhere in the interview, they also discussed their identity as a non-binary person, saying: *“I always know that I was neither here nor there – like I was in between. That’s how I’ve always felt.”* They said they hope for a future where *“we’ll all be able to move forward together…*\[and not\] *split people up and expect someone to be a certain way just because they’re female or male.”*
