**Detox**, a star from *RuPaul’s Drag Race*, has come out as trans during **Drag PAC**’s inaugural show in Chicago – a politically charged event aimed at mobilising LGBTQ+ voters ahead of the upcoming US presidential election.

Detox, who rose to fame on season five of *RuPaul’s Drag Race* and later as a runner-up on *All Stars 2*, made the announcement while performing parody song *Chow Down (at Chick-fil-A)* alongside fellow *Drag Race* alum **Willam Belli**. During the song, she altered a familiar lyric, declaring to the audience, “I’m trans now” in place of the former lyric that her “a top.”

The crowd responded with resounding support, embracing the empowering moment for the *Drag Race* star. Although she didn’t elaborate further during the performance, Detox’s social media presence has been increasingly reflective of her journey.

Her Instagram bio now lists her pronouns as “she/they,” and fans have been quick to voice their support.

One admirer shared, “Detox has been giving doll vibes for a while now, so can’t say I’m surprised. So happy for her though. She’s looking amazing.”

Drag PAC featured performances from other drag luminaries, including **Bambi Banks-Couleé**, **Sativa Diamond** and **Lucy Stoole**, and served as a rallying point against anti-drag and anti-trans sentiment in the United States.
