RuPaul's Drag Race: Willow Pill Comes Out As Trans
Following the recent events on RuPaul's Drag Race season 14, Willow Pill has now disclosed that they identify as trans. Millions of fans got to know Willow on Drag Race season 14 as a 26-year-old drag performer from Denver, Colorado. Some viewers already knew Willow as being a part of the drag family of RuPaul's Drag Race season 11 winner Yvie Oddly, but they were a new queen to the majority of fans who only keep up with drag on television.
As this season of Drag Race went by, Willow revealed that they were diagnosed with cystinosis from a young age. This medical condition is a kidney disease that can cause issues with one's eyes and muscles. In early episodes, Kornbread «The Snack» Jeté was shown helping Willow out in the werkroom as Willow struggled with their fingers to move. The big mantra for Willow's drag is to turn the pain from their medical condition into something colorful, beautiful, and twisted.

I just say trans femme, but I also don't have to know now,» Willow noted.
