Bob the Drag Queen is nothing if not upfront, confirming simply on Twitter, "For the record I identify as Pansexual and non-binary." When a fan questioned what the "Drag Race" star's preferred pronouns were, separate to her sexual orientation, Bob replied, "Oddly enough I prefer binary pronouns. he/him/his/she/her/hers."
Metro Source asked Bob for her opinion on whether the seemingly sudden proliferation of labels is harming the LGBTQ+ community, to which Bob argued, "I certainly don't think so. I think they can be used to harm people if you're intentionally misgendering or intentionally trying to identify someone in a way they don't identify. But I feel like the idea notion of labels, ideas and pronouns are helping people communicate better and helps people feel safe."
She added sagely, "And that's why I always tell people to put your pronouns in your Twitter bio. Even if you are a cisgender person who uses the pronouns of the gender you were assigned at birth. It also signals to people who may be crossing your path that you are a safe person they can talk to." Bob is characteristically frank on all matters, memorably going into detail with Vice about what it really takes to compete on the biggest drag stage in the world.
Although Bob didn't spend that much, comparatively speaking, during her season, she acknowledged returning to the show nowadays would require a significant financial investment. Evidently, even raw talent needs a little help.
