The U.K.'s got the most advanced relationship with masculinity, femininity and sexuality.
Courtney Act
Different people are attracted to me depending on how I look. I have a very broad spectrum of attraction.
I know that the U.K. loves a villain.
I just wanted to show young people you can be you and wear what you want.
Often with bigotry it's passive not active.
I know what it's like to be in unrequited love.
I was always made to feel that men were desirable because of their masculinity, and for a boy, being feminine was not something you should be proud of. But, I came to realise it's OK for boys to be feminine, for girls to be masculine and we should all express ourselves however we want.
For my teen years and all of my twenties it felt like I was trying to live up to this expectation of being a man and what that meant - not just what clothes I wore, but how I acted.
I am attracted to people irrespective of their gender.
There's so much visibility for trans people, for gay men and lesbians, but there's still not a lot for bisexual people.
'The Bi Life' will show many stories. I think that people will find some of those stereotypes, maybe some people are greedy, maybe some people are using bisexual as a transition, but not all of them are.
We live in a fear-based world where HIV stigma can prevail.
An ex-boyfriend of mine is living with HIV. He has an undetectable viral load so I know first-hand how this can affect people in a serodiscordant couple - which is where one partner is HIV-negative and one is HIV-positive.
Drag has taught me that I have deliberate control over my image, and when this notion is applied to one's whole life, it is both powerful and transformative.
To hold and know the power of a woman is something so amazing that I don't think a woman could ever understand because they cannot know life without it.
The ability to create anything I want without rules is the real thing I love about drag.
The art of drag is intrinsic to who I am.
There are gay people in every community, there are bi people in every community and they can come together with a bit of strength.
I've had boyfriends I've dated whom I met as Courtney, but then dated as Shane. Courtney can certainly act as a glamorous stepping stone across the pond.
I've seen attraction manifest itself in so many fascinating ways. Lots of straight-identifying men have been attracted to me as Courtney.
As a drag performer, people have traditionally put us into the category of 'pervert' or 'deviant' or things like that. So I've always been really careful not to be vulgar or grotesque with sexuality.
The thing about gay male pop stars is: they aren't supported by gay men. Gay men don't really support them until they've gone beyond the gay community and had success in the mainstream, so it's really challenging.
I just feel like, at any moment, a drag or a trans or a gender-diverse artist that doesn't fit in a box is ready to break into the mainstream. I want to do my best to put myself in the best position to have that happen for me.
Recognizing your place of power and privilege in an unfair system can, as an ally, help you to start using that privilege as an opportunity to do good.
