Perform for Crowds But Freeze at the Grocery Store?| Hummingbird on Drag & Identity|The Queer Vision

What does it mean to light up on stage but struggle to exist in everyday spaces? In this episode of The Queer Vision, Ko sits down in person at the Durty Bull with Hummingbird — drag king, poet, and self-described tiny yet mighty wild and untamed thing. We talk about stumbling into drag at the first Pittsboro Pride, how performing became easier than human interaction, writing poetry about the exact disconnect between stage presence and social anxiety, finding non-binary identity through binding, and being a twin who people assume is just copying their sibling.We also get into the history of drag kings as male impersonators, ADHD diagnoses and what meds actually do to your brain, and the very specific experience of wanting to scream at a drag show but absolutely not being able to be the first one to do it. Fair warning — we were both a little awkward. It's charming. We promise. ★WHERE YOU CAN FIND HUMMINGBIRD★ Instagram - @Hummingbirdkingthing ★WHERE YOU CAN FIND US★ Website - http://www.queerolina.org Facebook - Queerolina Instagram - @queerolinaorg BlueSky - http://queerolinaorg.bsky.social #QueerPodcast #DragKing #TheQueerVision #LGBTQPodcast #QueerIdentity #NonBinary #DragCommunity #NorthCarolina #ADHD #QueerPoetry
