00:26
[Music]
00:28

00:30
more masculine side
00:32
so this is gonna be interesting
00:36
i’m going to get you all dressed up and
00:38
we’re going to do your face
00:39
and you’re going to become harry
00:43
it’s a good start with harry harry is
00:45
good might find a good pun off the back
00:47
of harry that’s a good one yeah
00:48
i mean what do i call you i’d like to
00:51
you know what’s your pronoun is it
00:52
they he she i can be a bit confusing
00:56
when i’m in drag like this when i’m all
00:57
dressed
00:58
up i use he him because adam is a bloke
01:00
so the character that i’m playing is a
01:02
man so he him
01:03
but out of drag when i muggle me um my
01:06
real name is jen
01:07
and i’m they then
01:12
[Music]
01:14
how did you get into that i always
01:15
wanted to get on the stage
01:17
so when i got the older and i came out
01:19
became part of the queer community and
01:20
found myself and understood myself i
01:22
found that there was a place on the
01:24
stage
01:24
for me and it was looking at gender
01:27
playing with gender exploring gender
01:29
and that i could inhabit the character
01:32
of a man
01:33
and have fun with that a lot of people
01:36
think if you dress up
01:37
in drag you must be trans but it’s not
01:40
the case is it no no it’s not it’s just
01:42
like an art form so it’s a bit like
01:43
being uh
01:44
being a clown i put the costume on yeah
01:46
i play my character and then i take it
01:48
off
01:48
yeah it’s not my identity it’s a
01:49
character that i play right obviously
01:51
being trans it’s it’s
01:52
actual identity it’s who the person is
01:54
so we’re going to create a character for
01:56
you
01:57
yeah who is harry tell me about how
01:59
harry
02:00
well i’m a bit of a lad etsy so i would
02:02
say harry’s the lad in me
02:04
a lot of the boys take the piss out to
02:05
me and say hey you’re like one of the
02:07
boys
02:08
where you sit like one of the boys i’m
02:10
constantly like i like you know
02:11
lifting my trousers up and now like as
02:14
if i’ve got
02:15
balls like so harry is going to be an
02:17
exaggeration of all of those things
