Caius and Dean Heartthrob (Cleveland/Pittsburgh; he/him)reflect on Dean’s draglesque mix "COLONCORE," dedicated to his experience with Crohn’s disease. They talk practical effects, drag king covers, catharsis through art, and the close-knit community in local drag and burlesque.

Content warnings: detailed discussions of chronic illness, medical trauma, and misogyny. References to sexual harassment and simulated gore. Occasional use of homophobic slurs.

Special thanks to the Twisted Transitioner, Colby Jack, and Judas Butler!

Did you love it? Did you hate it? Do you want to give a drag king a piece of your mind?
