Non-binary drag queen Brigitte Bandit has mocked Marjorie Taylor Greene after the Trump-loving politician called her a man.

Greene, who has previously railed against trans healthcare, described Bandit as a man after the drag queen appeared on CNN, adding that drag is “provocative” and that women need “protection” from trans people. 

Bandit, who uses both she/her and they/them pronouns, hit back saying she was “born female” and that Greene’s statement “proved gender is socially constructed”. 

Appearing on CNN on Tuesday (25 June) to discuss meeting Democrats and Republicans about legislative attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, Bandit added that the rising hostility faced by drag artists and the transgender community was “very scary”. 

Greene took aim at the drag artist on Twitter/X, claiming “what’s scary is men pretending to be women reading gender cult-lying books to our children”, and trans people are “taking over our bathrooms, sports and private spaces”.

Bandit then clarified the situation: “Hi Marjorie, I’m Brigitte and I’m the queen in the clip. I’m born female and not a man. You are just proving that gender is socially constructed and have no idea what you’re talking about and why you should have no say in our lives.”
