Jinkx Monsoon, a two-time winner of RuPaul's Drag Race, is currently starring in Oh, Mary! on Broadway. During an appearance on Good Morning America, she criticized Republican lawmakers for rewriting history. Monsoon humorously suggested that, based on lawmakers' actions, she could claim Abraham Lincoln as a trans woman. She alluded to specific conservative figures who influence perspectives on history, such as the SCOTUS, and has also criticized JK Rowling for her stance on trans issues. Oh, Mary! depicts Mary Todd Lincoln's life leading up to Abraham Lincoln's assassination in 1865 and marks a significant achievement as Escola became the first non-binary actor to win a Tony in the Best Actor in a Play category.
Jinkx Monsoon stated, "Well, everyone, this is how it goes. Abraham Lincoln is now a trans woman, and that's all there is to it. Since lawmakers get to rewrite history, why can't I?"
Monsoon called out JK Rowling for 'identifying' as a male author, despite her controversial views on trans people.
The show follows Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to her husband Abraham Lincoln's assassination in 1865.
Escola made history with Oh, Mary! at the Tony Awards in June, becoming the first non-binary actor to win in the 'Best Actor in a Play' category.
