RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE recap: "Snatch Game"

We open on Bianca Del Rio reading the queens and telling them to "be funny." 

The drama starts with Fame and Violet both wanting to be Donatella Versace. Kennedy in a shocker wants to be Little Richard. Max (while dressed as a kung fu master for no reason) decides to do Sharon Needles, which everyone thought would be a stretch for her. Katya comes to terms with her addiction to anxiety. 

Kennedy seems to live on another planet. Am I the only one who wonders if she realizes she is on a show with humans who can hear her? Although Little Richard was a gamble it was sooooo funny! She pulled it off fantastically! 

Violet sussed out and did Alyssa Edwards but it was hysterical! 

Pearl did Big Ang and it wasn't built up but it was great. 

Fame fell flatter than two day old Orange soda. Max was flat as expected, and Sharon is such a great personality, there was just no excuse. Katya made Suze Orman a person I actually like. Pearl FINALLY showed her personality and she's TOO funny! She had everyone cracking up!

Katya opened up about her addiction and sobriety to Fame in a very sweet moment. As a recovering heroin addict, I could totally feel what she was going through. It's great to see that openness when there's such an addiction issue in our community. 

On the runway, Ginger looked a bit Rominchal Gypsy man. Violets runway?! Once again we were ALL getting our lives!

Fame's runway, I'm sorry but it looked like something out of the Venus catalog. Katya's outfit was STUNNING. Max was predicted early in the evening to go home tonight and her runway echoed that. Her wig was a different color but, her reveal was shoulders, WTF?

Max loosened her corset and had the weirdest moment on the runway possibly ever, it wasn't funny or appropriate, I'm so over her at this point. 

In a shocker that pleasantly surprised everyone, both Ginger and Kennedy won the challenge. Max and Jaidynn ended up in the bottom two, and Max went home. In a heart pounding show stopper Ru announced a queen is coming back! But which one?! Or all of them?!  Dun dun duuuuuhhhhhh!

5 Things You Need to Know About Hormone Therapy From an Lgbtq+ Nurse Practitioner

by Spectrum Medical Care Center

Nurse Practitioner Ari Kravitz

When I started medical transition at 20 years old, it was very difficult to get the care I needed for hormone replacement therapy because there are very few providers trained in starting hormones for trans people, even though it’s very similar to the hormones that we prescribe to women in menopause or cisgender men with low testosterone.

I hope more providers get trained in LGBTQ+ healthcare, so they can support patients along their individual gender journey, and provide the info needed to make informed decisions about their body. I’ve personally seen my trans patients find hope and experience a better quality of life through hormone replacement therapy.
