During the final competitive episode (12), she said she was "more true than real." Given that our current power structure is all too real, yet has a decidedly adversarial relationship to truth, I think "more true than real" is something we can try now. She also told an ew.com interview:
I believe drag is a form of activism. It centers queer people and queer ways of being beautiful, especially in a political context where beauty is narrowly defined or what’s considered important or valuable is narrowly defined, and drag always offers a different option.
Reality drools. Truth rules. Wear that crown well, Sasha!
