Abstract
The rise of QTBIPOC drag queens, kings, and things are pushing the boundaries of the drag world. With a focus on Vancouver, QTBIPOC drag artists are not only growing, but thriving; in clubs, warehouse parties, stages, and reaching an international audience via social media platforms. Their performances and actions become not only meaningful to the communities they serve; it contributes alternative narratives to drag’s history. In interviews from a sample of Vancouver QTBIPOC drag artists, and research of drag culture and history, the dominant narrative of drag comes into contention; not as a counter-culture, but a push towards inclusivity and unapologetic representation. The insights from these drag artists help re-think drag’s definition, influence, and the potential political platform it presents. From “lewks” that disrupts binary gender expression to performances that elude to illicit action and advocacy, these performances become the building block of not only collective memory for those at a drag show, but a “theirstory” in the making for those within the QTBIPOC community.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
