Jinkx Monsoon on Witchcraft, Transitioning & Hidden Intersex Identity

Welcome back to By The Way with Harriet Rose; the home of the chaotic overshare! Two-time Drag Race winner, comedian, actor and all-round icon Jinkx Monsoon joins Harriet for a wonderfully witchy conversation. From accidentally setting a carpet on fire during a Judy Garland ritual to being raised by her very own coven of formidable women. Together they dive into witchcraft, intuition and the divine feminine, before Jinkx opens up about her trans identity and discovering intersexuality within her family. Jinkx also shares how her grandmother judged her drag looks long before RuPaul, the extraordinary prediction her psychic aunt made about her future, and why being visible for young trans people has given her career a much bigger purpose. Plus, astral projection, religious trauma, Practical Magic, finding joy outside of work and what Jinkx is really looking for in a man.
