"I'm a woman who happens to be transgender, who happens to do drag and who happens to be fucking sickening," Quanah Style proudly proclaims in her episode of Canada's a Drag. And that only begins to capture who she is.

She's self-described as "one part fearless club kid and another part powerhouse musician" — blazing a trail for transgender artists with the reality docuseries Quanah: Trans Op, opening for performers like Peaches, Lady Bunny and Buffy Sainte-Marie and working in theatre productions like Zee Theatre's Trans Scripts, Part I.

"Being true to myself means living my life how I want to, unapologetically," Quanah says. "Trying to be somebody you're not is an uncomfortable place to be in in your life. When you are trying to make everybody else happy and [are] overly concerned with what everyone else thinks...it can really wear you down."m
