Imogen said: ‘It took about three months to start seeing and feeling the physical and emotional changes. My home has always been a safe space for me. ‘I initially came out to my friends then when they were okay with it, it gave me the confidence to come out to my family. Imogen said: ‘Back when I realised I was a woman, I didn’t even know being trans was possible. Shortly after quitting drag, Imogen began considering medically transitioning into a woman. ‘I just wore enough to make me feel confident.’ ‘Even though I presented as male, I still had a full face of makeup except lipstick. ‘At that point, I presented myself outwardly as male – but drag gave me the power to really start embracing myself. ‘It helped me to escape, release and gave me clarity over my gender identity. ‘The only time I felt completely and authentically happy back then was when I was in drag. ‘I always knew it meant something more to me than him and the other performers. ‘When I was 21, I lived in the heart of the city on the gay strip and joined my partner at the time doing drag.
