Male Mind Matters

Cheddar Gorgeous: A Legacy Of Kindness And Service (Part Two)

James Sutton Season 1 Episode 16

In this episode, we continue our conversation with the remarkable Cheddar Gorgeous - Drag Artist, thinker, and provocateur. We take a look at what drives them, the meaning of purpose, the tension between joy and struggle, and the role of masculinity in a world that often fears difference.

We also chat about the beauty of Manchester, the roots of drag, and how it connects people beyond performance. But we also tackle the darker side - how drag has become a target for moral outrage, the rise of transphobia, and why history warns us that once they come for the most vulnerable, the rest of us aren't far behind.
