\n\"Christina<\/p>\n

VH1 has\u00a0 released a brand new trailer for RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race Season 10 showcasing some of the upcoming queens and judges. Watch it above.<\/p>\n

On the new season, which begins March 22, Asia O\u2019Hara\u00a0(Dallas, TX),\u00a0Aquaria\u00a0(Brooklyn, NY),\u00a0Blair St. Clair\u00a0(Indianapolis, IN),\u00a0Dusty Ray Bottoms\u00a0(New York, NY),\u00a0Eureka O\u2019Hara\u00a0(Johnson City, TN),\u00a0Kalorie Karbdashian-Williams\u00a0(<\/wbr>Albuquerque, NM),\u00a0Kameron Michaels\u00a0(Nashville, TN),\u00a0Mayhem Miller\u00a0(Riverside, CA),\u00a0Miz Cracker\u00a0(New York, NY),\u00a0Mon\u00e9t X Change(Bronx, NY), Monique Heart\u00a0(Kansas City, MO),\u00a0The Vixen\u00a0(Chicago, IL),\u00a0Vanessa Vanjie Mateo\u00a0(Tampa, FL), and\u00a0Yuhua Hamasaki\u00a0(New York, NY) will be competing for the top prize.<\/p>\n

Headlining the judges line-up this season is Christina Aguilera who shows up in the trailer in a cotton candy pink ensemble. She\u2019ll be joined by\u00a0\u00a0Shania Twain, Lena Dunham, Abbi Jacobson & Ilana Glazer, Kumail Nanjiani & Emily V. Gordon, and Billy Eichner.<\/p>\n

Kate Upton, Halsey,\u00a0Padma Lakshmi, Courtney Love, Nico Tortorella, Audra McDonald, Ashanti, Logan Browning, Tisha Campbell-Martin, Carrie Preston, Andrew Rannells, Miles Heizer, Todrick Hall and Lizzo will also be guest judging, while\u00a0Stephen Colbert, Andy Cohen, and Cheyenne Jackson are set to make guest appearances.<\/p>\n

In related news, RuPaul this week expressed regret to the transgender community<\/a> following backlash over\u00a0an interview he gave to\u00a0The Guardian<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in which he said he would \u201cprobably not\u201d allow a transgender woman<\/a> who had undergone gender confirmation surgery to compete on RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race.<\/p>\n

When asked if he\u2019d let a biological woman<\/a> compete on the show, RuPaul\u00a0told\u00a0The Guardian<\/em><\/a>:\u00a0\u201cDrag loses its sense of danger and its sense of irony once it\u2019s not men<\/a> doing it, because at its core it\u2019s a social statement and a big f-you to male<\/a>-dominated culture. So for men<\/a> to do it, it\u2019s really punk rock, because it\u2019s a real rejection of masculinity.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was then asked how a transgender woman<\/a> could then be a drag queen, referencing Peppermint, a contestant from Season 9:\u00a0\u201cMmmm. It\u2019s an interesting area. Peppermint didn\u2019t get breast implants until after she left our show; she was identifying as a woman<\/a>, but she hadn\u2019t really transitioned.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if he would accept a contestant who had physically transitioned, RuPaul replied,\u00a0\u201cProbably not. You can identify as a woman<\/a> and say you\u2019re transitioning, but it changes once you start changing your body. It takes on a different thing; it changes the whole concept of what we\u2019re doing. We\u2019ve had some girls<\/a> who\u2019ve had some injections in the face and maybe a little bit in the butt<\/a> here and there, but they haven\u2019t transitioned.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following backlash from the trans<\/a> community and allies, RuPaul doubled down, tweeting: \u201cYou can take performance enhancing drugs and still be an athlete, just not in the Olympics.\u201d<\/p>\n

The remarks drew plenty of ire from former contestants:<\/p>\n

My drag was born in a community full of trans<\/a> women<\/a>, trans<\/a> men<\/a>, and gender non-conforming folks doing drag. That\u2019s the real world of drag, like it or not. I thinks it\u2019s fabulous and I will fight my entire life to protect and uplift it.<\/p>\n

Trans women<\/a> were the first entertainers I ever saw in drag & have always been a big part of the industry. To now hear such words of segregation from an icon who has created a world wide community of unity, makes me sad. Is never been LGB so let\u2019s not forget about the T!<\/p>\n

Former Drag Race queen Willam wrote on Instagram<\/a>: \u2018We work with trans<\/a> women<\/a> every night side by side and for them to be denied the opportunities because of someone\u2019s narrowminded view on what they call<\/a> \u201cdrag\u201d is fucked<\/a>. And to my sisters who read this- doing the right thing ain\u2019t always easy, but it\u2019ll help u sleep at night. My motto is no sister left behind. I practice it every time i visit Mathu and when i stood up for him with the Emmy\u2019s. Hell i did it in the airport yesterday with\u00a0@therealtsmadison<\/a>\u00a0when we was running for our flight. Do something. Do it. Tag your favorite Ru Girls. I\u2019ll start. Don\u2019t let this slide. This is discrimination within our own community.\u00a0@theonlyalaska5000<\/a>@thebiancadelrio<\/a>\u00a0@bobthedragqueen<\/a>@bebezahara<\/a>\u00a0@tyrasanchez<\/a>\u00a0@thejinkx<\/a>@sutanamrull<\/a>\u00a0@violetchachki<\/a>\u00a0@sashavelour<\/a>@sharonneedlespgh<\/a>\u00a0@chadmichaelsallstar<\/a>\u2018<\/p>\n

RuPaul suggested on Twitter Monday night that he\u2019s listening.<\/p>\n

Tweeted RuPaul: \u201cEach morning I pray to set aside everything I THINK I know, so I may have an open mind and a new experience. I understand and regret the hurt I have caused. The trans<\/a> community are heroes of our shared LGBTQ movement. You are my teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIn the 10 years we\u2019ve been casting Drag Race, the only thing we\u2019ve ever screened for is charisma uniqueness nerve and talent. And that will never change.\u201d<\/p>\n
