Neither FTMs nor drag kings--though for the most part they pass as men--these wonderfully articulate women speak with charm, humor, and bold honesty about class, race, gender, and their own womanhood.

There's not much I could possibly do about that," while Octavia unapologetically pronounces, "lf you don't like the lifestyle I'm living, then kiss my ass and keep moving."
