Drag RaceĀ franchise has finally crowned its first ever cis woman winner, as Pandora Nox has just wonĀ Drag Race Germany.
In addition to being the first AFAB (assigned female at birth) queen to win any franchise, the 30-year-old drag star is also first to win theĀ Drag Race GermanyĀ franchise -- as the inaugural season began in September 2023.
In 2021,Ā Drag Race UKĀ competitorĀ Victoria SconeĀ became the first AFAB contestant on any franchise, but she was forced to leave the contest after suffering an injury.
Scone returned forĀ Canada Vs. The WorldĀ last year, where she made the final, before being beaten byĀ Rajah O'Hara.
Earlier this year, Clover Bish became the second cis woman to compete on the franchise, onĀ Drag Race EspaƱaĀ -- butĀ fans felt she received unfairly poor treatment, and she finished in fifth place.
Pandora Nox was an immediate fan favourite after entering theĀ Drag Race GermanyĀ werk room, winning both the mini and maxi challenge in the first episode. She went on to win the season's ball challenge, as well as the runway in episode four.
She placed in the bottom twice, but also received positive critiques on several of the episodes she didn't ultimately win.
In the final episode of the season on Monday (20 November), Pandora performed a dance number to RuPaul's song "Call Me Mother" alongside the other two finalists, Metamorkid and Yvonne Nightstand.
Then, after a final lip-sync toĀ EurovisionĀ icon Conchita Wurst's song "Rise Like a Phoenix", Pandora Nox was announced as the winner -- much to fan delight.
"SHE DID IT SHE DID IT SHE DID IT," exclaimed one overwhelmed fan. "Herstory has been made with Pandora Nox becoming the first ever cis woman to win. I couldn't be more happier with how it ended. She deserves the world and beyond."
"We will have a lesbian in theĀ Drag RaceĀ hall of fame. Pandora Nox, you will always be famous," another declared.
"First AFAB winner! Let's go, kitty power," a third shared.
Cis women dominatingĀ Drag Race: check. Now, it'sĀ time to see some drag kings cast.

This bioqueen b-word is legit insane, spent the whole season talking about how she is recovering from an """abusive relationship""" and wants to open a shelter for stray dogs. But she was slightly less boring than the other crackers there, god what a boring season. Regardless she wasn't really the first if you count landon cider winning dragula, but who watches dragula. Drag is no fun anymore because it is all just women and Women now. It was funner before when they were broken twinks dancing for money and being mean. Watch Paris Is Burning

Old school LGB were so badass back in the day. They were punk as frick and didn't care what people said (at least those willing to out themselves) what happened?

Slight necropost but the cool ones mostly died of AIDS + being gay became championed by really annoying and boring people.
