Drag Race franchise has finally crowned its first ever cis woman winner, as Pandora Nox has just won 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 the Drag Race Germany franchise -- as the inaugural season began in September 2023.
In 2021, Drag Race UK competitor Victoria Scone became the first AFAB contestant on any franchise, but she was forced to leave the contest after suffering an injury.
Scone returned for Canada Vs. The World last year, where she made the final, before being beaten by Rajah O'Hara.
Earlier this year, Clover Bish became the second cis woman to compete on the franchise, on Drag Race España -- but fans felt she received unfairly poor treatment, and she finished in fifth place.
Pandora Nox was an immediate fan favourite after entering the Drag Race Germany 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 to Eurovision 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 the Drag Race 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 dominating Drag Race: check. Now, it's time to see some drag kings cast.

Isn't that just dressing like a cheap whore? Plenty of
do that without feeling the need to call it "drag".

No, I once had a fricking foid acquaintance who did this. Female drag queens apparently need to dress up like a fricking cheap whore (male) in such a fricking way that they get mistaken for men using makeup to pass themselves off as cheap whores (female). It's as subtle as the fricking difference between makeup and clown makeup
