Peppermint In Traitors Season 2
Peppermint became the first out transgender woman to originate a lead role on Broadway in 2018, immediately following her appearance on Drag Race. She was cast in the Broadway production of Head Over Heels. She also wanted to compete on the show ‘Traitors’ to represent the trans community. She told in an interview,
“It’s not lost on me that in addition to me being the only Black trans woman in this house, that this might be the first time a Black trans woman has gone into the houses of the viewers of this show, and that’s important to me to make an impression, whether I’m a Traitor or not”
She also wrote on her Instagram account, “When I was asked to be on one of my favorite reality TV shows, the traitors, I was so stoked because murder mysteries are an absolute fantasy for me. Also given how many attacks there are on the lgbtq+ community it’s important for me to let people see a transgender person in action before they make the decision on whether it should be legal or not for us to go to the bathroom, or be on a sports team, or get healthcare. I understand this is a big platform so I want to make the community proud #traitors🗡”.
