Who is Peppermint on 'I Am Jazz'?

Less than halfway through the season of the reality series, she came out to her fellow competitors in the Werk Room as transgender, explaining that she was able to "realize my transness" through the art of drag performing.

Peppermint is no stranger to being first. A few months after she finished as the runner-up on Drag Race, the drag performer became the first trans woman to create a principal role on Broadway. She was cast in Tony-winning director Michael Mayer's 2018 original musical Head Over Heels. Via a telephone interview, she discussed the role and told them., "It's a dream come true. It's an honor. I've been sharpening my knives as an activist and a performer all my life, and I'm ready to use my platform."
