“I Feel Violated”: Drag Race Star Aja Threatens Legal Action After Shocking Passport Gender Change
In a move that’s left fans outraged and the LGBTQ+ community shaken, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10 contestant Aja has come forward with a disturbing claim: their passport’s gender marker was allegedly altered without consent — and changed to “male.”
The non-binary performer, known for their electric presence on stage and bold activism off it, took to social media to share their frustration, fury, and plans for potential legal action. “This is not just a mistake — it’s a violation,” Aja posted, their words reverberating across Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).
Aja, who identifies as non-binary and has long used she/they pronouns, says they were blindsided when reviewing the updated documents. “I applied for a renewal — not a redefinition of my identity,” they explained in a video, visibly distressed. “To see my gender marker changed without my knowledge or approval was devastating.”
The performer alleges that the passport, originally reflecting their correct gender identity, was returned with the marker “M” for male — a step backwards for someone who’s spent years affirming their identity in a society that often refuses to understand it.
What makes the ordeal even more alarming is the implication of bureaucratic overreach. Aja suggested that this change may have stemmed from an official decision without consultation, raising serious questions about how gender markers are reviewed, challenged, or even overwritten by institutions meant to serve and protect.
“This isn’t just about a passport,” Aja said. “This is about bodily autonomy. This is about identity. This is about trans and non-binary people being told — again — that we don’t exist unless someone else says we do.”
The incident arrives amid rising tensions around transgender and non-binary rights globally, with many governments pushing back against inclusive policies. In the U.S., debates over gender-affirming care, ID laws, and recognition of non-binary identities are making headlines — and Aja’s case is now center stage.
Legal experts say if Aja’s claims are accurate, it could set a precedent for privacy and identity-based lawsuits against federal departments. “A gender marker change without consent might not just be unethical — it could be unconstitutional,” said civil rights attorney Marla Gutierrez. “This could be considered a breach of personal liberty and administrative process.”
Aja has not yet filed formal legal papers, but confirmed they are consulting with lawyers. “This isn’t just about me. It’s about everyone who’s been silenced or dismissed by institutions that are supposed to reflect our truths,” they declared.
Fans and fellow Drag Race alums have flooded Aja’s posts with support. Messages like “We love you” and “Fight for your truth!” fill the comment sections. One fan wrote, “Aja is doing what many of us wish we could — standing up against erasure.”
As this story unfolds, Aja’s fight is becoming more than a personal battle. It’s a flashpoint in the broader struggle for non-binary and trans recognition — and a wake-up call for everyone who believes identity should be defined by the individual, not the state.
Stay tuned. Aja isn’t backing down — and this time, the spotlight is shining on a much bigger stage.
