Made famous by the documentary Paris is Burning and the TV series Pose , ballroom culture was created almost entirely by Black and Latinx trans women and gay men. Rejected by their biological families and mainstream society, they created "houses" (families) where they competed in "balls." Categories like "Realness" were designed specifically to allow trans women to walk and appear as cisgender women for safety and glory. This culture gave birth to the drag vernacular heard on RuPaul’s Drag Race (though the show has a complicated history with trans contestants) and influenced mainstream pop music from Madonna to Beyoncé. shemale bride pictures top
