City Beat features Jessica Dimon, a local transgender woman and prominent Cincinnati drag queen, in its “Thoroughly Modern Women’s Issue.” Dimon, tagged as an “ordinary girl” by the story’s author, details her early life, drag career and transition.

“Most transgender people I know don’t like [their penis] and they want to get it cut off. I never had that thought; I just knew that I identified as a female,” Dimon says in the article. “That’s the most crazy thing about me: Most people think I want to have that surgery [vaginoplasty], but I probably will never have it.”
