This maternal influence extended to Goode's childhood theater experiences, where exposure to costumes and performance fostered an early obsession with hair, makeup, and feminine presentation. Goode's relationship with her father was initially strained due to his religious convictions, leading to disapproval of her drag pursuits and a broader "shaky" dynamic, though he later conveyed in her achievements, marking a .

Evolution of gender identity

During her appearance on RuPaul's Drag Race season 12, which aired in 2020, Goode publicly identified as gender-fluid for the first time on the show, stating in an April 7 episode, "I don't think I've ever said this out loud, but I think I'm fluid. Sometimes I identify as more male and sometimes I identify as more female." Goode later recounted in a June 2020 interview that she had been aware of her gender differences from a young age, with her mother reporting signs as early as age three or four, though Goode noted limited personal memories from that period. Following the show, Goode's self-identification evolved toward the nonbinary spectrum within her gender-fluid framework. In a September 2021 interview, she described leaning "more towards the side" while still embracing fluidity, influenced in part by exposure to media like the series Veneno, which depicted experiences and prompted deeper reflection.

This step followed her earlier identification as genderfluid during RuPaul's Drag Race season 12 in 2020, evolving into a trans self-conception by August 2021, when she publicly detailed the process via video. Goode has reported preferring she/her pronouns post-HRT, attributing the decision to long-term alleviated by medical intervention, though empirical data on long-term outcomes for adult-onset transitions remains limited and debated in beyond self-reported satisfaction.

Criticisms from fans and observers

Some fans criticized Gigi Goode's participation in RuPaul's Drag Race season 12 for perceived production favoritism, contending she secured undeserved challenge victories and a runner-up position through weaker performances in lip-syncs and comedy tasks compared to competitors like Jaida Essence Hall. Online discussions portrayed her as arrogant and overly reliant on basic costume elements rather than innovative fashion, fueling broader resentment among viewers who viewed her as emblematic of uneven judging. Persistent rumors among fans alleged Goode violated competition rules by renting external space to rehearse her finale lip-sync on May 31, 2020, prompting production to threaten disqualification and legal action, though no formal penalty was imposed, which intensified accusations of preferential treatment.

Regarding her 2021 as trans , select observers on fan platforms questioned its authenticity, noting the announcement followed her viewing of the series Veneno and speculating it reflected trend-following rather than organic self-discovery.

Broader cultural debates surrounding her career

Gigi Goode's exploration of gender fluidity, first publicly articulated during the April 2020 episode of RuPaul's Drag Race season 12, exemplified ongoing tensions within drag culture over whether performance personas reflect deeper personal identities or remain confined to artistic expression. Goode stated, "I think I really always carry some sense of female and male, even when I'm in non-drag," positioning drag as a venue for authentic self-examination rather than mere exaggeration of gender norms. This disclosure aligned with scholarly analyses of Drag Race as a platform that constructs fluid gender categories, where queens like Goode challenge rigid binaries through statements emphasizing teetering between male and female throughout life. Her 2021 coming out as trans , accompanied by and a change to while preferring she/her pronouns, intensified discussions on the porous boundary between 's temporary femininity—rooted in gay male subculture—and pathways to medical transition. Goode's progression, including initiated around 2020 and in 2023, has been contextualized in broader critiques of as a potential precursor to realization, particularly among young performers exposed to intensified gender ideology via media like the series Veneno, which she credited for clarifying her . Such trajectories underscore causal patterns observed in communities, where correlates with subsequent shifts, prompting debates on whether fosters genuine self-discovery or amplifies social influences on impressionable participants amid rising identifications. These developments parallel wider cultural frictions in LGBTQ+ spaces, including RuPaul's historical resistance to fully integrating women into narratives—viewing as emphatically for "men who love women" rather than those seeking to live as women—while Goode's case highlights how and visibility can accelerate personal transitions, raising empirical questions about long-term outcomes absent rigorous longitudinal data on performer rates or psychological post-intervention. Her intertwining rights with success, as in statements affirming "Trans Lives Matter," further embeds her career in politicized narratives equating performance with , often critiqued for conflating entertainment with therapeutic or medical imperatives despite limited tying exposure directly to resolution.
