Fixed the gender pronouns to be consistant with a drag persona.

Well, changed would be a better description than fixed. The 'persona' is female, the 'person' is still male. I can't find any disclaimer of that herein. The name "Jon Ingle" redirects to the article. He might be tickled to have been so convincing, but ...

Well, it is considered courtesy to use the female pronouns when one is in drag, and it's pretty much an insult if you refer to them as "he". I know some don't mind, but it really is she by default.

It is considered in the drag world and the gay community innapproriate and disrepectful to refer to a drag queen by "he" by nature (there are exceptions) but also lady bunny has made it clear her preference in the matter (refer to her interviews over the years). this may violate wikipedia guidelines but this is one part of the world where it really does matter being refered to as a he, esp if you are very passing in a conservative community could get yourself hurt or worse. please respect the voices of a community, and if you are not of the drag community you really don't have much say in the matter in my opinion.
