Kendall Gender is the stage name of Kenneth Wyse,[1] a drag performer and one of the contestants of the second season of Canada's Drag Race.
Drag Name Origin
"My name out of drag is ‘Kenneth’, so Ken-Doll/ Kendall is actually a nickname that I got in high school. So when I started drag it was kind of just a natural fit. The last name, is a play on words, to fit in with my obsession with pop culture, and to enforce the idea that gender is a construct."[7]
