I'm starting a Conchita Wurst fandom

As with most countries outside of Austria, Conchita Wurst has been brought to my attention after winning the Eurovision, but I wish I knew about her earlier. Conchita Wurst is genderfluid, and represents herself* as Conchita when performing and being a celebrity, and Tom whilst "relaxing at home". Conchita says she likes that she can be Tom, as people don't recognise her on public transport and she can say what she wants.

Conchita's amazing winning performance!

Conchita was born in Columbia (Wikipedia falsely says Australia), as stated in an interview, however moved to Austria at a young age. The 25-year-old speaks Austrian and English. The same year the persona of Chonchita was created, she graduated from the Graz School of Fashion, and has lived in various locations in Vienna. In 2011, the persona of Conchita was created, and upon her TV appearance she stated, "This is about an important message, it's call for tolerance for everything that seems different. The performer compares the choice of last name to the common German expression 'Das ist mir doch alles Wurst,' which translates as 'it's all the same to me' and 'I don't care'.

Rise like a phoenix? Rise like Conchita!

On 10 September 2013, it was announced that Wurst would represent Austria at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014, to be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, after being selected by the Austrian national broadcaster ORF. Wurst's selection sparked controversy in Austria. Four days after ORF announced its decision, more than 31,000 people liked an "Anti-Wurst" Facebook page. However, regardless of the negativity, Wurst went on to win Eurovision in Copenhagen, with 290 points. It was great to see such an inspiring, non-binary, person being supported by hundreds of millions of people.
Upon winning the Eurovision singing contest, "This night is dedicated to everyone who believes in a future of peace and freedom. You know who you are. We are unity, and we are unstoppable!"

*I use female pronouns as that is how she represents herself to the public
