In 2021, Flores was a cast member on the sixth season of the American reality-television series Queer Eye.[1][2] Following her appearances on Queer Eye, Flores's social media following rapidly grew.[3]
Flores is a competitive powerlifter and coaches Olympic weightlifting.[3][4] She trains in various gyms, including Club, the queer-run gym Liberation Barbell.[3] In 2021, she held the record for deadlifting 402 pounds.[5] She was training to compete in the 2022 Violet Crown Classic in Austin, Texas, until the United States Powerlifting Association changed its policy on the inclusion of transgender athletes.[6][7]
In 2024, she spoke out against stigma and discrimination towards transgender athletes.[4] She stated that hormone-replacement therapy can lessen people's athletic and physical abilities and expressed that transgender athletes therefore do not have a physical advantage over their cisgender peers.[4] Flores also advocates for hormone-replacement therapy as a way to improve the mental health of transgender people.[4]
