QuotesEdit

"There's this idea that masculinity is inherently the neutral—that to be really nonbinary, you have to adhere to this standard that fits a white, skinny, masculine presenting body. I was talking with a friend recently about how I sometimes wish that I had a flatter chest so I could look more androgynous, and they cut me off in the middle of my sentence and were like: Breasts aren’t inherently gendered. This was a good reminder that bodies are bodies and gender is a construct. But truthfully? I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with modeling. I’ll feel really sexy, then my Christian shame kicks in and I think: Oh God, everyone on the internet has seen my butt."
