6.1 ‘So this is a box with a big cross on it and then there’s me on top
and I’m refusing to go into the box because there’s a big cross in
the way. So I’m not being confined into a little box and a little
label about my gender identity because even though I’m quite a
binary trans person, like I’d say I’m a very binary trans person,
I still don’t want to just kind of submit to the cis kind of pressures
that are put on trans people to appear as cisgendered as possible.
So like C. painted my toenails and for me that’s like a huge thing
of resistance because I don’t feel comfortable enough to do it
outside but for me it like feels really good to know that they’re
done like that because I don’t want to conform just because every
cis person thinks that I should. So that’s what mine represents.’ 114
