How am I not myself submission
work in progress for While on Earth self portrait show
sketches for larger work
To be seen as myself by others, do I have to change my authentic self? How is my reality as a trans person invalidated by others perceptions of me? If everyone sees me as a woman, do I have to change my authentic self to be seen as more of who I am? And if strangers start to see me as a masculine person, am I still myself if I have changed for them?
