Sex. Gender. Gender Identity. Gender Expression. The words I kept in my mind drawing this doodle. What I chose to draw: Me (as best as I can) Why did I choose to draw myself with these words and thoughts in mind? I chose to draw myself because I am the only one in control of my gender/gender identity/expression. I would never imagine to tell someone else how they should express their gender, as I would never expect someone else to tell me. In my adulthood anyhow. That’s the beauty I find in gender expression. This is what I feel I look like on a daily basis. Casual. Nothing super feminine nor super masculine. I dress for myself and my own comfort. That’s what’s it’s all about right? Being comfortable with myself. I can genuinely say that I am. I definitely have days where I have moments with low self esteem/confidence. I know that the first thing I have to know is that I love myself. BECAUSE how can you love anybody, if you don’t love yourself? Amen. I’ve reclaimed my own beauty and I’ve taken it for myself. Some days I dress myself up with makeup and blouses and dresses and other days I dress tee shirt, leggings, no makeup. I’m still me. Still how I express myself. Still beautiful. Still worthy. -Meg
