So lemme talk about gender for a moment… This was a super important drawing to me.
Above is my new alternate ‘sona, Charlotte. She’s the same as Char, just female. Why? I could easily just dress Char up in feminine clothing, and it would be no different. But, Charlotte has become sort of an experiment for me. I’ve been questioning gender for awhile now, and I think it’s time I actually did something with it.
Right now, I don’t know what gender exactly means to me. Is it just femininity versus masculinity? Or is it something bigger? A male can consider himself male, and still act feminine and vice-versa. So what would draw the line for me to consider myself female? Is it just my body? How I look?
I know gender is a complicated, serious issue, so before I just slap a label on myself as genderfluid, I want to use Charlotte to experiment with a feminine side. I do not want to make light of gender. I don’t know if this feeling I’ve had with wanting to explore femininity is fetish related, a phase of interest, or gender related. I don’t want to make light of those who have serious gender dysphoria, but at the same time, I want to explore the possibility of being gender fluid myself. I don’t want to wear the label like an accessory, but I want to wear the accessories that go with the label.
Lately, I’ve seen beautiful women everywhere, and I’ve been finding myself thinking things like, “Wow, I wish I looked like her,” or “Those clothes are really cute. I wish I had the body to wear them.” And I’ve had this love-hate relationship with my body. I like having a beard and chest hair on some occasions, but on others, I feel like I want to get rid of all my body hair and wear makeup to cover my masculine features.
It’s these sort of thoughts that have caused me to create this new aspect of Char. That necklace around Charlotte’s neck here allows her to change gender upon wearing it. It’s the gender fluidity I want to explore. She’ll be free to put it on or take it off at will, and will depending on how I feel, and hopefully allow me to explore gender.
I hope this exploration of gender identity will give me insight about myself.
