I created this piece in response to the ways in which people often respond to my drag and self expression. Whenever I first started dressing and doing my makeup in a way that more accurately reflects my gender identity, I started noticing that a lot of people would point and laugh at me. This made me mad and for a while I started dressing up like a clown because I figured that if people were going to laugh at me, I might as well give them something to laugh at. People laughed at me when I dressed up, not because they viewed me as a gender non-conforming person minding my own business, but as a man wearing women's clothes. Mass media has conditioned people to view in one of two contexts: the butt of a joke or a villain who must be stopped. This inaccurate and pervasive perception of my identity in spite of my best efforts to self identify myself as non-binary often led to me being "typecast" as the zany male gay best friend by cis, heterosexual women who invited me to parties because they derived enjoyment from my flamboyant personality, not with interest in me as a human being. The giant penis nose protruding from the mask represents the way in which people often do not view me by my gender identity and instead reduce me to my genitals.
