Trans-Masc Butch
[Artist Statement] Tell us more about your photo by sharing a brief artist statement OR answering this prompt: "This is what being ______ means to me..." (Max. 100 words)
The Butch is the greatest love story of all time, the greatest poem, the sweetest, most ancient story; she/he/they make my heart beat faster, give me butterflies, and remind me of the wet, rich soil of the Earth.
[Visual Description] Describe your photo so we can provide alt-text. Example: "Two women holding hands and smiling as they walk in a pride parade, surrounded by rainbow flags."
An olive-skinned, freckled trans-masculine butch with a black curly mullet, is lying on their side on a bed. He has green eyes. He is gazing into the camera, with his head resting on his hand; as they are propped up by their arm. They are wearing a black vest, blue jeans, a silver chain round his neck; with a nose ring and other hoop earrings. They are in their bedroom.
