This one uses a nostalgic Windows XP theme to help articulate my frustration with "passing" as a trans woman.
Gender nonconforming people must negotiate the paradox of gender, uniting it both as a disciplinary regime as well as a radical means of self-expression.
Persimmon the cat here is uncharacteristically chipper and polite, and the dark regions of the window showcase the puppetry involved in this inauthentic performance of femininity.
She's literally framed by blue here, representing the patriarchal gaze that polices masculine and feminine performances.
Patriarchal standards of dress often literally restrict women's range of motion. Performing femininity often requires one to be polite, even though liberatory social change often requires one to be rude.
