I feel like I've been in and out of the labels, as first identifying as bisexual and not really knowing how to fit in in the world. I had an almost complicated relationship with identifying as gay, just being a lesbian. I thought at the beginning that I have to be really butch and masculine [to be gay], whereas that's not really me. I like being feminine and stuff, but it doesn't erase anything of who I am. But yeah, just existing [as a lesbian now]... I have a lot of tattoos, and I kind of wanted tattoos that represent [my identity] as well. Like I have Sappho on my arm... I think there’s kind of a strange identity in itself where when you go to kind of queer friendly spaces and stuff like that of this... this want for someone to know that you’re queer and part of that community just by looking at you. And I like to think I present that way. It’s that kind of thing where I’ve asked my sister and my friends like, “do you think if you didn’t know me, would you think I’m queer? Just by looking at me?” I feel like that almost kind of fuels into what I wear as well. That’s what I want as well... I suppose just kind of existing as myself and existing happily, that’s my resistance. That’s my happy resistance.
