I wanna be beautiful – beautiful like my mother.
I am talking about the beauty which is not only defined by our both optical appearances, but also by her achievements, characteristics, and experiences.
This beautiful body I have been once one. Now a foreign body.
Female clothes embody a row of characteristics that our society despises, and you can tell that a man who imitates the codes of an oppressed class
is seen as ridiculous.
Why is masculinity being questioned if the person imitates the tenderness, the beauty, the characteristics of their mother?
The origin of life that you used to be part of.
Don’t be ashamed wearing female clothes. Don’t be ashamed being tender. Don’t be ashamed being like your mother. There is absolutely nothing shameful being (like) a woman.
