Statement The hermaphroditic body is my body. I have the lady penis and the fat girl titties. I’m hidden. I’m passing. I present as a very fat man, which no one likes, vaguely disgusts some, and is otherwise dismissible. I don’t feel entirely resolved or certain about it. I’m feeling it out. Moving in the directions that feel good and make sense. The hermaphroditic body is my body. I have the atrophied penis and the fat man boobs. I aspire to the glitter vagina. Remaking the Doddering and Malicious Turds in my image feels empowering. Subversive. Maybe it makes them into what they hate or fear. Or into the subject of their own discriminatory policies. It felt good and right to make these works. This is it. Do your worst.
