Happy National Coming Out Day folks!
[Video ID. A personal animatic with audio from the first episode of Smiling Friends. It’s a drawing of me wearing boxers, a binder, and an open button-up flannel shirt. The caption says “Me deciding to fuck around and wear men’s boxers, a binder, flannel, and men’s body spray:” “That…felt…good” is heard from the audio as I slowly start to smile. Next scene. I stand smiling looking down. There’s a whiteboard behind me with “my gender” written over it. There’s various symbols and pride flags on it with short messages on them. The female symbol has “not really???” written on it in red. The male symbol has a red X and “nope” written on it. The genderqueer flag has a green circle and “sure…I guess” written on it in green. The agender, librafem, and demigirl flags all have “maybe???” written on them in yellow. As the musical sting is heard on the audio, the whiteboard gradually changes to show the nonbinary flag with a green smily face next to it. I start to suspect something is amiss and turn my head right as the nonbinary flag shows up and my jaw drops. I stop to think for a moment before shrugging and going “lmao aight I guess.” End ID.]
[Image ID. A version of the “I guess we makin circles now” meme. A drawing of me is standing smiling with my hands on my hips in front of a conveyor belt coming out of a machine called “gender factory.” There is one genderqueer flag but then the three most recent flags that have come out are the nonbinary flag. I say “I guess we doin nonbinary now” End ID.]
[Image ID. a drawing of me with a wide tooth smile giving an enthusiastic thumbs up with the nonbinary flag behind me. A caption says “Lost my personal connection to womanhood!!!” End ID.]
