The chrome lighter a glint in their eye, the chain clanking as they pull me closer for a kiss. So much of trans masc dyke identity is coded through our fashion, through collecting and expressing with accessories that are more than a statement - that once kept us safe and connected. We’re taking a break from the rave in a bathroom stall that now feels like the entire world. Captured not long before the titular wish was realised.
[Visual Description] Describe your photo so we can provide alt-text. Example: "Two women holding hands and smiling as they walk in a pride parade, surrounded by rainbow flags."
A white trans masc person sits on the toilet in a club bathroom stall, their blue jorts on their knees, a chain with cross attachments hanging off the belt loop. Their hand holds their waistband, a chrome lighter clutched in their palm, reflecting off a chain bracelet. They're wearing black underwear, the fcuk waistband is visible.
