😏🤔I was raised NOT to express my opinions or feelings - unless they conformed to the majority or what my parents thought. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 😆🎙Stand-up feels different to music as it actively encourages the expression of opinions and feelings. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈❤️‍🩹 I’m really grateful to @besea.n for giving me the space to share my stand-up, music & video! I commented that we need more trans / non binary stand-up representation and they responded in a transformative way!⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈❤️‍🩹 Being trans, queer, gen x & neurodivergent has meant extra difficulties in terms of connecting with my heritage & community. It meant so much to... BE SEEN (by besea.n!!!) as an artist and as a person.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ❤️‍🔥😎 I wish I’d met @itsvivyau @maianhpeterson @wukarlie @_amy_pix Charley, Izzy, Peiwen @davidkamkw Pippa, @alrightpetalflowers Kai and all you supportive ESEA queer, trans folks & allies 25 years ago! Or when I was a child! 🥰🥰🥰⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I’m glad I have the pleasure of meeting you in what feels like my 11th life time ! 😍⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Hope you liked the apples!⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🍎🤗🍎⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ Photo by @IamTimChung #ESEAhm2022 #CelebratingYou⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ___⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ID ⁣⁣⁣ I’m a British born Chinese gen x transqueerian mollusc. Slide 1, I’m at the piano after stand-up. Slide 2, I’m taking a bow by the piano while the audience show their appreciation! We’re inside a large room with a delicate cream floral & tiled patterned style wallpaper. I’m wearing a black leather jacket, Karlie Wu’s ESEA mythical beasts t shirt & a dark red beanie. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ___⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ #BESEA #standUp #LGBTIQA #TransStandUp #nonbinary #QueerAsian #Chinese #Squid #TransArtist #QueerArtist #Performer
