PASSING PRIDE
Pride began as a protest. Today, visibility is conditional.
Who passes? Who is protected? Who is policed?
Which forms of masculinity are rewarded, and which are erased?
Which forms of femininity are considered acceptable, and which are weaponised?
Across identities, we are pressured to conform to gender constructs in ways that make us legitimate, mainstream, and non-threatening. Passing can be survival. Passing can be a privilege. Passing can be camouflage. Passing can be a mask we don’t want to wear.
