Represent Me Challenge

Hello, I’m Jake. I ed recently and thought this challenge would be a fun introduction. I’m excited to be part of this community.

What color represents you?

I’m an infrared ray because I’m too low energy to be seen by anyone

What animal represents you?

Giant Australian cuttlefish because the smaller males sometimes disguise themselves as female. If that doesn’t describe the experience of the closeted trans man I don’t know what does

What movie character represents you?

Rumpelstiltskin from shrek because he’s short, angry, and full of himself.

What aesthtic represents you?

Vacation dadcore. I’m on Miami time 24/7

What disney character represents you?

Hercules. I don’t even know where to begin. ‘Go the distance’ describes my experience perfectly. His relationship with Phil is a lot like my relationship with my mentors. Even Meg reminds me of my crush. Dare I say, he’s just like me fr?

What superhero represents you?

Robin, but only the Teen Titans Go version. No one takes him seriously. He’s short. Baby hands. Takes himself too seriously. Dare I say, he’s just like me fr?

What flag represents you?

Trans flag. Honestly, it’s so weird for me to say that. I’ve never seen myself as trans. I just see myself as a man. More like, a Ken head on a Barbie body. But my experience so far has been that of a trans man. And I’m taking steps to accepting this about myself

This was a fun challenge. It made me look at some things differently. That’s all for now 🤙
