Be who you are, not PERFECTIONISM.
Instagram and other social media are tools to build an identity for the gender-fluid group; Social media has become the most standard platform for making voices and spreading thoughts.
Many gender-fluid influencers prefer to wear colorful, crazy outfits that 'break the rules'; They show a potential to display more on their unique body features. Sometimes gender-fluid influencers show uncertainty and ambivalence about their gender identities. Still, they leave impressions of confidence in who they are, willing to make a voice for themselves and the group.
On the one hand, gender-fluid influencers create positive effects for the group's rights;
on the other hand, they create new stereotypes of all queers, or gender-fluid people are confident and bold to express themselves. Gender fluid is someone's life, not just a trend or an expression, and this new stereotype - brave androgynous personality poisons the imagination of gender fluidity.

In the second part, character being trapped in this positive, colourful, yet dizzy illusion. He feel lost.“ Who am I? Where am I? ”
Last part, this queer protagonist find self-identity is not only about polished outlook and positive attitudes; one can be emotional, fragile. There’s no common rules for becoming oneself, whether you are male, female, gender-fluid, the most important thing is to know who you are, and become yourself.

“They are brave”
“They are all excellent”
“Their instagram show a rich life& attract a lot of people attention”
“They wear gorgeous clothes,
I feel their uninhibited attitude”
"They all show a kind of androgyny"
“They are not afraid of other people's judgements”
But isn't this positive illusion a new stereotype ?

I fall into a whimsical kaleidoscope.
I am free from that boundary, Colour, dresses, eyeshadow, heels.
I become the rabbit in the wonderland
Everything is bold,
Everything is fluid
I am trapped in the dizzy kaleidoscope,
It's getting hotter,
Who am I? Where am I?
Colour, dresses, eyeshadow, heels,
I am lost,
We all wear beautiful masks
It’s a perfect illusionI live in a complex kaleidoscope, Beautiful, Ugly, He, She, They, Colour, dresses, eyeshadow, heels, Correct, Wrong,
Nothing really matters,
I am me once more.
