"Beauty to me means freedom. Freedom to express the beauty that lies within gender fluidity and gender bending. Because I fall on the non-binary scale, just based solely off of my physical appearance, I've learned to accept the beauty that is the ability to be so fluid and love all sides of my self. Whether that be my more feminine presenting side or my more masculine features. My community has shown me that my uniqueness is what makes me beautiful.
My idea of beauty has changed drastically as I've matured. In a world where everyone is running out to get work done to look like one another, I've realised it's in our differences that make someone truly beautiful. As corny as it sounds, beauty is truly from within. What makes someone beautiful to me is how kind and empathic they are in such a crazy world." — Jazmine Miyake Mugler, model and makeup artist
