British model and social influencer Reece King struggled with his sexuality as a teenager, unsure of where he stood. He told Paper magazine that he thought he was asexual for a while because he didn't have a preference. Being biracial and bisexual wasn't easy, but he finally came to terms with who he was.
"I don't really care if it's a woman or a man, because it doesn't make a difference if I'm in love," he said. "I knew what I liked in my head, but when it came to real life, I didn't really know how to interact." Reece classifies himself as a digital model and artist and is known for using the art of his Instagram to navigate his masculinity using feminine aspects to create a comfortability within his queer identity.
"I want to make people think, especially about their preconceived notions of gender as a strict binary. I don't think of gender as a box you tick, and I certainly don't think of myself in a box anymore," he told Dazed Digital. His play with makeup and costume explores the fluidity of gender expression and challenges the perception of identity.
