“This story portraits the struggle of a perturbed man, who is fond of make-up and dressing up. But he’s afraid of Society, which mocks him. After facing his fears, he decides to stand up against the gender biased formula of society, conveying the significance of gender-neutral costumes and makeup for all, as well as the politics surrounding gender neutrality”.
