Frida smoked, boxed, won tequila challenges against men, and dressed like a man in a family portrait, contrasting to her mother and sisters who wore dresses. She refused to alter her ‘masculine’ features, including her mono-brow and faint moustache, and actually exaggerated these features in her self portraits. She once wrote in her diary “of my face, I like my eyebrows and eyes”. She never claimed to be anything other than a female who did not give a fuck about your gender roles, stereotypes, and definitions. Frida deviated from the traditional depiction of female beauty in art and instead chose to paint raw and honest experiences that so many women face. Her subject matter included abortion, miscarriage, birth and breastfeeding, among other things, often seen as taboo and like many female experiences altogether ignored. ‘Frida hates terfs! MY ASS. Cállense pinche gringos and stop appropriating this amazing Mexican woman for your post-modern gender-essentialist bullshit
