'Everyday society tries to tell me that I don’t exist, because it believes in only two genders. Everyday, I very quietly give society the finger, by simply continuing to EXIST!'
Known for his flamboyant and often androgynous style, popular media star Denrele Edun features in French GQ Magazine’s latest issue talking about gender identity.
A very excited Denrele shared photos from the editorial shoot on his Instagram page with the caption:
Denrele Edun for @gqfrance courtesy @anastyboy_ (As written by @sophie_bouillon and captured by @benedicte_kurzen ). Not a boy or a girl, not any binary, rigid definition of a person. Just ME.

Denrele continued:

As someone who has also been unapologetically himself, this is the closest Denrele has come to defining himself publicly and even though we may not be any clearer on what he subscribes to, it's nice to know Denrele has the room to be exactly what he wants to be.
