Xavier
After being confused about his/her gender identity Xavier decided upon a life of religion.
Then couldn’t decide whether to become a nun or a monk.

Great drawing as always. Many years ago I saw Jake Thackray and one of his songs came to mind as i looked at this picture. I found a link to it here … it may amuse you if you listen carefully to the lyric.

The expression is just right! I would be confsued more by the desire to join a religion than choosing a sex, but that’s just me – nunsense and old bad habits I guess. x
