EXACTLY. I keep seeing people say we shouldn't complain about rainbow capitalism in light of recent events. No, this is why we should complain about it!! People are just nostalgic for before they realized they were getting scammed.

Imagine being a fan of either Dolly Parton or musical theatre and being repulsed at the sight of a gay person. That's like my family who were grossed out that there were gay people in She-Ra— a spinoff of the famously heterosexual He-Man, by the famously conservative studio Filmation.

What's wrong with redefining scientific terms? Unless you're one of those "Pluto is still a planet" people, then I guess we'll agree to disagree, but I prefer to update terms that no longer fit our understanding.

It's natural and harmless to have any combination of male and female sexual characteristics, even if it's uncommon. It's only considered medical condition because we decided it was.

My friend has a uterus and gonads. I have red hair and blue eyes. Both are super uncommon and neither has caused us any trouble, that's just how we're made.

I'd argue that male and female are just names for the ends of the spectrum.

How does your post contradict what they said? You asked how it impacts a binary trans person, and they explained that the part about it being unchangeable is supposed to target y'all (and all trans people).

I know a lot of us, probably most of us, haven't changed so much as taken ownership of who we always were. So yeah I guess technically this order isn't a "gotcha", but unfortunately that's not how transphobes see it. :(

I won't. I regret the few corporate-backed queer purchases I ever made. Companies were always willing to do this, but we let them drain our wallets in the meantime. I'm never licking another rainbow-colored boot again.

They'll do both these things at the same time, too. Disney was actively marketing itself as pro-gay while donating to everyone pushing the Parental Rights in Education Act, aka the Don't Say Gay bill. We were always funding our oppression.

I never decided it. As soon as I was old enough to know there was a difference between "male" and "female", I knew I couldn't force myself to fit either category. This was actually a huge source of stress as a child.

Never heard either of those. I've heard "no gods, no masters", but mainly in the context of anarchy.

And people eat it up. It's sick how many people would rather focus on bringing others down than pull themselves out of despair, let alone anyone else.

Thank goodness. I haven't done research into trans rights in many countries yet, so I was sincerely afraid that the UK might be as good as it gets 😰

Is the UK actually the safest place to be trans, because jesus fucking christ.

Nice! I really like your linework, stylistic but still solid.

Random detail to notice but I was just telling a friend how I always fuck up and angle on the mouth when I draw 3/4 view, so the first thing I noticed was that the mouth looks good.

 

‘Family values’ bill is adopted despite being denounced by the president, rights groups and the European Union.

Kesaria Abramidze, a trans model, was murdered the day after the bill passed. Even if the president vetos it, this law already has a body count.

 

I've only found a couple and they're dead. Pro trans communities only.

Noticed I've been looking at women differently lately and kinda wanna check out the wlw scene.
