Woah, hey! I have a Patreon now!!

✩ https://www.patreon.com/limeSmoothie ✩

Hey all, I’m here to kick off my Patreon! From now on I’ll be offering a number of cool things on there over time.

Some cool things include:

✩ Exclusive posts and sketches

✩ Polls to direct project priority + art

✩ Trello board including all my planned projects

✩ Commission discounts

✩ Process videos/gifs for animations

✩ Streams and other group activities (movies?? games???)

Also, as a first goal…!!!

Thank you so much to everyone. If you can support, I deeply appreciate it. If not, thank you so much for being here and following my social media!! You’re all so wonderful. It’s really unfortunate that money is a necessity for me to be able to do the cool projects I want to do, but that’s just how things are. Artists gotta eat + pay rent!

Blake didn’t realize they were transgender for a long time because of inadequate access to information as a Deaf person. Now they’re sharing their own story online so other Deaf trans people know they’re not alone.

Hey there! That’s a totally fair question.

So, nonbinary is a similar umbrella term to genderqueer - it basically means identifying as anything other than male or female. Genders like demigirl, demiboy, agender, and etc fall into the nonbinary/genderqueer umbrella. Agender is a “gender” within that umbrella, meaning that the person does not identify with gender at all! So, a person who is nonbinary (simply meaning “not binary” - “not strictly male or female”) may align themselves in some form with gender, whereas an agender person typically does not.

For example, I am nonbinary. I view myself and present with a mix of gendered ways, or sometimes not gendered at all. I don’t have a more specific label for myself other than this “not male or female” umbrella term because I don’t care enough about gender to pin it down more than that. Lots of other people find that suitable enough as well.

One of my good friends is agender, and prefers not to be aligned in any way with gendered pronouns or perceptions if they can help it.

Overall, queer was approved of by 72.9% of respondents, with 37.2% of respondents specifying queer was their preferred umbrella term.

Queer is the most widely preferred umbrella term, and the 3rd most approved of umbrella term, behind LGBT+ and LGBTQ+.

Groups that do not prefer the use of queer as an umbrella are: straight respondents, exclusionst-identifying respondents, transmedicalists, truscum, sex-negative respondents, and sex work critical respondents.

Queer as an umbrella was preferred above other umbrella terms by all gender identities, and by all orientation groups other than straight.

Not that I’m surprised they don’t like it. I’m surprised at the immense gap between what they insist, and scream, over and over – that very few people have reclaimed queer, that we should all avoid using it, that older people hate it because it was used against us but younger people hate it because only older people briefly reclaimed it –

Like this makes me think so much of the whole “terfs and conservatives agree on a lot of stuff” -thing. (There’s a whole game somewhere, with quotes from terfs and conservatives where you have to guess which one said it, and it is a real fucking hard game…)

like, it doesn’t try to “prove it” outside of a few scenes, and as a result we’ve got all these clowns insisting it’s a “degenerate filth bestiality movie”, who would probably say that anyway, but they’ve got ammo for it because guillermo del toro kind of just assumed nobody’d question the creature’s sentience and didn’t actually give a lot of textual evidence.
