NON-BINARY MASTER POST (part 2)

This is a collection of all my body positive illustrations for non-binary folks I did in 2017. I hope, they help you! <3

You can find part 1 here: [LINK]

that’s not what this post is about. i purposely did not mention those things because that’s not the issue im focusing on

too often we only support the “lgbt” part of someone and forget the rest. but you cant separate someone’s race from their sexual orientation. you can’t support the “trans” part of someone but ignore the “disabled” part. you can’t say you care about the wellbeing of lgbt people but talk down about or ignore addicts, sex workers, the mentally ill, immigrants, etc.

there is no trans or gay liberation without equality on the basis of race, there is no freedom for the lgbt community until every disabled or autistic person has the care and support they need. you can’t support the rights of gay people without supporting the rights of addicts and sex workers. there is no lgbt community without people of color, disabled people, immigrants, Jewish people and Muslims. there is no history behind the lgbt community without acknowledging sex workers.

Girl (2018)

There are many resources online about the dangers of binding for FTM guys, but far fewer that address the dangers of tucking.

This film, based on the youth of trans dancer Nora Monsecour and made in collaboration with her, features a young trans girl character tucking with tape in order to pass as a young woman. It is good to see that a film is drawing attention to MTF struggles, and the daily practice of flattening your groin, which can sometimes be very painful.

As an alternative to tape or bandages, I would recommend LeoLines underwear, available through Etsy. There are many reviews by trans women who recommend LeoLines panties and padded bras, and the underwear is so cleverly designed that many women report not even needing to tuck beneath the panties. (Also, as the designer of these products is a trans woman, all the marketing is aimed at trans women, and not crossdressers.)

Stop demanding trans men and nonbinary people bind their chest!

Stop demanding and expecting trans people to harm ourselves in order to be acknowledged as trans/our true gender. Stop misgendering us purposely when we don’t do these things.

I love you

You’re absolutely beautiful

No, your voice is not “too deep”

Wear whatever you want

Yes, you are passing. And, even if you aren’t,

You’re still a trans woman regardless of how well you pass

You’re 100% allowed to look and/or act masculine. You’re still a wonderful, real woman
