Sketchy's Book

Linnaeus taking a break after a workout. This took way too long to make 😩

Bonus, Colt reacts:

Like, I know that people can be homophobic when they themselves are gay, and that POC can be racist against others. I don’t understand why, but I know that’s a thing.

I appreciate you sending this anonymously.

I'm sorry, but I honestly don't know what I've done/said that would make you think I'm transphobic and/or an asshole???

When I was in high school, I was raised very conservative and had been transphobic.... But that was before I learned that my sister and I are both GNC. A LOT has changed since then.

If you're only judging by my last post, could you please highlight which parts you found to be transphobic/asshole-ish from my actions? If you're referring to any previous things I've posted, I would love to know which ones you saw that show me to be that way.

Okay, so. To start, I live in the deep south of Florida (not my first choice), with my fiance and his mother, and now our niece. His mom and their family are pretty conservative and even though I’ve talked to his mom about my identity, she doesn’t seem to really understand or seek to....

I’m genderfluid. My sister is trans. My mother is a TERF, I just learned recently.... But to the world, I’m very blatantly female in appearance, so everyone calls me ‘she’ and I stopped correcting people because it just got tiring....

My family still calls me by my birth name because they think me wanting to change my name legally would be an “insult” to them, since they “gifted” me with my name. *rolling eyes*

I used to live near DC, in a very diverse suburb with pretty liberal-leaning friends and teachers. I was never scared to be myself up there. I got mad when my dad didn’t accept my being (at the time) a “tomboy,” but that was really the worst of it at the time.

Listening to the news now just makes my heart hurt. I’m scared for my sister who lives in Ohio, who’s actually on hormones and not in a great living situation. I’m worried for myself selfishly. I want to be able to wear what I want and do my hair in fun, masc do’s and dye it weird colors without fearing the people around me.

I know others are in much worse situations, but this is really the first time I feel like I *need* to be closeted for my own safety. But I don’t know how to live that way.

What’s the healthiest way to cope with hiding your identity? If anyone has any advice, or just wants to share an experience, I’d be very grateful <3

Thought I’d draw a scene from a recent RP I’m writing with @apricusnights

got bored and decided to do some vent art.

Will there be explosions in the sky? Or on the ground?

Will there be a chorus of voices in support of “American ideals” we foolishly thought would be true?

Will there be law “enforcers” watching over gatherings to make sure we’re “safe”?

Or will we see more death? Will it be a day of irony? The day we are meant to celebrate our nation’s independence in the wake of losing our rights without warning- is there anything to celebrate?
