I'm a Girl now btw

here's what you actually want in a thrift store:

in a rich town

run by a church

staffed exclusively by little old ladies

i shaved my legs and showered and became the softest thing alive.

sat in my kitchen a bit ago and realized how much its sinking in that i dont have to go back. that i can stay here, home, safe forever.

at the time of drawing this comic, its one day after i saw the digital circus movie in theaters. (not pictured is my family who saw it with me)

and like. summin about something so culturally recognizable, something with a sea of merchandise and a restaurant and a fan base of all ages and backgrounds, something so loved by so many, not only is it indie, but made by a trans woman and with such blatant and real trans feminine representation IN MOVIE THEATERS AS A CULTURAL PHENOMENON in a time where trans people are public enemy #1.

a trans woman who posts her art on tumblr got here. im also a trans woman who posts her art on tumblr. maybe i could get there too. and knowing how many kids were in the audience, i hope and pray the trans kids who dont know it or are scared see themselves represented too, and i hope this movie helps them realize its ok to be you, its ok to be trans.

additionally, i like dressin up a lil when i go out with my family to a movie. i dressed with a pomni inspired look. and before i got my crutch, i didnt think anything of it. but walking into the theater with my crutch, i worried people would be like "i dont get it, are you disabled pomni?", but then pomni had to use a crutch in the movie. not only seeing myself represented behind the scenes for this film, but seeing myself represented in the film itself in a number of ways.
