You didn’t.

Hello! My name is Val and I want to ask you something. I have to send you fan mail becuae my ask is too long.In my art class, my art teacher entered everyone into a National Congretional Art Contest. And the theme is “A Key Opens..” We have to make art about our inspriation in life and a moment that was a key in our lives. And with all the tragic events this recent year with poilce burtality and Leelah’s passing. I decided to base my art on the ones we lost this year: Mike Brown, Deah Shaddy Barakat, Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, Leelah Alcorn, and Jesse Hernandez. My theme will be “A Key Opens to Hope.” With the movement for those who were innocent (like I mentioned above) they gave us hope for a better equality fututre..And my question is. Will it be alright for me to draw leelah in my art work? And if so, what hair style does she prefer. I want to draw her how she always wanted to be. I know she wanted long hair..but I’m asking because I want her to be on point..Im really sorry if this was long and if I dragged everything out but I wanted you to understand. If you want, I can post the art works on my tumblr. I just wanted you to know that Leelah, is my inspiration. She is the key that opened hope to everyone. May she rest in power and I’m so happy for her victory. Thank you so much for listening.

I’m proud of you for picking such a strong topic.If it’s respectful I can’t see why you couldn’t draw Leelah for it.This is the reference of the hairstyle she said she wanted, I believe it was posted from her reddit account.We’d love to see and share it when you’re finished - just give us a reminder.
