Dream Snake No. 6

Dream Snakes are cunning little friends who love to sleep near your pillow and snack on any bad dreams that might be coming your way. They use their feathered bodies to swim through the air at night, snapping up all those nasty nightmares. You couldn’t ask for a better companion!

This extra-special seasonal Dream Snake was made to bring you warm, cozy dreams of winter’s beauty.

From tip to tail, Dream Snake No. 6 measures fully 55 inches, making her by far the largest Dream Snake ever! Fortunately for your shelf or desk space, her loosely coiled pose takes up an 11 by 16 inch space.

This doll is now available on Etsy!

She wants to widen the bandwidth of gender                           

51-year-old Alex Drummond said she “was aware that I was unlikely ever to pass as natal female, so what I wanted to do is to see if it was possible to create another space”.

Speaking to BuzzFeed News, she said: “I did it in a very radical way; I was testing new ground.                                                                                           

“I knew that simply shaving my beard and putting breasts on wasn’t going to make me pass, and I used to work for an architect and he used to say ‘When you’re designing something you either make it very deliberately level or very deliberately off’.                  

“So that was the philosophy.”

Continuing, she said: “What I want to do is to widen the bandwidth of gender, to make it more possible for more people to come out as a transgender, to live authentic lives.                                                    

“If all you ever see is trans women who completely pass and are completely convincing as natal females, then those of us who just don’t have that kind of luck won’t have the confidence to come out.

“For the people who don’t pass I can say ‘don’t be afraid’ because what I’ve discovered is you don’t need to pass, what you need is to act authentically.

“And if a child sees me and thinks, ‘Bloody hell, so it’s not as simple as pink or blue or football or ballet – there must be 101 possibilities in between’, then maybe I can serve the greater good.”
