ugh

sorry my comms sheet is so ugly i am genuinely very bad at these things. maybe one day i will have a very pretty website set up for commissions but until then i use procreate like glorified google slides.

If you don’t feel like commissioning me but would still like to support me, i also have a kofi!!

more art examples under the cut! note that some of them are wips please.

You're saying their gender is the reason for their behaviour, you're effectively removing the responsibility from their shoulders, it's just another way of saying "boys will be boys" even if you say it in a "negative" way.

They're still people, who need to be held responsible for their actions, their words, views etc. Saying that about marginalised men who have a legitimate reason to be insulted by what you said isn't ok, but saying it to privileged men who are being harmful, bigoted etc isn't helping you either, you're just saying "they can't help it because they're men".

as of today, trans women, trans men, non-binary, and self-identified genders are officially de-recognised and supporting establishments criminalised in India.

India contains the largest LGBTQ+ community on the planet. Hundreds of millions of queer people have lost the right to existence in just 48 hours.

This happened despite the majority religion (Hinduism) supporting Queer people. This happened despite acceptance and regular pride parades in India's cities.

If it happened in India, it will happen to your country. Do not turn a blind eye to the politics in your own nation. If you do not violently remove fascism or ethno-nationalism from your country, they'll pick you off one by one.

if you have twitter and live outside of India, definitely do not tag @/BJP4India and flood their twitter with demands for a repeal. That could cause international pressure on the government to reconsider its decisions, which I totally cannot endorse at all.

Spread the news around, let there be an international outcry. Stand in support of the millions of lives needlessly ruined in India.

It started with the comment "lets not pretend like cis men are discriminated against", in the assumption that I was a trans man. I know that they assumed this because when I told them that it was "brave" to post this under the post of a cis intersex man, they became very upset and asked why I, as a cis man, was posting about the experiences of trans men.

I proceeded to tell them that I am talking about these experiences, because I have had the same or very similar experiences due to being intersex.

At that point they decided to tell me, that I was not actually cis then, but trans, and that I just didn't understand my own identity.

I had told them multiple times at that point, that I originally had been AMAB, and only reassigned AFAB to enable my IGM. This user was pretty much saying: trans means transitioning away from your AGAB, you have trans man experiences, so you are a trans man, so the doctors were actually right to reassign you AFAB. They were at this point agreeing with my abusers just because my experiences did not match their expectation of what experiences a cis man can have.

And that is the danger of TME/TMA and why it will never have any validity in my eyes. You are assuming the amount and type of oppression a person experiences based on their AGAB. And if that doesn't match up in your eyes, you assume that a) they are lying or b) that they are to stupid to understand their own identity.

They also half way implied that I no longer identified as trans because I was transphobic and not because I learned about circumstances of my birth and lifelong medical treatment that had been maliciously hidden from me.
