Generally Irritated History Nerd, Also: Discworld

no more gendered dress codes. no more gender markers on passports, driver's licenses, ids. i'm not talking about "adding x" or "adding a third category" i'm talking about no more categories, period. why does the government need to know what my genital situation is? why does the government feel the need to assign me a sex on the basis of genitals? why does the cop who pulled me over need to see an m, or an f, or an x?

no more "gender is a social construct, sex is the thing that's binary." sex is not binary. abolish the idea that it is. normalize conversations about intersex traits. being intersex is natural. the sex binary is a thing imposed by the state.

no more gendered sports. if you really care about equity, sort people into categories based on skill level and athleticism, not gender or sex. the concept that there are only two sexes and that one is inherently weaker than the other is pseudoscience. the male/female hunter/gatherer dichotomy is not based in fact, and is a product of modern sexist cultural biases. one gender is not inherently subservient to the other. people are not inherently different on the basis of sex or gender. it is just more complicated than that.

the concept of multiple genders and sexes beyond the man/woman male/female dichotomy has existed as long as humans have existed. the sex binary only serves to benefit the patriarchy. the gender binary only serves to benefit the patriarchy. continuing to impose it just controls (and harms) the people it forcibly categorizes.

I've been meaning to draw this for a while now but kept forgetting to, glad to finally have done it. (If this had been done before I apologize.)

Yes, I'm a week late, but better late than never. It is a book about time travel, after all. Reasonably-priced love leading the people, after the illustrious model :)

Ok, it's finally done. Home is a place, home is a person.

This story is my first major piece after several years of art block, and I'm so glad I could finally get back to drawing.

Having armpit hair actually protects the skin and helps our bodies regulate temperature. Shaving can also irritate the skin and cause damage to it over time

So... no... it is not necessarily more "hygienic" to shave your armpits

Please, for the love of everything: don’t buy into the myth that shaving has any sort of positive health impact on your skin.

That hair is there for a reason and especially for people who suffer from any sort of skin condition: constantly irritating your skin will have negative consequences.

And if you’re spreading misinformation about shaving being hygienic? You’re making life harder for everyone.

You’re implying that those who do not shave (whether out of personal preference or medical research) are somehow dirty.
