Some Instagram person’s death note list. Apparently JKR (evil terf) is on the same level as Peter scully (serial child rapist who produced one of the worst csam to ever exist)

she's a gender nonconforming woman. she's also plus size, this makes her very curvy.

though i wouldn't talk for her, we both experienced acquaintances of her (sometimes strangers we meet at functions) asking her why she won't get top surgery. we get a lot of insinuations that she might not even be a woman because she dresses so masculinely & doesn't perform the "traditionally" expected woman roles in society.

but she won't budge. she's actually really proud of her body. she's proud of her curves, her hips & her chest. she's proud of the body she was gifted & no amount of external social conditioning can convince her that she needs to transition in order for her identity to "make sense".

we marched together on pride, she held our labrys flag, and proudly proclaimed her lesbian identity.

i think it's beautiful-- and i think a lot of GNC women and girls, who feel pressured by society to perform femininity "or else", can learn from her lifelong experience of being a GNC adult woman.

if i ask her what she wants to say to all of you, it is this:

"you don't have to be beautiful, you don't have to make sense, you don't have to be anything but you. you're a female, so be a proud one."

Trans people have entire pride parades in every city of the US dedicated to them. We have underground whisper networks with coded language lest we lose our livelihoods for wanting a single space away from male domination. Go ANYWHERE. FUCKING. ELSE.

Can I mention the real overwhelmin exclusion (?) I feel when seein or bein near or in our spaces and events? How much the gay community's culture now is... Ain't even saturated or influenced, I'm talkin jus IS, the product of gender non-conformin gay male influence (and by extension drag queens?)

whenever lesbians bring up the conversation of "genital preferences" & homosexuality, we usually get a gaslight-y, disingenuous response about it being "totally okay and valid (just don't be a transphobe)"

but when you examine what actual TIMs & TRAs say, it becomes very obvious that there is an elephant in the room. and it's coercive language. it's co-opting lesbian sexual terms, bringing morality, again, greatly coercive language & plain accusations of bigotry.

it's actually, a very common phenomenon. but when homosexual women bring this up, bring their experiences up... it's always: "this doesn't happen."

it does though.

my latest piece! 🐇 a commissioned drawing for Save The Buns 🤍 featuring rescued New Zealand white rabbits, an open cage, broken syringes and discarded lab equipment (such as awful rabbit restrainers)

Animal testing is completely outdated and morally reprehensible and ought to exist only as an ugly chapter in a history book 💉

Save The Buns, Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide adoption or sanctuary to rabbits used in animal testing. Additionally, they promote alternatives over the use of animals in testing and research 🐰
