I believe it’s lifesize(was not my original intention, but here we are)

But the skull part is done

up until that point, during the day lily continued to dress in masculine clothing and even attended galleries showing gottlieb’s paintings of her. which was kind of iconic. she got to stand in a room full of people who were marveling her beauty, not knowing she was right next to them. it must have been such a cute little secret for them as a couple.

here’s gerda and lilly together

not to mention that for most people there is no real “after” to a transition. especially for these trans historical figures who had to balance identity and safety at all times.

i think having a wife paint these portraits must have felt really amazing for lily. to be able to see herself through the eyes of someone who loved her. i’m very much seconding op on the getting teary eyed.

here are some of my favorite gottleib lily paintings

Reading this, I thought it was about a bridge near where a friend of mine lives, that I drive under once a week- it is ALSO a can-opener, and they added clanker balls and a huge sign that literally says, 'stop now or KABOOM!' (clanker balls not shown in this picture, but you'd hit the hanging balls before the bridge and theoretically stop bc OH SHIT and not get your vehicle peeled open)

“Plant-based cereal,” “plant-based french fries,” “plant-based tortillas.”

This creates an environment where a lot of soldiers will abuse trans sex workers, and the governing bodies that are supposed to protect the South Korean citizens, already unwilling to intervene on behalf of trans people, doubly turn them away because they aren't willing to mediate disputes between U.S. soldiers and South Korean citizens.

This has created an environment where trans sex workers I work with in my irl activism in South Korea have all pointed to the U.S. soldiers as the most dangerous and worst customers for their work. What's more, they say that the soldiers know that they can really get away with all of this, much than with cis sex workers, and target trans sex workers.
