An informational comic I drew last year for my Comics 2 class, reposting it to my new account (had to jump ship from the old one unfortunately) with some minor grammar changes and learned my lesson in adding watermarks! Happy early pride :)
it's okay to be fat and like to eat. it's okay to be fat and enjoy cooking, baking, grilling, canning, drying or preparing foods. it's okay to be fat and work a restaurant or bakery and enjoy what you do. it's okay to be fat and not ashamed of eating in public. it's okay to be fat, but it's especially okay to be fat and have a positive relationship with food. people are supposed to enjoy eating, it's where we get our energy from, it's a very positive and nourishing experience for our bodies, it's okay if it's positive and nourishing to your mental health, too. fat people are allowed to eat, and we're allowed to enjoy doing it, too.
I’m so sick of transandrophobia & enbyphobia istg.
I’m so sick of trans “advocates” leaving transmascs and nonbinary folks like myself out of conversations.
I’m so sick of us ONLY sometimes being brought up in convos when it’s about getting pregnant/the ability to get pregnant, or only being brought up as a “gotcha” in the bathroom debate. By “gotcha” I mean when people say “well, you don’t want transmascs in the women’s, do you?”
I’m sick of talks about abortion & birth control being solely centered around cisgender women when I’m directly affected, too. I’m sick of them being called “women’s rights” when they’re MY rights, too.
I’m sick of people speaking on my chest size like I can control it & I’m sick of transmasc bodies being mocked and policed.
I’m sick of being the first transmasc/nonbinary person most people have met.
I’m sick of the fear mongering around T.
I’m sick of the side effects of T being mocked or treated as “gross.”
I’m sick of being forced into the binary as a “confused trans man” & being told I don’t understand my own gender.
I’m sick of getting tips to “be more feminine” in my transition.
so, today we, russian queers, may become "extremists" by decision of russian supreme court and thus our existence will be silenced and erased. any queer activism will be impossible for us. I don't know what to do anymore. I was heartbroken when they passed the laws about "gay propaganda" and transgender people, now I'm just numb. I don't want to escape. I just want to live safely in my own country.

Michi, who ran away from home and even faked her death when she was sixteen. Michi, who when asked would say the crazy cat lady who took her in off the streets, yet only viewed her as yet another stray kitten, was her only family. Michi who was once hit with a forever potion and left in that cabin in the woods to rot, staring blankly at the walls waiting for the voice in her head to return, to give her orders, to give her direction.
Michi who as she laid there, on the wooden floors of the cabin much like a broken doll cast aside, called out for her twin. Her twin who shouted from the window at her not to come back when she slammed their old front door for the last time. Her twin who threw rocks at the Mei'fwa scouts who tried sabotaging his sister's cookies, because he'd 'always' have her back after all.
Michi who's body had been found six months after death, while decomposed it was untouched, because even the rats in the hell hole of a cabin didn't want her.
to whoever needs to hear this: transvestite and transsexual are not slurs. "outdated" queer terms are not inherently slurs. these are literally historically the first 2 terms created and used to talk about the trans community, both coined the first doctor to perform successful trans sex reassignment surgeries, who spent the rest of his career pioneering and paving the way for the modern surgeries we perform today. his name was Magnus Hirschfeld, he was a jewish doctor who began a lifetime of fighting for queer rights due to being moved by the struggles his queer patients went through in terms of not being allowed to accept themselves during the Nazi regime at the time. these are perfectly fine terms that have grown to develop their own distinct meanings and communities over time. this man spent his life fighting for trans and jewish rights during Nazi occupation. any queer term can be used as a slur in the wrong hands. thank you
