i think this is just a post saying that i'm a transfem cub artist, and by damnit i'm proud of that.
there's not many of us, even in the queer-centric spaces, and it's sad to say i have a great idea of why.
i hope one day the beautiful art transfems want to make, to engage with, and so much more, can be done in spaces where we feel welcome. not spaces where we have to sit down and shut up for talking too loudly, for having nuanced viewpoints that don't jive with everyone, or god fucking forbid we speak up for ourselves.
it sometimes does feel like i'm walking on eggshells in this space. and that shouldn't ever be the case for a community full of artists who should know what it's like to be one call-out post away from their entire life being destroyed.
