Hi there 22 | Artist | 🏳️‍⚧️ | Internally screaming 24/7 Just a girl doing girly stuff while making things I like

"How the Closet Door Opened" Behold, the story about how Alejandro Saab made me into a woman. Not long after this, I met my best friend and left an awful friend group. I now see a future, one I didn't before. Btw Horimiya is my favourite romance manga go read ittt #transgender #transart #lgbt

Happy Pride!!! This first year of art for me has been amazing! I had the privilege of helping organize this wonderful collab of all my friends I have made this year!!! I had some amazing help from my friend Harlow to help place everyone and had the amazing Jazz to draw the background!

Urgent Commission Call to get out of home Felt a bit weird making this, but outside of work and the pension, this is one of the only ways I can think of to get more income. Of course I don’t expect to get enough from commissions alone, but I hope it’ll be an extra push. Link to Ko-Fi page below -

I’ve mentioned in some of my comics that I live in a religious, specifically Jehovah’s Witness, household, with parents and family who are transphobic and homophobic. 
The more out I am, the more I’ve put my foot down on who I am a queer trans guy, the more pushback I’ve gotten from my parents and family. Sometimes it’s days back to back having to prove my identity and explain the LGBT community, with every word being picked at and twisted. Making it exhausting to even try to explain myself, let alone be myself.

Then there’s the religious side of things. I don’t go to the JW meetings anymore, I’m very admant that I don’t believe in it. But my life is still surrounded by the religion, because it’s connected in every aspect of my family.Because of the JW’s stance on the LGBT, my parents and family most likely will never accept me as who I am. 
I had to put off taking testosterone because when my parents found out, they became convinced I was making the wrong choice, that I was going to regret it, that I’m going to harm my body permanently.
Treating my identity like a mental illness adjacent to depression or an eating disorder.“Why can’t you just be a tomboy?”
“We shouldn’t have to deal with pronouns constantly pushed on us”
What if the hormones make you infertile?”
“I feel sick everytime I have to use the name Darcy for you”
“You shouldn’t take hormones just because your mental health is bad right now.”
“I heard about this detransitioner…”
“I’d rather you never take testosterone”
“We know you best!”
“I’m going to do everything in my power to stop you from getting testosterone”

I spent ~10 hours today building my first gunpla kit. It was really fun! It made for a good tech break, I left my phone across the room and nothing on my TV. I got into Gundam with Witch, and have since watched GQX (no UC yet) and IBO, it's one of the best series I have ever consumed. Watch it :D
