I will readily admit that I'm becoming a #DrBronners superfan, especially when I read their blog posts, including this powerful one on the recent #TransDayOfVisibility that provides an excellent list of organizations that they are supporting financially this year that advocate for true trans inclusion and acceptance.

This is not from yesterday. This is from #TransDayOfVisibility

Look how many people turned out to march for trans rights while it was pissing down rain. And they just kept on right to Trump Tower. Well done, #Chicago! You were great yesterday too.

Trans Day of Visibility at the Museum of Liverpool - It was a joy to spend the weekend at the Museum of Liverpool documenting the TDOV (Trans Day of Visibility) events for National Museums Liverpool. Trans joy from floor to ceiling. Writing, artwork, poetry, music and interesting talks. The event was wonderfully put together by Spirit Level.

Ravyn: So I'm a little late...but HIYA! wing flutter so I'm Ash's headmate, and her first fursona ever, Ravyn

and it's a little bit...we can be out here for #TransDayOfVisibility because honestly? trans people should be visible every day

so just know you've got a big buff (i'm not usually this buff) pantheress mom or aunt watching over you.

and that I love you.

One thing I was planning on writing for #TransDayOfVisibility is that a few weeks ago I tried hinting to a trusted friend that my pronouns weren't what she expects. It didn't go as planned. Somehow I think she came out of that conversation even more sure I'm cis, but a good trans ally. I know I'm not the first, and I'm not sure about the second.

Since the Fediverse is a place I found several incredible trans people which I learned and I'm still learning from, I want to ask if this ironic image of Putin with Le Pen's hair is transphobic. I thought it was just an irony with the reaction of some far-right politicians, but I might be wrong. It's a genuine question.

Kopfschmerzbedingt bestand mein Trans day of visibility gestern nur daraus, dass ich bei der Lohnarbeit einen trans Pride Pin an der Mütze hatte und einen Pulli mit einem Aufdruck einer Blume und der Aufschrift "Be brave, be kind, be true, be you", alles in den Farben der trans Flagge. Übersetzt heißt der Aufdruck "Sei mutig, sei nett, sei echt, sei du"
Mir ist es wichtig, im Alltag als transfeminine Person sichtbar zu sein. Grade bei der Lohnarbeit bin ich viel im ländlichen Raum in Sachsen und Thüringen unterwegs. Hier bin ich für viele meiner Kund*innen wahrscheinlich die einzige trans Person, mit der sie zu tun haben. Und wenn sie durch mich merken, dass wir auch einfach nur Menschen sind, die ihr Leben leben wollen, und nicht so, wie wir in Comedy Serien und Filmen dargestellt werden, hilft das vielleicht, Transfeindlichkeit in der Gesellschaft abzubauen. Meiner Erfahrung nach kommt Transfeindlichkeit oft auch einfach durch Unwissenheit, schädliche Darstellung in den Medien und dadurch, dass es einfach das Unbekannte ist, womit eins im Alltag nichts zu tun hat.
Ich bin sichtbar und nehme auch alle Risiken und Gefahren bewusst in Kauf, damit es die nachfolgenden Generationen ein bisschen leichter haben :neocat_flag_trans:

I posted to meow.social about this for TDOV already, but to no avail.

I'm a (literally)starving nonbinary shitposter and occasional artist who recently got out of the psychiatric hospital and I need money if I don't want to end up back in there. I have no income, and no money saved up, and my life is getting increasingly difficult

Bonus: If you have a fursona and donate $5 or more I'll try using them for anatomy practice. No guarantees on when though, and they have to be kinda simple

Continued thread

Because contrary to many of his peers Eguchi's girls were pretty but not designed for the male gaze. This wasn't accidental because he wasn't drawing the object of his desires but rather what he would have wanted to be. In his own words:

> The ideal girl for me is the one I would have wanted to become if I was born a girl, it is not the girl I would dream to date, it is really the frustration of not being born as a girl which fuels my drawings.

Given today is #TransDayOfVisibility here's an interesting tidbit: among the flood of AI generated slop that's been thrown around you'll find plenty of AI-generated fake '80s japanese synthpop music usually presented with images of pretty girls as the cover image. The style used for the girls in those videos is very often a shameful ripoff of Hisashi Eguchi's. A mangaka known for his beautiful and fashionable drawings. Why is that relevant today?
