I'm not okay. Took a mental health day to do my part and make some art about it. No matter the opposition, we won't be erased. A world without trans people has never existed, and it never will! 🏳️‍⚧️

May this piece be a small light in the darkness for those in need of comfort and hope. Feel free to share/re-post elsewhere if this resonates with you. Just please make sure you include the alt text!

"I've been thinking recently about the first ever trans space I was ever actually a part of, Bigender.net. My experience was primarily with these forums in ~2009, but I came back to peek in later years, and am trying to regain access now. There's a lot of bigender cultural things there that would probably never be known about or archived somewhere easily accessible unless someone talked about what they saw there, and I wanted to share some things.

+ A Lot of people used two or more names that they switch up, use in different contexts, and that often align with specific genders. Names are essentially changed like pronouns are for many people.

+ Most bigender people seemed to experience some kind of fluidity or flux of gender, and it was rarer for people to feel like 100% both at all times. This seems to be more often where people label themselves androgynes.

+ The language of "en femme" and "en homme" was used to describe both how one was presenting (similar to the modern boymoding/girlmoding) and to how one felt their gender on a specific day, which is what makes it different from girlmode/boymode. It wasn't just about presentation regardless of gender, but presentation as related to gender.

+ Plurality became so common over the years as a framework of bigender expression that a whole subforum for plurality emerged on these forums. Lots of plural bigender folks would experience having a "girl side" and a "boy side" in a dual system.

+ There were just as many bigender folks who experienced a neutral/other/middle gender experience besides just being male/female. It really wasn't limited to 2 genders, even if at the time it was very male/female bigender focused."

so yknow the "AAA battery" joke with aspec identities? well there's a lot of versions of that whether its Aro/Ace/Agender or Aro/Ace/Autistic, but... theres so many other A's too: Abro, Aplatonic (and other Aspec orientations), Androgyne, Abinary, Atrinary, Alterhuman, ADHD and more- you get it.

so, i wonder... how many As can one battery have???

"Are you a man or a woman?"

Am I flesh or bone? Do I peel the meat from my body or carve my skeleton out of myself? Which halves of myself do I keep, after the operation is done?

You come to me asking me this, asking me if I'm one or the other. Am I a man or a woman.

Fuck off.

i hand stitched top surgery scars onto the build-a-bear i’ve had since i was 7

i remember i got him on my birthday

i used pink embroidery floss i got so long ago that i can’t remember who gave it to me, but i know it was for making friendship bracelets

the needlework is a bit wonky

the seams are a bit lumpy

it was dark in my childhood room while i worked. everyone else is asleep. i should be too.

but i sat on the floor and stitched top surgery scars onto my bear so that one day, we’ll match

[this-is-exorsexism]

people thinking that all afab nonbinary people are inherently moving towards masculinity and all amab nonbinary people are inherently moving towards femininity.

this is exorsexism.

this idea is often used to justify using the terms transmasculine and transfeminine in some kind of universally applicable way, but it's based on a gross oversimplification of the gender spectrum as a slider between male and female/masculine and feminine.

there is an infinite number of directions for an amab nonbinary person to go in. femininity is not the only one just because the gender binary says so. they could transition into an in between space, considering themself androgynous rather than masc or fem. they could transition into neutrality. they could transition into nonbinary masculinity. they could transition out of gender altogether. they could transition into a gender that has no ties to the binary. they could transition into fluidity. they could transition into an infinite number of things. the same is true for an afab nonbinary person.

take xenogenders for example. if an afab nonbinary person identifies as a specific xenogender, they'd be considered more masculine than before, but if an amab nonbinary person identified as the exact same gender, they'd be considered to be more feminine than before, even though most xenogenders aren't inherently masculine or feminine. not all nonbinary genders consist of a balance of masculinity and femininity.

when i came out, i didn't move towards the opposite of my AGAB by virtue of moving away from my AGAB. i am now equally far away from both.

the gender spectrum is not linear.

Ever since we made our equality design, we can't stop thinking of designs. So we made this!

Once again, everyone is free to use this design on shirts, stickers, pins, whatever they'd like, as long as they are using it for inclusive purposes! Just don't claim it as your own, please.

The transparent version:

A second version with a background, for easier viewing:

The design includes the following:

-The female symbol -The male symbol -A non-binary/genderqueer symbol on olive green bodies, to represent people who use non-binary/genderqueer as their lone identity -A NB/GQ symbol on lilac bodies, to represent people who have feminine NB/GQ identities -A NB/GQ symbol on dark cyan bodies, to represent people who have masculine NB/GQ identities -The androgyne symbol -The neutrois symbol -The xenogender symbol -The outherine symbol -The genderless symbol -The demigender symbol -The multigender symbol -The genderflux symbol. The genderflux bodies are a gradient, to represent fluctuation - black for genderless states, grey for demigender states, and white for fully-gendered states. -The third gender symbol

It also includes the transgender flag, genderqueer flag, altersex flag, and intersex flag.

Each of the bodies have three shapes, to represent how no gender has a specific "body type."

The "A" in LGBTQIA+ stands for all "A" identities, such as Aromantic, Asexual, Agender, and also Androgyne!

As nobody seems to know / nobody (almost) ever mention us as a part of the acronym, I will for everyone.

Has anyone else noticed the utterly adorable sprite that floats by in the background of the newest guest visit space background? Of little fluffy MC, Sheep-chan, clinging to a little rainbow trailing after a falling star? Well I certainly noticed it, and thought it was totally and completely precious. And perfect for a pride symbol too! So here I have made sprites of Sheep-chan clinging to pride flags as they trail after falling stars! I'll be posting them to my Redbubble shop later, but for now, I just wanted to share these little cuties! I hope you find them as adorable as I do!

These designs are available in my Redbubble shop for anyone who might be interested!

If I've missed a flag you'd like to see, please feel free to let me know, I just did a bunch that I could think of!
