Y'know who you should draw? Julie from Drawfee, that's who. Deep blue ink has really good cartoon animations of them if you need a cartoon ref

i was going to caption this "julia lepetit for president" but im afraid she'd see this, go for it, and then die from overworking so instead ill say that she should be given all the power tools she wants for free until the end of time

(i'm taking requests rn!)

Hi I've seen you use the tag transfeminism a lot but I've never seen anyone else talk about it? Would you mind explaining it, or if not maybe pointing me in the direction of what to read to understand it? Thanks a lot in advance! <3

Yeah absolutely!

The most broad and basic premise of transfeminism is: it is feminist practice that works to incorporate the experiences of trans individuals into a feminist framework.

Depending on what theorists you engage with transfeminism is either a framework for the liberation of all trans individuals from the Patriarchy - or it solely focuses on the experiences of trans women and fems. I personally ascribe to the theories of the former, not the latter.

The best, and easiest, place to start with transfeminist theory in my opinion is with Emi Koyama's "Transfeminist Manifesto" - [ here ]. The first 10 pages are the Manifesto as originally written. The last 5 are a postscript to the manifesto and a bonus piece about racist feminism. I highly recommend reading the postscript, I find it fundamental to my own understanding of transfeminist praxis.

You can read more of Koyama's work on her website - [ here ] - and I highly recommend it! She's a profound trans and intersex advocate.

I also recommend trans theorists that pre-date Koyama such as Kate Bornstein, Leslie Feinberg, and Judith Butler. They're all nonbinary trans theorists across a multitude of identities and experiences. I love this interview with Feinberg and Bornstein a lot - [ here ].

Feinberg was prolific and the first author to truly advance the concept of transgender liberation - hir website [ here ] has a free PDF download of hir book Stone Butch Blues and several other resources on hir work and life.

Bornstein's books Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us and Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation are go-to's of mine regarding a relatively modern history and understanding of trans identity. Her My Gender Workbook: How to Become a Real Man, a Real Woman, a Real You, or Something Else Entirely really helped shape my own relationship to my gender identity really positively and profoundly!

Judith Butler's most recent book Who's Afraid of Gender is also incredibly good, however it is incredibly dense in an academic sense. It personally takes me weeks to get through Butler's writing because it is so jammed with information - and that's not to their discredit, it's just the way they write. I highly recommend looking up some of their talks and interviews on YouTube as they're an easier introduction to their work.

Personally, I don't like Julia Serano as an author all that much, but she is still an influential transfeminist voice to be aware of because she coined and popularized the term transmisogyny. I personally have a lot of criticism of her work - particularly her seminal work Whipping Girl - because it explicitly, in her own words, is intended to be distinctly different from the work of Feinberg, Bornstein, and Riki Wilchins (another nonbinary intersex activist) and is more interested in societal perception and binary trans womanhood over politics and liberation. It also stands in opposition to a lot of the liberationist ideals of the Feminists she claims to be inspired by. I've read the whole book twice over now and in my opinion it reeks of White Feminism. I don't recommend it outside of reading it for context to the wider transfeminist discourse.

Transfeminism as a whole is also deeply entangled with the politics of Black and Intersectional Feminist politics, as many of those previously mentioned authors worked with, worked around, or were inspired by authors like Audre Lorde and bell hooks. As such I highly recommend both of them as authors as well!! I think their work really helps set the framework transfeminist theory is also built around.

I hope this helps!!

I honestly find it hilarious how people treat Julia like she’s some kind of saint. “Julia is so perfect, Andrew doesn’t deserve her! Poor thing, she’s just a victim! I’m gonna create my ideal OC to replace it and make Andrew suffer!” when in reality, Julia is far from mentally stable.

Let’s be real: she ignored every possible red flag from Andrew when it came to Ashley, only to later act all shocked and start crying. “I hope you and your sister rot in hell” oh, please. 🙄

“But Andrew hid who he really was!” sure, but Julia turned a blind eye to a ton of signs that were right in front of her face. And there were plenty. She absolutely knew. Don’t even try to argue that she didn’t, because she 100% did. Lack of warnings wasn’t the problem.

And to top it off, Julia is way more like Andrew than people like to admit. She’s basically just a slightly more “normal” version of him, but deep down, she pulls the exact same stunt. She ignores the ugly truths when it’s convenient, then turns around and plays the victim card when it suits her.

Me and @dragomer reached that exact conclusion during one of our absurdly long talks about this game. Julia is sympathetic and has plenty of reason to be angry at Andrew and Ashley for, but she's not "innocent."

What she genuinely didn't know: how completely fucking insane and violent both Andrew and Ashley are, and that jealousy has already pushed them to murder, and thus that she'd be putting herself in harms way by dating him. If Ashley had killed her and Andrew either helped or at least allowed it, Julia would not be to blame.

What she absolutely fucking knew because EVERYBODY knew: Her boyfriend was only going out with her because he couldn't screw his sister without being shamed for it publically. If everyone was suddenly cool with incest and Andrew dumped her for Ashley, Julia would have no one to blame but herself, because that part of the situation was basically this meme

Can you do Julia and Paper Star first meeting? Like how would they react and what would they say?
