#tdov2023

[so-i-did-this-thing]

Hard to decide what to say for Trans Day of Visibility 2023, when we're constantly smeared in the news and are a focus of over 400 anti-lgbt bills across the United States.

I hate that, to be trans, you have to become an expert in politics and healthcare, and even then, cis people brand you as "too close" to the subject to make your own decisions about your body, or even argue for your rights.

But trans joy will persist, due in part to us being informed and looking out for one another. I'll be turning 46 soon and continue to achieve personal milestones that felt impossible when the depression of the closet was so unbearable. This year, I broke the 6-figure salary barrier in my career, something I never imagined possible back in 2007 when I was living in poverty and squalor after a cruel, paranoid ex-boss destroyed both my life and transition savings via a bogus non-compete lawsuit when I dared to leave his company. I wouldn't start HRT for another 3 years.

Trans people will continue to exist, and planning can help you become more resiliant. I suggest fellow trans folks take a look at how I'm urging people to prepare in Florida as our healthcare here stands to become a near-ban.

And I urge everyone to contribute to individual aid -- most of my new salary is going towards moving out of Florida + recovering from the financial damages of my time in poverty (and there's oh so many damages), but I've still been able to fund some birth certificate changes in full, and contribute to some surgery funds.

So, stay strong and take a deep breath. I don't know what the future holds, but you're not alone.

I was planning on taking a break today but I felt a calling too strong to ignore! Happy Trans Day of Visibility! We will NOT be erased.

Pizza is once again here and even more visible than usual to celebrate Trans Day of Visibility!

Wasn’t sure I wanted to redraw last year’s pic because I didn’t think I had improved that much. Happy to see some visible improvement though!

Happy trans day of visibility to all my transgendered siblings ✨

Quick doodles of Mandrake’s funky top surgery scars, and a bonus pre-op older Mandrake because trans men tits are the core of a functioning society, along with old queers.

Members of the Harriet Tubman Center for Social Justice and the Socialist Unity Party joined activities on March 31 in Los Angeles demanding an end to the genocidal attacks against the trans community. As the crowd swelled at Hollywood and Highland, protesters marched into the intersection, allowing only ambulances and city buses through.
