Hey. You Should Love Trans Women More Than You Hate Terfs. You Should Love Trans Men More Than You Hate

hey. You should love trans women more than you hate terfs. You should love trans men more than you hate radfems. You should love nonbinary people more than you hate conservatives. You should love intersex people more than you hate bio-essentialists.

That’s all

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!

A four-panel comic featuring typographic art and crisp, colorful vector graphics. The first three panels are of bold, white all-caps text on a black background. A larger, fourth panel spans below them.
Panel 1: "THEY CAN BURN OUR BOOKS" (The largest word, "burn" is filled with an image of burning fire.)
Panel 2: "THEY CAN BAN OUR BODIES" (The largest word, "ban" has a bright red no symbol behind it.)
Panel 3: "BUT OUR COLORS WILL STILL LIGHT THE SKY" (The largest words, "our colors" are filled with an image of the trans pride flag.)
Panel 4: A sunrise with soft pink and white clouds stretching across a pale blue sky. The colors used are the same colors and layout as the trans pride flag. The glowing, white sun rises above mountains that are silhouetted in black. The text "TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS!" is shown in bold white text across the mountain range. The small artist's signature in the lower right corner reads "Nova '25".
