30 Minute Speedpaints (6 of 9) - Diana Franco

Passing: Profiling the Lives of Young Trans Men of Color (2015).

[ID: Excerpts from interviews with two trans men. The first, Lucah Rosenberg Lee, has a shaved head and a trimmed beard. The second, Victor Thomas, has curly black hair and a trimmed beard, and is heavier-set.

Lucah, talking about gender dysphoria prior to transitioning, says, “I was in a heterosexual relationship. I was female. I would question this all the time. Am I attracted to these men, or do I just want to be them? That was a big turning point in my own self-discovery.”

Victor, talking about the transphobia he’s endured as a trans man of color, says, “You’re subjected to something because they don’t understand you. And you have to watch the way you react, because you’re a man now. People take you as a threat.”

Lucah, in another scene, discusses feeling erased as a trans man, and racism in trans communities. He says, “Being so invisible within the LGBT community can actually feel so isolating. When people don’t know my history as a trans person, I feel sometimes that I’m viewed as more of an enemy.” END ID.]

Trans men of color deserved to be loved and appreciated, and made safe. Trans men deserve access to our own spaces, no matter how masculine and cis-passing we are. We deserve credit and recognition for the contributions that we have made to trans history, most of which are erased nowadays.

Being a man is not dangerous or wrong. Being masculine is not dangerous or wrong. Being a black man is not dangerous or wrong.

Please support trans men of color.

Please support trans men.

Please support men.

Men belong in trans spaces. Men of color belong in LGBT+ spaces. Straight trans men belong at Pride. Men do not have to be feminine to be queer.

Happy Asexual Day!

🖤💜🤍🖤💜🤍🖤💜🤍🖤

If you are ace (or on the ace spectrum) here’s some things I need you to know:

• You are loved

• You are not broken

• You will find someone who appreciates you

• You matter

• You are allowed to have boundaries

• You are valid

• You don’t have to justify your identity to anyone

• You are so fucking amazing and beautiful and wonderful

• You deserve to be happy

If you want to support the acespec community and be a good ally, here are some things I need you to know:

• Aces exist

• Asexuals are not broken or unnatural

• Society is inherently sexual, but aces are not lacking anything that would make them less human

• Asexuals can feel any way towards sex

• Asexuality is not the same as celibacy

• Asexuality is not a choice

• Being asexual doesn’t mean you can’t or won’t have sex, nor the opposite

• Whether or not an asexual person has had sex before is none of your business (and the answer doesn’t invalidate their asexuality at all)

• Aces are people, and their individual boundaries deserve to be respected, period

• Asexual itself is both a specific identity and an umbrella term

• Asexuality is a spectrum

• If someone says they’re ace, know that they might still experience some feelings of sexual attraction, and don’t try to invalidate them for it

I wish everyone an amazing day and happy supporting all the asexuals out there!

disney employees are starting a full week of walkouts leading to their big walkout on march 22nd, 2022. they’ve asked people to not use disney products during this week. (no disney+, hulu, espn, playing games, watching videos, reviewing/blogging about any of their IP, no going to the parks). this is a targeted and timed action you can concretely participate in.

they’re asking people to also support by using those hashtags and to sign their petition in solidarity.

Art tips for finding an art style!

Hey, friends!

It’s Meg and I’m so happy to be back! Special thanks to Paul for giving us two wonderful tutorials!

Today we’re going to have a little conversation about the dreaded ‘art style’ everyone seems to be in search of! As I was writing this I realized much of it is what I wish I could tell younger me, so excuse me if it gets a lil’ sappy!

As always,if you have any recommendations for tutorials send them in to this blog or my personal blog. Keep practicing, have fun, and I’ll see you next Tuesday!
