if twitter queers saw how I drew my trans characters let alone Salem himself they would probably combust
“uyyou see my fellow queers trans people are supposed to be depicted as super passing and skinny and white/eurocentric features only, plus post op, anything outside that box is evil and probably doesn’t exist”
hope y'all know a majority of trans folks from all the spectrum have trouble passing or don’t even want to pass and let alone can’t access hormones whatsoever whether it be financial related issues or abusive home situations. some trans folks are gnc and to push them into a box and say they don’t even exist let alone aren’t even trans just puts down folks who don’t look like the things I listed above. we’re actually cooked.
this shit especially makes me and my gf upset, I being a trans man and her being a trans woman, who take pride in our bodies because we will never see characters like us ever depicted openly (especially without it being a transmisognistic caricature as well)
and alot of the art I make is a love letter not only to her, but myself and my friends.
