@phainomenons one time a “popular girl” asked me in genuine confusion, “you don’t look at people and immediately judge how ugly they are?” - same girl made racist jokes with her friends, mean to her friend about her sh scars, made jokes about the idea of me being groomed online etc
you have to have an immense amount of privilege to be trans. the time & privilege required to sit around pondering your gender identity…. very western! not a marginalized group whatsoever
my copy of Hanako Yamada´s posthumous anthology which includes some of her comics. unfortunately most of her work hasn’t been translated which is one of the reasons I started learning japanese long ago. One of the closest and dearest artists I can think of. I owe her so much
