«Michael was protective of the frail old woman he believed her to be. So… so delicate, so forgetful, yet gently wise. He cared for her. He trusted her...»

This, but also with trans people in general. No one owes you any specific way of expressing themselves.
For example... This person goes by she/her, doesn't pass, but is still happy with her appearance and body? Great for her! I'm glad she is able to express herself how she wants to!!
We /need/ to demolish this weird way of thinking where we believe that what we expect should be what is shown/given to us. As said above, it doesn't make someone any less valid of a community member just because they don't 'look' it. We're supposed to support each other, not bring each other down.
"The nonbinary afab who goes by she/her, dresses femininely, and uses a push-up bra when I—" when you what? What's wrong with her?
Is she not nonbinary enough for you? Is the way she experiences her queerness and how she presents not perfect enough for you? Nonbinary people don't owe you androgyny, right? So why is she the exception? Why does she have to hate herself to appeal to your standards? Why is she any less trans—any less worthy of respect—cause it's "not visible"? Queer solidarity my ass. Don't spout this bullshit on Pride, man.
Goretober day 9!!! 😈
vv My list! vv
RadenWA is honestly a hero for these
they're got even more than these, too!
A wallpaper I made for my computer!
Yea the title writing on the front isn't centered because I'm bad at judging how much space I need (same for the spine haha)
But I still like it! :D
Also you may notice that the text on the pages doesn't look centered either- it's because I cut the right edges of the pages so they're all the same length, and I messed up the first time, so I had to cut off even more :') But the results are great cus the pages are now all the same length like a real book and you can see and feel that! :D
Overall I am very pleased with it. It's not perfect, but it's made with a lot of love :3 (there's several more mistakes but you don't see those so I won't need to mention them haha)
The art I used was commissioned by me & drawn by @rune-ko 💜
And of course I'll invite you to read this series on AO3 if you haven't already! It's 17 works with 150k words total, and the series is finished! Found here, of course: https://archiveofourown.org/series/3887746
