People In Color By Vivian Maier, 1960s-70s.

[Gesturing furiously at the section of the history books about the rise of fascism]

i don't know if people know this but the idea that AGAB is useful in medical contexts is actually actively dangerous

one of my friends has CAIS. they were assigned female and have a prostate. they have been denied prostate exams multiple times on the basis of "being assigned female" despite insisting that they had valid concerns about symptoms that aligned with prostate cancer. guess what happened when they finally got an exam? they ended up having prostate cancer

it fortunately is now in complete remission, which is why they're comfortable with me talking about it, but you see the issue here? biology is never as simple as assigned sex, by judging the care someone needs by their proximity to maleness or femaleness any mixed or otherwise "abnormal" sex characteristics they have are completely ignored

it doesn't just affect intersex people either, you're throwing trans people under the bus as well. transitioning does change your sex characteristics, trans people should have access to medical care that is catered to their body and not to their assigned sex

posted this on my instagram, but wanted to add it here, too

constantly feeling like a fish out of water everywhere you go unless you're intoxicated is actually a sign of being god's favorite

This is fine, I'm fine

Sketch of Alex Chilton I did in under an hour in class today :P

I struggle with proportions so usually I take a photo halfway through the process and overlay it with the reference to see if everything's right. Didn't bother to do that today but I think it's okay

Sci fi should bring back the sweaty tanky top muscle woman fighting for her life but give some fucking underarm hair
