Did you know, if you try to search for "travesti" on this site, you know, a whole fucking transfem identity with centuries of history, you get a warning message telling you that that's a baaaaaaad word and that you shouldn't be searching for baaaaaaad words. But you can still search for "trans" or "transgender". I guess it's only acceptable to not be cis when you're not from the third world.

@progressivejudaism Thank you for your amazing post. I have a little comment to do. I think the emphasis on embracing diversity would be better shown if rather than just saying that (cis, trans, enby) women and (cis, trans, enby) men wear women’s/men’s clothing, which is already an important statement that our gender identites are real and genuine (I speak this as an enby futch mspec lesbian trans woman who’s very interested in conversion), we should also state that femmes wear femme clothing, butches/mascs wear butch/masc clothing, androgynous people were androgynous clothing, to emphasize how you talked about gender presentation and gender expression… Maybe the point would be reinterpreting the sentence further more. Yes, girls wear girls’ clothing, but maybe that’s precisely what it means that we experience this clothing as a girl, that if we’re femme, we’re gonna wear a particular clothing, if we’re butch, another, if we’re androgynous another set of clothings… So it would be still girl clothing precisely because it’s clothing appropriated for girls because there’s a diversity of styles and gender presentation among girls. Chag Pessach Sameach and thank you once more for this post. I’m gonna save it for future study later on. I think it’s an important perspective on the topic. :)

I'm worried about men having sexual relations being forbidden in the torah. As a member of the LGBT community this scares me, do you think it is just because it was a different time and this was more considered a sin of man against his wife? That's all I could come up with, but I just can't make myself believe that G-d would condemn something as such between to married people who are in love.

Hi there,

You have an extremely valid concern.  I believe that a literary analysis of the material can help to illuminate why “the two verses” exist in the text and how we can better understand them as contemporary Jews.  The most quoted verses of the Tanakh which aim to indignity LGBT+ folks are Lev. 18:22 and 20:13 (”man shalt does not lie with man”) and Deut. 22:5 (“a man shalt not wear women’s clothing”).  I apologize in advanced for the massive amount of text present, but it is all important in order to validate and illuminate your concerns.

OKAY so I haven’t drawn (or had) a Star trek OC in like at least 8 years, but I was struck two weeks ago with inspiration and here they are - Vulcan science liaison Ych’a (pre-transition) and her Klingon escort, Kras!

Geni and the Zeppelin

Composed by Chico Buarque and in this video sang by the actress and singer Letícia Sabatella, it’s a famous Brazilian song from a 1960s musical. It portrays a transfem character mainly a travesti who is also a cabaret singer. In this song and in this musical, she is always shown in a humanized way respecting her identity and her pronouns.

I myself translated / adapted translations to the lyrics because I think that the other available English translations are not good enough.

“Of all deviant folks From mangrove and from haven’s pier She was once a girlfiend Her body is there for roamers blind people and immigrants It’s for those without possessions

She gives herself since a young age In the garage, in the cantina Behind the tank, in the bush She’s the queen of prisoners Of female crazy people, of lepers Of internship boys

And she often goes as well With unhealthy elders And widows without future She’s a well of goodness And therefore the city Goes repeating on and on

Throw stones at Geni! Throw stones at Geni! She was made to be beaten! It’s good to spit on her! She has sex with everyone! You cursed Geni!

One day appeared glowing Between the clouds, floating A huge zeppelin It hovered above the buildings Opened two thousand holes With two thousand cannons thus

The city, terrified Remained still Ready for becoming jelly However from the huge zeppelin came down its captain Saying: “I changed my mind!”

When I saw in this city Such horror and atrocity I decided blowing it all But I can avoid the drama If that charming lady For this night serves me

This lady was Geni! But it can’t be Geni! She was made to be beaten It’s good to spit on her She has sex with every one You cursed Geni!

But in fact, her of all people So poor and so simple Captivated the foreigner The so showy warrior So feared and powerful Was now her prisoner

It happens that the maiden (And it was her secret) Also had her whims And rather than laying with such a noble Smelling so much glowing and cupper She would prefer laying with beasts

Listening to such a heresy The city in pilgrimage Came to kiss her hands The city’s major on his kness The bishop with flusing eyes And the bankowner with a million bucks

Go with him, go, Geni! Go with him, go, Geni! You can save us all Bring us all into redemption You have sex with every one You blessed Geni!

There was so much asking So sincere, so felt ones That she came over her disgust In this lagging night She gave herself away to such paramour As someone does it to their hanger

He made such a dirt Besmirched himself all night long Till he got satisfied And not even full dawn He went away in a cold cloud With his silver zeppelin

In a sigh of relief She turned her side And even tried smiling But soon came in the morning And the city in a choir Didn’t let her sleep

Throw stones at Geni! Throw shit at Geni! She was made to be beaten! It’s good to spit on her! She has sex with everyone You cursed Geni!

ADHD can feel like it gets 'worse' when we get older and have to organize ourselves more - the same thing can happen when we start working from home. For me, wfh is a double edged sword. It has it's upsides, but was also the reason I almost got fired and had to seek a diagnosis.

While I learned that I can generally concentrate better at home where I'm able to be inunterrupted or walk around when I need to, I was also unable to get myself to work for WEEKS without medication (and sometimes even now). I want to make a comic about how to deal wih this, but as I'm still trying to figure this out for myself (I feel like hardly any coping strategies work for me), I'll need a some more time to make it right. Also, this isn't trying to make a case for or against wfh!

Pomodoro technique = set a timer to 25minutes, then take 5 minutes break, repeat and adapt to your own time preferences

Body doubling = sit with someone in voice chat (without chatting) as you work, so you're less likely to wander off and start procrastinating

This ADHD and Autism Venn Diagram was requested even more highly than the ADHD and PTSD diagram, and I finally got round to making it…

friendly reminder that asexuality and aromanticism exist on a spectrum, and people can use whatever terms they feel most comfortable with to describe themselves!

this especially goes for demis and grays: your identities are REAL and GENUINE and anyone who says otherwise can fuck off

Fluidity goals. 😍😍😍

Don’t feel forced to use a certain label

A very simplified overview over the 3 diagnosable types of ADHD. It’s highly likely that you have symptoms from across the spectrum and not exclusively “hyperactive” or “inattentive” - that’s why I see ADHD( and ADD) as one big family. Look up the DSM-V for the actual symptom list!

Continuing from the last Comic, here is something showing how the huge amount of criticism and rejection we face for our ADHD symptoms can not only prevent us from getting better, but also teach us bad coping mechanisms - and how it might affect us even now in our daily life. Next up: How it affects me daily and what I do against it.

“Why criticism hurts so much" 

I’ve been working on a series aiming to explain why we can get so deeply hurt and afraid of disapproval that it will interfere with our life decisions.

Coming soon: 2/4 "Where does it come from?” ¾ "How can I spot it?” 4/4 “What can I do?”
