Per festeggiare il 25 aprile e la liberazione dell'Italia dal nazifascismo, abbiamo chiesto a Margherita Giusti, regista del cortometraggio animato The Meatseller e vincitrice del David di Donatello, di realizzare un'illustrazione ispirata a Porco Rosso di Hayao Miyazaki.
Grazie a Margherita per il suo bellissimo lavoro: un acquerello che ritrae Marco Pagot e che cita una delle battute più iconiche del capolavoro di Miyazaki.
Irt the last reblogged post about transmedicalist beliefs. I wont proofread this because I just need to ramble
One thing I wanna emphasize is that transition as a concept isn't even something you need to adhere to to be "trans". If you end up at 25, 40, 70 years old etc. And come across a label, set of beliefs or descriptions that you feel you resonate with, that relate to how you feel about your gender, you can adopt those beliefs without any need to change your body.
Language is just a means of communicating ideas, the idea of a woman for instance will conjure up ideals in ones own head, those ideals are a box we use to frame what we know.
As a nonbinary butch "woman-adjacent" tranny I have to say there's nothing that feels more freeing to me than the idea of not needing to "change" anything about how I present to be exactly what I want to or feel like I am. The idea of "passing" is disgusting to me. The only thing you serve by enforcing the gender binary ideal is white supremacy. Anyone can be anything, gender binary is bullshit. It is a flawed and dangerous idea that women have to be hairless, that men have to be flat-chested etc. That genitalia is indicative of any gender expression.
Kill the idea that trans people look this way or that way. We are as varied and unique and diverse as any other group of people. We exist everywhere.
If you police how people speak about their own bodies, their own lives and experiences. You are aligning yourself with white supremacist ideals.
Quinn would have died from that snakebite if she wasn’t autistic. She woudn’t have known not to panic, and she wouldn’t have had the mental strength and objective reasoning to be able to look at the situation from outside herself and be able to stop herself from panicking and communicate to the others that that’s what she needed. I love that they had an arc that showed autism as an asset, without the need to loudly and overtly assert it. ♥️
