*Big Emotion-Talk Moment*
I‘m gonna be honest-
I personally have my problems with my own pride.
I know I draw Zander in skimpy girly clothes, I draw sissification shit, I love putting him in pink so much I even changed his colour palette-
but irl I‘m. very dysphoric about anything feminine. I feel horrible about my hips, I cant bear wearing anything but black, I can‘t stand it when my hair grows out even the slightest bit. I basically live in fear of being misgendered all the time, mainly because I know most people around me are not educated or interested in trans-related topics- and I don‘t think I can expect that, either. One single „she“ can ruin my entire day and send me spiraling if it comes at the wrong time.
I hate being reminded that something is „wrong“. I hate it when I walk through the town I was born in and people stare like I was a show horse, trying to find whats „still wrong“ about me.
And I know the notion that something is „wrong“ about being trans is unpopular, but I can‘t change this feeling. I can‘t stop panicking when I get misgendered or somebody points out my hips.
So, being on here... is honestly kind of my way to deal with all of this and your comments on Zander being cute and fun without misgendering him are honestly,,, helping a lot, so thank you so much.
Maybe one day I can actually wear that flag.
Maybe one day I can wear shorts and knee-socks without feeling weird about it.
who knows.

Heya! Just wanted to say, no matter how you look, you are you. I know, dysphoria is really hurtfull. But even if your appearance seems to "betray" you, you are a dude. You'll always be, no matter how you look, no matter if people look at you in a bad way. I believe you can find a group of people who will support you and aknowledge who you really are and always been. At least, if you need support, I know that on this platform, you'll always find some.
Your art is wholesome, I love how cute Zander is and the way you draw him. And I truly hope that, as you say, someday you'll hold that flag with nothing but pride. You should feel proud of yourself for just being yourself, being so brave in a world filled with people that can often be very mean.
So, I hope you have a good day and I hope this made you smile at least. Keep it up! <3

Oh btw dude, I'd really recommend you to check out a musician called Dorian Electra. They are a gender-fluid artist who really dives into the topic of gender and gender non conformity. Honestly, if it wasn't for their music, I would not be the dude I am nowadays. Like, I embraced myself, my love for makeup, painting my nails... stuff that is not """boy stuff""".
Just telling you this because I think their art can inspire you to feel more comfortable with who you are, to just be yourself. I do hope it helps.
