Art/Creators Megathread Weekly Art/Creators Promo Megathread

5 Upvotes

Welcome to this Week's Art/Creators Promo Megathread!

Here you can share examples of work and links to creator's profiles (including your own!) as long as it is not on a Meta owned platform (Instagram, Facebook etc.) or Twitter.

Let's help our community artists, authors, designers, craft makers, musicians, singers, sculptors, performers, streamers and any other kind of creator get recognised and celebrate the amazing creativity in our community!

A few quick rules:

  • No AI/NFT Content.
  • Accounts shared must be creating own content, not solely reposting others.
  • NSFW Suggestive art (e.g. shirtless/pin up) is allowed but must be tagged. NSFW Explicit art (e.g. pornography, genitals visible) or NSFW suggestive of real people is not allowed. No links to exclusively 18+ platforms e.g. OnlyFans.
  • Creator must be actively posting on a platform other than Meta or Twitter.
  • Comments from users with less than 50 karma on this subreddit will be auto-removed to avoid spammers. (I will look to approve genuine ones when possible but no promises!)
  • Please respect if a creator says no reposts of their work - just share a link.

The art/work they create does not have to be LGBTQ+ related, we're here to help any creator who is LGBTQ+ promote their profiles, particularly if they're trying to establish themselves on a different one with the recent social media drama!

Looking forward to discovering some new creators with you all!

Resources for the community following the US Election

231 Upvotes

Hi all,

We're still working on a full resource but here's a slightly updated resources post for people following the US Election results last week. We are still working on a full resource, if you have resources or info to share or would like to help please reply to this post.

The news is still fresh, please take time to discuss it with your friends/family and take any time you need to process it. Please remember that although the news is deeply upsetting nothing is changing immediately, you have time to research and plan. It is better to make a good plan over the next few weeks rather than a rushed one that puts you in more danger.

Please be kind to each other, support each other as this community always has when facing difficulty. Please help make others who are unsure what to do next aware of the resources below. There is also a section for allies asking how they can help/learn more.

What you can do to help

  • Vote! At every possible level vote for candidates/parties that support equality and civil rights.
  • Turn up at local library/political events. Challenge book bans, restrictions on LGBTQ+ community etc.
  • Challenge hate where you see it. Speak up, call it out, even if it is from your friends/family let them know it's not ok.
  • Donate, fundraise or volunteer with LGBTQ+ organisations (see above list for some ideas! Or search your local area + LGBTQ+ support/charity/center). We have a fundraiser where Reddit have agreed to match donations to The Trevor Project currently.
  • Positivity - See someone in person or online being harassed or needing some support? Even just a few kind words can help.
  • Learn about the community - See some resources below, google, use r/asklgbt, we get many 'allies' who turn up in community spaces with demands for answers or explanations... The community has a lot to deal with right now please search for answers and ask in appropriate spaces.

I expressed my discomfort about my experience at the Hands Off Rally, and I was met with people trying to play down, dismiss & silence me.

You know what’s exhausting? Being trans in “progressive” spaces and constantly having to fight to be believed. Not even celebrated, just believed. Just heard without being dissected, debated, or dismissed.

When I said I didn’t feel comfortable at a protest, I wasn’t accusing everyone there of being a bad person. I wasn’t even saying the event was bad. I was naming a feeling. One that exists in spite of intentions. One that comes from years of navigating the world as someone who doesn’t always get to blend in.

I shared one post about how I was feeling, and suddenly I’m “playing the victim,” “making it all about me,” or even “hurting the cause.” People want to know exactly what happened, exactly how it made me feel, exactly why they should care. Like my discomfort has to be defended in court.

That’s the reality of being trans in liberal spaces: everyone’s an ally until you say something inconvenient. Until your truth disrupts their comfort. Until you bring up the quiet ways people make you feel “other”, the stares, the awkwardness, the polite but distant energy that screams you don’t fully belong here.

That’s the part people don’t want to look at. Because it forces them to confront the fact that just showing up to a protest or having “good intentions” doesn’t make you immune from perpetuating exclusion. They want allyship to be all flags and marches and cute slogans. Not something that requires actual self-reflection. But when it comes to the actual lived experience of trans people, especially when it’s subtle, especially when it makes them examine their behavior, they shut down. They lash out. They call it “negativity.” As if my experience is an attack on their image of themselves.

But allyship isn’t about flags, or reposts, or being able to say, “I was there.” It’s about whether or not you treat trans people like full human beings when no one’s watching. It’s about whether you actually see us, or just tolerate us. Whether you listen when we say, “This made me uncomfortable,” or jump straight to invalidating us to protect your ego.

People like to say “we’re all on the same side,” but clearly that only applies when no one questions the group’s self-image. If trans people can’t even speak openly in supposedly safe spaces without being shut down, interrogated, or treated like an inconvenience, then what exactly are we fighting for?

We are living under an administration that is actively trying to dismantle our existence. Stripping our rights, banning healthcare, erasing our identities from public life. And yet, even in “liberal” spaces, we’re still made to feel like we don’t belong unless we shrink ourselves down, soften our truths, and swallow the thousand subtle cuts.

Let me be clear: calling something out doesn’t “hurt the movement.” Silencing the people you claim to stand with? That hurts the movement.

If this is what we’re expected to accept from “progressive” spaces, it’s no wonder so many of us feel like we’re fighting this alone.

[OC] - what I can get

Now, let me be totally clear here, I don’t think my dad was a bad guy by any stretch of the imagination.  I also think that if he were still around he wouldn’t be a Trump supporter.  He was a highly intelligent guy, so the “support Trump because ignorant” angle doesn’t apply, and even if he did possess the willful malice that it would otherwise take to get someone to vote red, he was highly protective of his kids and I think he’d be an advocate for me.

I genuinely believe his concern over maintaining the function of my “nuts” was less about the standard conservative belief that a major part of a human’s value is their reproductive ability, and more about him wanting me to have as many options as possible when I was an adult.

That said, it is pretty hilarious that right out of the gate I decided that I’d never want biological kids and at this point in my medical journey almost certainly can not. 

I COULD HAVE ENJOYED SO MANY MORE HOT TUBS.

The lack of black trans representation and spaces is terrible!

75 Upvotes

So I'm 19 (Mtf) and I've seen very few spaces for specifically black transfems (and transmascs but I bet it's about as bad or probably worse for them). There also isn't really many resources or places where they can comfortably ask questions for guidance. I bring all this up and I've seen the r/blacktransgender subreddit but ive had a hard time with the subreddit, having my request to post under review for what is about I think a week now with no response. So in general especially on reddit I feel as if there is few resources for transgender people within colored communities. When there is resources it's hard to ask for help or knowledge. Finally there is just isn't much representation from what I've seen. Thanks for your time y'all!
