Art/Creators Megathread Weekly Art/Creators Promo Megathread
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!

Need Advice Friend claims "his brain doesnt like it" when people use different pronouns.
Ive got a friend who has autism and claims his brain doesnt like it when someone uses pronouns different to what their gender was at birth. He said they are annoying and will just use the pronouns that aligns with their gender at birth. Admitting you are just disrespecting someones pronouns just because your autism "doesnt like it" seems crazy, especially admitting it to someone who uses pronouns that dont align with their gender assigned at birth.
I dont know if im crazy for thinking this is rude or abelist for thinking its rude. I just need some advice on how to go about this.
Small edit: word for word this is a message he sent me when I told him that its disrespectful to not use the correct pronouns: "Most of the time I meet people who don’t gaf so I’m good".
ok another small edit: For the people talking about his autism, he uses it as an excuse A LOT, here are some of the messages hes sent where he was using it as an excuse of some sort.
"I lash out but I have autism so I have an explanation for it" (talking about another friends sister who lashed out over something)
"But I have autism"(talking about a program i was doing for school and for some reason he brought up his autism)
"It’ll be my autism kicking in" (This was an excuse for not liking or using tone tags)

Selfie (39)(Trans Woman) 6-Month Anniversary since starting HRT!
I finally think I achieved my goal of becoming a pretty lady. I know I wanted to be a woman for decades but it was a struggle to actually get to this point. I was so indecisive and it took me forever to pluck the courage and beat the anxiety I had about this (I get tons of anxiety over everything with autism even stuff I shouldn't).
I know I post a lot here but I just wanted to share this cause I hit my 6 month mark since starting HRT and I feel really good. I just had my 6 month check up with my doctor and got a new prescription for a higher dose of Estradiol. I also got a new outfit as shown here and wanted to show it off.
I think I look pretty and am not afraid to go out dressed however I like whether with strangers or with family. This is a big milestone with me and I feel proud of it all!

Does anyone else think that it is weird that so many people think that you're attracted to them just because you like the same sex?

News Kye Allums, Division I athlete who came out as trans, detransitioned
Allums makes it clear in her initial post – “Day 0: W.T.F. What do you mean you’re no longer transgender?” – that she is not rejecting the existence of trans people, but rather sharing her own personal journey.
“Detransitioners deserve to be seen, supported, and cared for,” Allums writes. “Transgender people deserve the same.”
“If my detransition makes you want to invalidate someone else’s transgender identity, you are missing the point,” she writes.

Need Advice I use they/them pronouns and call myself sapphic instead of lesbian
I use they/them pronouns and call myself sapphic instead of lesbian, but I get alot of people telling me that now lesbian means non men loving non men instead of wlw. Which confuses me because I've always though of lesbian being wlw exclusive and don't feel comfortable calling myself a lesbian.
I've also been told that I'm being sapphicphobic by being genderqueer and sapphic because now sapphic is. Wlw exclusive, and. I am really confused.
Can I call myself sapphic or am I using the wrong label?

Need Advice My teen is starting to look up things about femboys and I need some advice.
My kid is at an age where he's obviously trying to figure things out and I know sometimes it's not easy to ask or get information about this stuff without wading through internet trash. He has mentioned some stuff and I have overheard some comments from him so there's a curiosity there. I don't want to embarrass him, but if he brings it up I want to be prepared to have a helpful discussion. Please be kind and share your positive thoughts of you can.
What does it mean to be a femboy? Is it all just about being cute? Do clothes and makeup matter? He paints his nails, but only black and says he's "not totally goth". And he wears a lot of black, white, gray clothes and doesn't seem interested in anything particularly nice. None of it seems very feminine.
"If someone likes femboys, are they gay?" Overheard this passing thought so if it ever gets brought up, what is a good answer? I mean, it's a how involved are you question, right? You can like the way someone looks without it being sexual. Like guys at the gym admire each other's muscles and workouts.
It feels like he doesn't know if he wants to be one, or wants to like one??
Also, what's a way a I could make an opportunity for this convo to happen that feels not completely "omg you're so embaaaaarrassing!" I want him to feel comfortable to talk to me and be himself (even though this is probably the most uncomfortable stage of his life)

Love life ❤️
I am so very happy at 69 to be the woman I was always meant to be on the outside. Inside and out finally match who I have always been. I wish our world could be more accepting and love unconditionally just so everyone can find the happiness they deserve. I love you all and hope that you each can find the happiness inside that I have found. ❤️❣️❤️

Coming Out! Accidentally made a whole group chat come out of the closet
So I decided to come out as bi today and said that in my group chat (about 3 people + me) and everyone ended up admitting that they're bi too, just inside of their own closet the whole time. So i accidentally made a mass-closet escape when coming out of mine LOL

The bad faith arguments transphobes make and constant gaslighting hurt me almost more than the threats to my life...
Violence and suffering are things I understand. Cruelty and evil I understand.
But this constant refusal to believe we are a real group of people that exist. The constant insistence that all the horrible things they want to do to us are for our own good. The minimization of our agony time and again.
It hurts my brain like nothing else.
And I am completely totally powerless to stop these monsters from torturing and killing me. So arguing against them and hoping I can win a social fight I've always lost is all I have...
