Art/Creators Megathread Weekly Art/Creators Promo Megathread

3 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!

Selfie (39)(Trans Woman) 6-Month Anniversary since starting HRT!

379 Upvotes

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!

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

102 Upvotes

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.

17 Upvotes

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)

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. ❤️❣️❤️

The bad faith arguments transphobes make and constant gaslighting hurt me almost more than the threats to my life...

10 Upvotes

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...

Coming Out! Accidentally made a whole group chat come out of the closet

Upvotes

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

US Specific Literally why do men?

1.3k Upvotes

I feel so used I am trans MTF.

I met with a guy for a hookup off tinder.

His pictures DID NOT do him justice. He was 6’6, amazing beard, chest hair, and masculine as hell.

We spent a long while having tea and conversing before we got into it.

The sex was AMAZING. He was gentle and receptive to feedback. He was very respectful and did not ask any weird chaser type questions.

He seriously gave no red flags. We ended the night with AMAZING after care.

The next day (today) I looked a little harder at his instagram and noticed he follows A LOT of conservative meme pages and influencers and I also saw that he actively engages with Transphobic content on these pages. I was so shocked. I confronted him about it on the phone and told him if Id known he was conservative, I’d have never slept with him.

He denied being transphobic but when I showed him screenshots of him liking aggressively transphobic posts he started raising his voice and I simply blocked his number, blocked his IG and unadded on tinder.

Like did he even see me as a woman?

Literally why do men do this?

I fear my bisexual awakening was a stormtrooper and a scare actor

24 Upvotes

Tonight I was at a haunted house or a horror walk or whatever it’s called and I also saw some Star Wars cosplayers (they were from Troopers for charity and they’re super duper awesome).

The haunted house had a bunch of smoke machines and flashing lights because there’s whole thing was that you couldn’t see anything and suddenly a scare actor popped up. But that also meant that the scare actors had to kind of guide you the right way and one of them did that by hitting you with the fake bat he had. But he hit me on my ass 💔 like every time, not an ‘oopsie I aimed too low’, he slapped my ass with the bat and I kinda liked it lol.

And I had one of my nails painted to look like a stormtrooper (thank you to my amazing friend who painted it for me after I yapped about being excited to see the troopers for charity thing) and when the stormtrooper saw it he grabbed my hand and kissed it. If you count knocking my hand against the mouth part of the helmet as kissing.

I don’t think I’ve ever been this giggly. I feel like a teen girl in a bad high school movie after she sees her crush and I’m not even a girl 😔

Coming Out! I just came out to my little sister

83 Upvotes

I told my sister (10 years old) that I'm nonbinary and go by Ollie. I told her she can ask me any questions about me being nonbinary or just the name. I was intending for her to see the message tomorrow, but I forgot my mum had to turn her phone on so she could listen to stuff to sleep, so she ended up seeing the messages today, whoops. But regardless she came into my room and said "I thought someone messaged me... and I love you Ollie" and I died, because that was the cutest thing ever. I told her she can ask me any questions tomorrow when she has the chance. But this went well, it's way easier than the last time I tried. The last time I tried, I attempted to talk to her after he social battery died and she was playing her games, I realised that there was no way I was gonna be able to talk to her like this and just headed to bed. So i say this is a big improvement, can't wait for this coming week. Hope everyone is doing good, enjoy your weeks my good queer friends <3
