there is a lot of art of trans women being depicted with hyper exaggerated feminine proportions that overall just feel unrealistic as fuck. all Happen to be mega skinny too and it bothers me nowadays especially as I've met other women who just, look diverse as fuck - ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

Valid. All people regardless of appearance are all pretty.

This is why I love your transfemme characters they make me feel so seen and human

Beauty standards in media have definitely done some of that damage. In my case those thoughts still creep in about me not being good enough, luckily far FAR less than they used to.

.......sorry 'bout that

zanphlos.bsky.social•37 days ago

Don't be its your charaters they can look how ever you want

hazelthewitch.bsky.social•37 days ago

I know, I just feel bad perpetuating that kinda stuff, especially since I'm doing it out of some misguided desperation and poor self-image, if I'm being fully honest.

zanphlos.bsky.social•37 days ago

Its all made up standards and lables that they make increasing impossible to adhear or just outrught antisexual preaching anyways, if it makes you feel better even a tiny bit better/comfy do it, dont let other people who wouldn't give you a care in the world limit how you express yourself

I feel you, I understand that, words to live by. It just seems weird to say this in regard to someone like Salem, who is mostly just pointing out a very off trend of drawing trans women in a very exaggerated, sexual style 9 times out of 10, that I end up doing as well.

Gosh do I feel this when I see a trans fem character with hips wider than her shoulders and a tiny waistline.

w0lfertinger666.bsky.social•37 days ago

it's why I'm somewhat doing the complete opposite by making my transfem characters clocky but still readable as trans women.

girls love Hitomi so much I am very surprised cuz I changed her body to match my own gf and it resonated with others super hard.

You're validating to many, including myself, for showing more than a dream fantasy but what a hopeful future may look like

I don't wanna be measured up against any other woman

Your art normalizes our bodies stands out and it shouldn't be unique to your style alone

We deserve more representation

It's really really good.

w0lfertinger666.bsky.social•37 days ago

i think that is the power of drawing different body types. you aren't just drawing for "brownie points" you are literally showing a mirror to other people and going "you exist and matter too"

ballistic-banana.bsky.social•37 days ago

thats my favorite part about body positivity, showing how diverse and interesting the body can be when its not just the same 3 unrealistic body types, and i hate how people will immediately call out fat as fetish

pyrosshade.bsky.social•37 days ago

plus it still stands to reason that more people could stand to see the beautiful variety there can be with women. Who knows what people could realize they woulda never known they would like until they see it.

superpiko.bsky.social•37 days ago

genuinly omg it's genuinly crazy how hard you have to look for a tgirl that isn't super hyper dommy mommy with massive bulge or uwu smol bean who just looks like a cis girl. Clocky Trans people are just so awesome I wish there was more art of us.

littlelucius.bsky.social•37 days ago

I think your depictions are good precisely because you have trans women involved in your life who look like this and have willingly been your muses is the thing.

You've always stood up against transmisogyny in my experience. It doesn't begin & end at drawing clocky tgirls, you are a genuine ally.

downthedonuthole.bsky.social•37 days ago

been meaning to say this yeah

lavojeto.bsky.social•36 days ago

On one hand I want everyone to enjoy their characters and be able to look at them and go "Oh my god what a hottie"

On the other I love more making my own characters look like me to an extent so I tried to go for a mix of masc and femme

Hitomi might actually be the first transfemme character I’ve seen that physically looks like my body type. She has helped my confidence a lot because she is gorgeous, and seeing the reaction people have to her has made me feel gorgeous too. 🖤
