Art/Creators Megathread Weekly Art/Creators Promo Megathread

6 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!

TIL a heckler once shouted a gay slur at Freddie Mercury. In response, Freddie stopped the entire show, put the spotlight on the man and asked him to say it again. The heckler was left speechless.

What do i say now

So to keep it short i (18f, lesbian) met this girl (18f, bi) like a week ago at an event from our university and i asked for her number cuz i thought she was cute. I should've clarified my intentions at the beginning as now im unsure if she just wants to be friends or what. Which i would be fine with, but i just wanna know. But maybe lets not ask that right now. So anyhow we hung out the day after we met at her dorm and baked brownies together which was fun but the next day she never texted me. So i texted her eventually but she was very dry so i kinda just gave up. Well anyhow last night i texted her "meow" (idk why okay 😭😭) and she replied this morning with "meow" as well. Idk what to say now 😔 helpy

Need Advice I was just diagnosed with cancer and the only thing the doctor told me was to stop my HRT

963 Upvotes

Hey friends, I’m in a bad place. I, (39, MtF) noticed a growth on my neck about a month ago and finally went to urgent care last week. They forwarded me to the ER where they biopsied it and told me it was cancerous. Then they sent me home with a letter that said to immediately stop my HRT. Not only did they not tell me what the next steps were, nor did they provide me with medication or any guidance, but they couldn’t be bothered to at least explain to me why I need to stop my HRT in person and hide it in my discharge papers? So not only am I supposed to navigate this terrifying time without insurance, having suddenly lost my job four months ago, without any guidance from the medical professionals who saw me, but I have to figure out if I actually do need to stop my hormones after more than five years or if the doctor was just a transphobic jerk because I live in Florida. I keep reaching out to friends and family for some kind of advice and while I appreciate their concern, it’s only been two days and I’m already exhausted by everyone’s thoughts and prayers. I really need actionable advice rather than someone telling me how sorry they feel.

US Specific I have to change my gender on a passport.

284 Upvotes

I'm in Japan ATM and if I want to return, I have to go to US embassy and change it back to M again if I ever want to return to the US again. I don't even have a choice. I change it to F doing the golden only opportunity when the judge blocked the passport gender thing in the past. Now, after all that and I have to change it back, F me.

Edit: Thank you everyone for helping out. Reading comments from other trans people and looking at sources, I completely forgot about whatever I have now is still valid until I have to renew it if the administrator still kept this change. I will talk to him about it and maybe he will listen to me. If I still end up talking to a US embassy, I'll ask the important questions to truly convince my family member about not needing to change my gender marker.

Heartstopper is turning 10 today

So, oh man what to say!

I can’t believe heartstopper is turning 10 already and I’m so grateful for that because this story helped me through my teenage crisis and I started loving myself more after reading Hearstopper. I appreciate that heartstopper had asexual representation too.

Someone will say that Hearstopper is cringe but for me it was great great time💕

Have you read hearstopper too?

Live long Hearstopper <3

Need Advice My child told me today they were trans.

982 Upvotes

Now I guess I have a daughter. I've always wanted a daughter and I had two sons. I used to be transphobic, but I'm coming around. They want to go by Alexis now instead of Alex. Honestly, I'm disappointed, not in my kid, but because I wanted grandchildren. And my (other) son is autistic so I never saw him in a relationship. Maybe she'll find a partner and they'll adopt? I dunno how I feel. I want to support...her, but I'm just confused. For those of you whom went through transition, did your parents support you? If so, how so? I want to support my her but I don't know much about it. And I'm scared given the current climate where I live. (U.S.). I just don't want her to get hurt.

Edit: Thank you all for your thoughtful responses! I can't respond to all of them because there's just so many! I guess I was just dumb I didn't think about trans people having kids. I know autistic people can have kids, I just worry about my son. Oh, and I guess I worded it poorly, I'm their dad, not mom, sorry for the confusion. I don't know if my ex-wife knows about my trans daughter yet, but I know its not my business to tell her. But she's bisexual, as am I, so I don't see why she would have an issue with it. Honestly, I'm kinda excited to tell her, but I know my daughter should be the one. Yeah I know its up to my kids if they want kids. Maybe its a little selfish of me but I've always wanted a big family. I just worry about them a lot and I want them to have the best life possible.

My daughter always wears a braclette that says her new name. I always assumed it was his girlfriend. But I asked her about it while we were waiting for her doctor's appointment and she said "it's me" and showed me her heart shaped necklace that has the trans pride flag on it. I just said okay and gave her a hug. I should have asked more but I was just shocked. I support my kids 100% no matter what they do. We always thought he was gay, but now that I know this I feel better. Not that its about me, I understand. She's always talked about how she was worried about never finding a partner when she's an adult. I just hope she gets everything she wants. She's at a speical school now for smart kids, always had straight A's and wants to go into engineering.

My mom and grandmother I know will accept her. But my dad is an evangelical Christian and an ass sometimes. He doesn't accept me for being atheist and denies my abuse as a child (by my first step mother). I guess I shouldn't care how he responds but I'm just afraid he's going to push away his grandkids. But I guess I can't control how others respond.

Thank you again!
