When I say "Trans rights are human rights" I don't just mean that as a call for action for LGBTQ rights. Trans people and other members of the LGBTQ spectrum have been and still are systemically disenfranchised from "normal" society via the health care systems around the world. From the AIDS crisis that conservatives viewed as a just punishment towards gay people to current day gatekeeping of life-saving hormone therapy for trans people, we are all at risk of being treated unfairly and having life-threatening situations thrust upon us simply because we're not "normal."

Another group that falls into this same risk are disabled and differently abled people. I wanted to make this sequence as a matter of representation, because I've never seen a differently abled person be featured in TF art unless they are also magically cured of their difference. And you can argue that I might have gone the wrong way with this sequence by not really changing anything about her disability, but to me it's not like that. The real issue for differently abled and disabled people is not that they are differently abled or disabled, but that society does not respect their right to exist the way that they are. Ramps, elevators and areas made for ease of access for disabled people are seen as wasteful by the public at large, which inevitably gives people the wrong impression that disabled people are a drain on society's resources. Which they aren't.

At the end of the day, the only reason we abled people pity the differently abled and disabled people is because we think there's something wrong with them and not the world. So someone in need of a wheelchair has just as much right to have one as they have a right to be free of their disability. Also, wheelchairs aren't cheap and a lot of people in need of them can walk, it just hurts a lot.

"Trans rights are human rights" is not just a call for LGBTQ freedom from persecution and stigma, it's also a call for healthcare and respect for all humans, regardless of how they appear in society.

Look, trolls and nerds. Not a single one of your hateful comments affect me in any way other than getting to chuckle at how easily triggered you are. I'm sorry your precious feelings got hurt by what I make, but I don't care what you think. And also, I can hit the block button as many times as I need to, so you're just wasting whatever time you have left in your lives. I hope your crops fail, that you get fleas and that your houses burn down.

The rest of you are super sweet tho and I love you all <3
