"but art should be accessible" it is, you can learn to draw, paint, collage, sculpt, make pixels. right now, starting today. art has never been more accessible monetarily nor physically than it is now in this age. access to artist labor and machine production is not an accessibility issue.

a comic about this stupid dream I had

A comic. Panel 1: Emma is standing at her bathroom mirror, her hair is pulled back and she’s putting on mascara. Panel 2: Emma, facing away, pulls on a top over her bralette and skirt. Panel 3: we see Emma’s hand reaching for a fake mustache. Panel 4: She is affixing it to her face. She looks frustrated.

A comic. Panel 1: A newscaster sits at a desk and speaks to the camera. “Beginning today, the Factual Accuracy in Gender Roles Act goes into full effect. Panel 2: B-roll of two women sitting at a table, talking. They are each wearing fake mustaches. Voiceover: “the controversial new law requires transgendered individuals to wear state-mandated accessories that identify them by their assigned sex at birth. Panel 3: a politician speaks angrily into several microphones. “No longer can these deceitful transgenders hide their TRUE selves!” Panel 4: The newscaster says: “to provide funding for the new initiative, public libraries will be closed statewide on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesday, Fridays, and weekends.”

A comic. Panel 1: Emma, wearing a fake mustache, pushes a shopping cart through the produce section of a grocery store. Panel 2: A man wearing a large ribbon in his hard approaches from the other direction. Panel 3: they pass each other and share a glance. Emma feigns a smile under her mustache. The man frowns. Panel 4: they each continue walking in their own directions, both looking down.

A comic. Panel 1: a trans journalist speaks to the camera. “Great news today from Pennsylvania where state legislature has voted to repeal a recently-instated law that was negatively affecting its gender-nonconforming community. Panel two: a selfie of someone in women’s lingerie with a bow on the back of their head. VO: the state-mandated gender markers became widely fetishized almost immediately upon going into effect. Panel 3: VO: “public outcry swiftly followed in response to the markers’ newfound lewdness.” An interview with an angry mother is shown: “women parading around publicly in fake mustaches?? I don’t care what they do behind closed doors — just stop rubbing it in our faces!” Panel 4: The journalist says, “to fund the repeal, public libraries in the state will no longer open Thursdays.”

Hi! If you are a trans person, you are likely affected by this. (ACA funding covers more than someone who is not a health policy wonk might realize.) If this thing passes, thousands of trans folks are going to lose access to everyday health care like hormones. If you care about us, speak up.

The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.

Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)
