Huh, yeah I thought it might be that
3 Aug 25 - New study shows vast "over-representation of trans boys" turns out to be vast _under-representation_ of trans girls bec. they: a) come out ~10 years later; b) start puberty later; & c) delay transitioning longer because of deep social animus towards AMAB femininity.

Hair tips! (with Otti!) Just some brief pointers on how I usually do hair
Included in the alt text are some extra comments I couldn't fit into the image, so take a look there!

![Title: Hair Tips
(Note: EXTRA mean stuff that aren't in the image)
Body: (left to right/ top to bottom)
1 - Sketch mainly focuses on big shapes, then add in small strands.
EXTRA: Don't worry too much about perfecting the lines in the sketch layer, because you'll be drawing over them anyway later. Just have the main shape you want. Start with big shapes, then add in smaller shapes/lines.
2 - Simple flat colours
3 - Basic shading:
> Bright + Saturation on both top and bottom
> Darker in the middle
EXTRA: This is mostly a style thing, I don't always follow it myself, so you can mix and match and just do whatever here really, just a basic gradient for now is good.
4 - Basic rendering + blending
EXTRA: I use a flat thin regular brush for this part to blend in the gradients and add some separation in strands, but it's okay to be muddled here as well, the magic comes later.
5 - Over the line-art, draw thin strands by colour picking corresponding[ly] to the area you're [drawing] the strand in.
EXTRA: spelling mistakes lesgooo. Anyway, for this part, the strands shouldn't be too big (you can use a very generic brush for this really, I just use a flat one sometimes, and sometimes a round brush). The strands you add here give volume and depth to the hair. Add them in accordance with the flow of the hair, but don't be shy to go against the flow sometimes (stray hairs), and the most important part is to outside the hair shape from the sketch by a little bit.
6 - Add in even thinner strands over the line-art and use them for highlights. Side note: I increased the top and bottom saturation using the overlay layer.
EXTRA: same as the previous step, just use much thinner strands (sparingly) to add highlights, and for little stray hairs, going against the flow here is usually better to make the hair volume pop out more!
Experiment and have fun!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pb7gp4lz3cslvw4oha36b4fa/bafkreiarcduyjxciyj6twop7t53vjbqmnytrb6mpyj4cm6pvy7wsfmhkea@jpeg)

i do wanna yap about this for a bit. My characters (trans or otherwise) were never really created with their gender/sexuality first, pretty much all of them were created in writing and explored them, and the "vibe" I get is what I go for- as in, I go for what the character themselves give me

If all porn is made illegal, you can also make illegal the expression of any person you hate by defining them as obscene and pornographic.
"Existing while visibly trans" will be argued to be pornographic. Women dressing insufficiently modestly will be argued to be pornographic.

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively.
Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

Well, here we go. The GOP has just introduced a bill to effectively outlaw all pornography.
The bill dismantles the Supreme Court's Miller Test for obscenity, removing provisions that the content be patently offensive to community standards.
