Here's a recently finished watercolor painting of a mechanitis polymnia! The reference was from a cellphone photo I took at the Detroit Zoo's butterfly gardens.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

What would have been better:

"Are you in favor of 'biological males' playing women's sports?"

"It's very rare, and the only people who should be concerned with it are those directly involved: the parents, the team, the sport's governing org. Otherwise, its nobody's business but theirs."

NEW: We're asking a court to expand our clients' recent legal victory to ensure that all transgender, non-binary, and intersex people can be issued passports with the correct gender marker.

1. In a landmark ruling, a federal judge has blocked the passport ban for transgender Americans... government ban likely violates equal protection, and is made with animus.

Though the ruling only applies to plaintiffs, it is expected expand in coming weeks.

Judge Blocks Passport Ban For Plaintiffs, Citing Government Animus And Equal Protection
The federal judge ruled that transgender people's passport changes do not, as the Trump executive order stated, deprive the "dignity, safety, and well-being of women."

1. On Friday Night, it became apparent that historic LGBTQ+ clinic Whitman-Walker in DC had erased trans care and resources from it's website.

The stated reason is harmful to us all.

I make my case against it, and other orgs, erasing us for federal dollars.

If you're cis, one thing I'd like to impart with regards to trans people is that you are being lied to on an almost unfathomable scale, from billionaires like Musk, to religious fundamentalist groups, to print and broadcast media, to entire governments, they're committed to spreading malinformation.
thatbonnie.bsky.social Bonnie @thatbonnie.bsky.social · Dec 5
Literally this.

If you are a cis person, even if you are an expert in some field that affects trans people, and you *think* you know some facts about trans people, I can almost guarantee you believe some things that are insanely wrong.

It blows my mind every day. I think a lot of it also has to do with preconceived notions almost everyone has from all the myths they've heard their entire life about trans people. They think they already know everything, so why listen

#birds
A striking bird perches lightly on a moss-covered branch, its vivid plumage a stunning combination of bold black, pure white, and radiant yellow. Its snowy white chest fluffs out proudly, contrasting beautifully with the dark cap that frames its alert, glimmering eyes. Bright orange legs grasp the branch delicately, adding a splash of warmth to the vibrant palette. The soft green blur of the background enhances the sense of depth and tranquility, capturing a moment of pristine elegance and natural charm in the heart of the forest.
