Da Boyz Say Trans Rights and so do I
I'm sure you have noticed by now, but if you haven't, it's Pride Month and as every year, we take this month to celebrate those people, that don't fall under the perceived "norm", be it in sexuality, gender or romantic attraction, it's a month where we remind ourselves, that we should not be ashamed of who we are, rather take pride in it. As I am a trans woman, this month is a reminder, that I should take pride in who I am and not try to repress myself as I have done for years before I finally came out.
So to celebrate trans pride this month, I made two Trans Orks(which I promise won't be my last ones).
I introduce to you: Matt and Tim
Tho unlike most trans representation I've seen during Pride month, I intend these two to be Transmasc orks, since i just don't very often see Transmasc people represented in our Hobby community and I think showing that there is acceptance not just for Trasnwomen, but also Transmen, might help Transmen to feel seen as well.
He comes with a cute little Transpride eyepatch and some cute teeth (tho admittedly most have been beaten out or used as payment for that sick sword).
And then we have Matt, who you might recognise as the nice Ork fella on my Banner, complete with the cute transpride facepaint.
I think the original model like Tim is part of the old Ork Spearchukka, but since I don't have that or the third crew member, these two goobers have become the subjects of my Pride Month painting project.
While Matt is originally an Ork from the grimdark future, where his transpride flag is the last thing you'll see before he headbutts you, this little fella is his fantasy equivalent, flaunting his Pride on his forehead as well ,although being more sensible and using a spear to do the krumpin.
Now why did I make this little blog post aside from showing off my cute Pride Project? Well I think, similar to the post I made at the beginning of Pride Month, it's a bit of my rambling, that may or may not help you as a queer person feeling more seen, or at the very least knowing, that you're not alone. And to my Ally friends out there, honestly I don't know what it will be to you, or what you take away from this. Had this been any other month I would not dare post a blog like this, where I feel as though there's nothing concise to take away, but this is Pride month and I think I can give myself the permission to let my mind speak freely.
So yea, Happy Pride month to all my fellow queer people, to my Trans sisters(Hi Leah :3), brothers and Enby siblings ( Hi Fiver ^^) oh and also, fuck TERFs, Homophobes, Biphobes and Bigots!
Rock on, Negan out!
