As much as I’d like this to be a comic or drawing, this isn’t. What this is about is a very dear friend of mine, Van Binfa. He has contributed to this page a few times and is an actively functioning advocate for trans* individuals. That is, until recently. Health issues have come up regarding taking T, and he hasn’t seemed well for a while. I’m not internet savvy, so I don’t know...

if you don’t believe fetishizing homosexuality is a problem, take a look at what mass media has done to lesbianism through out the eighties until now: propagated the idea that it’s a “kinky” side adventure for men to enjoy in a heterosexual relationship but not a real lifestyle, how many times you’ve heard someone ask you or your female partner or you’ve heard or seen...

There’s nothing more scary to white people than being called racist.
Why? Not because racism is disgusting and horrible, they just don’t want to be THOUGHT of as racist.
Never mind that Gabby gains...
