As anyone who follows me knows, I am a big supporter of LGBTQ rights. Recently, DeviantArt showed that it doesn't understand what the T in that statement means. They have decided that, to be on DevArt, you have to be male or female ONLY. Which I guess cuts out anyone transgendered (by the way, what the T means) or anyone who doesn't fit into the typical male/female mold. Now, I'm basically a female. I've been questioning it lately but this really isn't the appropriate time/place to discuss it. My main point is, I've realized that in my supporting of the community I've spent a LOT of time on the LGBQ portion and not a lot on the T. It has a lot to do with the fact that I don't really KNOW any transgendered/genderqueer/what have you people. Regardless, it ISN'T a good reason to not stand up for it as vehemently as I do LGBQ rights. If DevArt came out and said "gay/lesbian/bisexual people are NOT allowed on here" (and they've certainly shown some gay panic in the way they run things), I'd be out of here in a heartbeat. Now I'm going to do what I should be doing: protesting against the belittling of ANYONE who's different.

A lot of this comes from how they've treated people who've tried to complain about it. Giving them constant brush-ofs and going so far as to post this: "Look down between your legs. If you see a penis, choose Male. If you see a vagina, choose Female. If you see a penis but don't feel male, than pick Female. If you see a vagina but don't feel like a female, then pick Male. If some days you feel one way and other days you feel the other, then switch it as you see fit. And if you don't like either, go eenie meenie minie moe to make your choice and select to not show anything. You can write "Unspecified" or whatever the hell else you want anywhere on your profile with the exact same effect. No one but yourself cares whether it says "his" or "her" on your profile. People can't go around calling you "it" all the time anyways." (posted by nokari, [link])

It's rude, and it's nasty, and it's not something I'm going to put up with anymore. If anyone (yes I KNOW I only have like five watchers P: ) wants to follow me, I'm moseying on over to Artician. You can find me here: [link]

It's been real..ly something DevArt, but peace, I'm out.
