Not strictly, it’s all inclusive gender positivity. It’s equally possible that the character is trans, gay, or cis. You don’t need attraction to recognize attractiveness
The reason I ask is because as someone AMAB, and has not transitioned or anything, I can relate to a weird sense of guilt for being attracted to girls but also being jealous. It’s hard to explain, and was just curious if this was a deep cut into my personal psychological experience or not =]
Oh! I don’t know anything about the artist, but I think it speaks a lot about how inclusive media is able speak to different people in different ways. I’m ace, and I had a similar realization that I don’t need to feel shame when I notice someone attractive.
Yah this is more the sexuality side of it, but I think anyone who id’s as lgbtq+ can probably relate at least a little. I bet even asexual folks have felt relieved by not feeling guilty for not being attracted to people.
I took it as a “I’ve finally become comfortable with the thing about me that society beat me into internalizing as wrong, fuck yeah” moment.
I love recognizing these similarities in our experiences - solidarity amongst queers is good! Apes together strong 🦧🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈💜
Is this a trans thing? I can’t quite tell what the artist is trying to convey, but this resonates with me…

Hey. I’ve felt some of those feelings. You’re valid.
I read it as being a gay thing mainly, but it’s definitely inclusive of trans experiences as well

Girls can be attracted to girls I guess?
