Our media's reporting of trans issues is poisonous, unhinged, a betrayal by those who pretend to report impartially, and shamefully reminiscent of other hate propagandising throughout the last century. I'm surprised to see it in the UK but I need to learn that it is, since Brexit, just who we are.

adult beginner artists struggle to overcome, is the frustration barrier. The self-shame of doing something "incorrectly" or "unsuccessfully" just so completely takes them out. We are so adverse to feeling that sort of discomfort, that giving up (or not trying at all) is the "better" option.

Learning to draw can help you overcome that kind of discomfort. It helped me realize early on in my life that it was no big deal. I can just try again until i get it right. Drawing taught me how to be persistent, because it taught me that frustration is a fragile barrier that can be broken through.
