gender dysphoria, reproductive parenting and mixing paint

Hi, hello,

This vlog goes into my recent experiences with gender dysphoria, which is basically distress over the person you feel yourself to be not matching the person you’re perceived to be. It’s something a lot of trans and nonbinary people go through, but you can also be trans and never experience this negative feeling over the mismatch. It’s one end of a spectrum, with gender euphoria on the other side.

We just had spring break with our kids, which was very tiring, but also very sweet. I did a couple small studio things—mixed some paint, cleaned a palette—that I show you in this video.

I’d love to hear from you about your own experiences with gender, and about how you’re keeping your art practice going.
