Here it is! I’m not 100% sure if I like how it came out… it almost seems a bit too cutesy for the subject. Maybe I just like drawing cute clothes and bright colours too much! 

This is for a contest with the Canadian Human Rights Agencies for their conference in May. All the Advanced Illustration students and Design students had to enter as part of their final. Kinda pissed that they required us to print it off at 24 x 36…. which I think is way too big and expensive ($50!!) for most students and their budget. We don’t even get to keep the posters. And the top prize is only $200. I feel kinda ripped off. :/

EDIT: A couple of people have sent me notes saying that “Transgendered” is incorrect terminology. I apologize, I kind of added the text last minute, and should have known better. I’ve uploaded a fixed version. :)

So i woke up today, doing my regular routine. I checked facebook, reddit, youtube, and finally tumblr.. Boy was i wrong in doing that today.

AmazingAtheist, known for being controversial, decided to post his opinion on muffins. Now, just to let my dear readers know, i’ve always respected AmazingAtheist’s choices and opinion on even the most controversial of topics (Rape, feminism, atheism, etc), but i feel that this time, he’s gone overboard. No longer can i just stand there and watch.. I have to say something.

Who the fuck do you think you are, TJ? Don’t you know that you liking muffins is offensive to me? Nay.. To my people, to my race, to my nationality, to my sexual identity! How insensitive can someone be? I mean, never mind defending rape jokes, being lenient on suicide or hating on god. This is just.. Aaargh! It makes me so mad. You know, i was mad about the injusticies on transsexuals, but that’s all forgotten now. Him being in favor of muffins is just the worst! I can not stand by it.. TJ.. You have lost a fan *Dramatic voice*.

Women were born as women, and if they are a legal US citizen, then they are legally entitled to the same rights as everyone else.

Black people were born as black people, and if they are a legal US citizen, then they are legally entitled to the same rights as everyone else.

Gay people were NOT born as gay people, and have no special rights because of the CHOICE that they made to be gay. I have nothing against gay PEOPLE. It’s not homosexuals that I have a problem with, it is HOMOSEXUALITY. There is a big difference. As Christians, we are called to love everyone, NO MATTER what SIN they commit. It is a very misunderstood concept that Christians hate gay people. It is the complete opposite. True Christians love all gay people. I am not going to stand on a street corner and through fire and brimstone at you because you’re gay, even though I do disagree with your life CHOICE.

The way you phrase it here makes it seem like you don’t even want to give basic rights to homosexuals.. Which is the truth. And that means you have a problem with homosexuals, as much as you don’t want to admit that. But it’s true.. You’re a homophobe, Harry.

Heard that

Who am i to argue the points of Ernest Hemingway, a journalist, a Nobel laureate.. No one, really. But at least i could try to make some sense out of it. Or make a fool out of myself. Whichever comes first.

So first of all. “A feeling for beauty”. The best people has that, he says. But what does “A feeling for beauty” means? He doesn’t say “feeling for beauty”, so i’m guessing he isn’t trying to bring objectivity into something as subjective as feeling for beauty. But rather, a feeling for beauty. Which means that, as long as you’re able to feel a sense of beauty, for anything, you’re part of the best of people. But i have to ask. Doesn’t everyone have that? The reason why there’s a beauty ideal in different cultures is because we all have a feeling for beauty. Same goes for architecture. We all have it, i think.
But maybe he was referring to the simple beauty of nature. Considering his literature (What little i know of it), i would suspect that is what he means. And i guess that’s something not everyone has.. Maybe.. It’s very subjective, i feel. I don’t really know what he means by it.

“The courage to take risks”. I agree. The best people has that courage, if you ask me.

“The discipline to tell the truth”. This is a very Christian thing to believe, i feel. Because “discipline” would imply that you follow punishment morals. So instead of telling the truth because of empathy, altruism or what have you; you tell the truth because you’ve been raised or trained that if you don’t, you’ll get punished. And i personally don’t believe in that. So here, i have to disagree. You can be a good and honest person without any of that.

“The capacity for sacrifice”. That would be very altruistic, so who am i to argue this point. That is, assuming that he means self-sacrifice.

So the ironic part is that you’d expect a person of such great moral standards to be strong, but in reality, it makes them vulnerable. Well.. I would probably include some things about being able to live with your heart on the outside is virtuous, and not something bad at the end. But i feel that i’ve embarrassed myself enough. I like you, Ernest, but i can’t take to heart, what you said here.

And i struggled, and i struggled..

I wonder if all the articles about Google Reader and the “death” of RSS will actually make RSS more popular.

And who is saying “The death of RSS”? It’s more popular than it’s ever been. People seem to forget that those podcast feeds that they love oh so much — you know, the ones on iTunes — Are RSS feeds.

Aww. Thank you so much. I think i’m starting to get to that view too. I’m just so self critical. And i know that i’ll end up looking better as soon as i start hormones. ^w^
