This is a bit of a pet peeve of mine but it's important. I see terms like genderswap, and genderbent/genderbender and transgender getting misused a lot. And the pics show the male character as a female, but those are sexes not genders.
Gender is the mental identity and societal role one takes on. A person can say have boobs and be a man, but still be a female. Basically sex =/= gender, they are two concepts which are commonly associated with one another but aren't required to co-exist.
Sex is your genitals/genes; penis, vagina, xy,xx, xxy, yyx, ect.
Gender is your mind and role in relation to societal norms. (man, female, a gender, non-binary, ect.)
My alternative suggestion term to this is "spectrum slide", not mine but I like it.

New Job! Happy Pride
Long time no journal. After a long bout of unemployment I have found work as of last week and already started working there. I'm not a huge fan of the place, or their expectations but the location is nice. The structure of a job will be good though, once I figure out how to adjust energy levels after shifts and during my work week again. That way I can manage being creative, keeping up with media and interacting with folks. Sadly, it is in person work. However, part time and I'm wearing my N95's for every shift. Not just for Covid, but also because I don't want any dust to get in my sinuses and cause any issues. Additionally, Happy Pride month!
Shakura's Sunset 6th Anniversary
6 Years ago today I started posting my webtoon/webcomic and to this day it's 50+ page run is still one of my proudest accomplishments https://www.deviantart.com/vyctorian/art/Shakura-s-Sunset-Page-1-557961488 In lieu of flowers, do something creative. I was motivated to do so by the passing of Monty Oum (Dead Fantasy, Haloid, RWBY) earlier in that year. Thank you, Monty. We'll always miss you.
Devious Journal Entry
I bought my first art tablet with a screen display and just holding it in my hands I felt the symbolic weight it carried with it like when I got got my first art tablet.
That "holy shit, I AM an artist" internal validation, followed by a sense of responsibility and determination that isn't super intense but comes from deep down and shifts your expressions and thought process instantly and instantly evaporates any buyers remorse and questions on if this was the right purchase.
I haven't waned philosophically on art and being an artist for a while at least not in written (for consumption form) but it's always on my mind.
I may not draw or cr
