#23 Venus Nonetheless
If I could imagine anything to be true, it would be a world where trans people like me are seen as beautiful, and feel beautiful regardless of our identities. Often, trans individuals are discriminated against and alienated; made to feel ugly; but trans people are beautiful. To express this, I drew the symbol of love and beauty: Aphrodite, or Venus, reimagining the goddess as trans. I gave her top surgery scars and shorter hair, the former being something I myself desire, and the latter being something I have.
