This is so gorgeous ;v; in so many ways-

That's so cute <3

This made me tear up. My brother is going through a fight like this right now, and it just brings me hope to know that there are others that are as sympathetic as me. Beautiful work and I am so happy to see this! You are valid, always remember that, Gill dear!

I know I'm not the only one who has their heart broken knowing you have to deal with such a painful struggle. I said so already on twitter, but it is great you have a friend like that to tell you that you are a valid woman.

This is really sweet <3 it’s a beautiful sentiment and beautiful art.

aaawww~ So precious~

*faved~*

I love this ;w;
*hugs*

awww, so touching dear

so sweet and precious

Such a sweet and tender moment. A very well done peace that captures the emotions of the moment perfectly.

As I said on twitter this hits close to home. Reminds me I'm not the only one who sometimes needs others to say words like that. We're all here for each other and sometimes all one needs is just to hear the right words.

You've always been beautiful to me and this is the ultimate validation of this.
Keep being amazing, girl!!

I have no words 4 how incredible this is. In more ways then 1. And, having a scarred heart, I can understand that being with others who actually care about u can really make a world of difference.

So I work hard 2 help others, by giving compliments, encouragement, telling jokes and more. Anything 2 make others' day just a little brighter.

How beautiful and wonderful! You have lots of people who have your back, and your feelings are very valid!

I’m also geeking out a little bit, because I didn’t know you were Butterscotch, and I have an adorable picture of you, myself, and Keggy and MFF! I’d be happy to forward them to you if you’d like! ^.^

So warming >_< and its cool

Wonderful!

beautiful and powerful piece!!

See this for the second time really triggered the fountains in my eyes. You really are a Big Girl! ❤️

You are and always will be best girl

I know the feels. Nuff said.

I've been on HRT for over 2 years, and I still hide myself from the world.

It isn't just of what other people might say or do, but I also just have a hard time accepting myself.

But it certainly helps, even just a little, to have people like this that support you in life.

Beautiful pic, Gilly ~

Aww ❤️❤️❤️ Im sorry to hear you're going through some rough times, just know i love you for who you really are.
Everything will work out ok

I like this a lot, great subject
Yet, this incident last year is still in my head when I got told I would hurt transpeople just by changing a characters sex, because I felt being herm just didn't feel right for that character anymore. Also, I should watch my mouth, otherwise I would be another JasonAfex, which was delivered in the manner of a threat or insult.

Now I know all of this this isn't about me, but it sucks so bad that the first conscious interaction with a transperson I had had to go like this. I catch myself automatically assuming that probably all of these folks are intolerant people shoving some agenda down my throat that I have no affiliation with.

Probably just the loud minority even normal transpeople dislike, but it poisened the well for me and them and now I have to fight a growing bias that I never wanted to have in the first place, which sucks again, because it would be easier to get over with if I had contact with an actual transperson, but I don't...

Responding to someone just mentioning being trans with a story about how some trans person hurt your feelings sure is a good way to totally not make it about you

Drawing and painting a whole image about a moment the artist considers extremely touching is not well described by "just mentioning being trans". All I did was sharing my only expierence with a person I definitely knew was trans (who presumed to speak for all transpeople, apparently) and nope, hurt feelings weren't part of the equasion, but the mere fact that you brought that up to me reveals what sphere you dwell in ~ have a nice day.

I think I know why trans people dont like you

I never said "transpeople don't like me".
I suggest you take your edgyness somewhere else since it is very unfitting, ESPECIALLY with you not writing something nice for Gill's work first, but instead trying to pour oil into a non-existing fire.

I also want to add that you are the third person now who doesn't seem to read or understand what I actually say.

T.F. Write, who is a real-life pro trans activist told me this "oh, sorry to hear that, that was an unfortunate thing to happen".
That was the best answer one can give and I honestly find it baffling what you seem to take away from what I initially wrote, prompting your reply.

If they liked you before, they sure don’t now LOL

The point is your comment was completely rude, unnecessary, and whether you intended it to or not (which isn’t something you get to decide), it’s designed to make the OP and other trans folks reading your sob story feel guilty when nobody asked for your commentary in the first place

also I commented on twitter already but nice try

that is not even remotely the definition of nihilism, try again

The majority of this comment is bringing unnecessary, anti-trans baggage into a trans person's mentions. The facts are that you're not even listening to people who are trying to tell you how tonedeaf you're being, rather, you're chalking it up to "loud transpeople." You don't actually care enough to at least consider the criticism you're being handed, or understand the insulting nature of your actions which cause frustrated reactions to your words.

If you would like to be liked by trans people:
1: Don't make a woe-is-me story about trans people, especially not in an emotional piece like this. Wrong forum, bud.
2: "Trans people," not "transpeople."
3: Refrain from using "Herm," its dehumanizing and fetishism of trans people and serves to piss us off before youve even made a point.

Yikes

Amen.

I think I know why trans people dont like you

Why did you feel it was necessary to post this?

My motivation telling that story was how the image reminded me how it's a good thing to be open minded and standing up for others. I wish I would have worded it better though.

I understand this feeling all too well... Mistreated by those ones we call 'family' because we're different from the ordinary. But. There are those people out there. Those absolutely stunning few. They will be beside you no matter who you are and will love you as you want to be loved.

Absolutely beautiful. This is so good to see.

So adorable!!!

It's always such a wonderful feeling to have amazing support. In our toughest times that's all we need. I love this pic, it's very touching ❤️

I have experienced a similar situation....
This is quite lovely. <3

You are valid and lovely and wonderful, mama Gill. <3 I'm glad that Mama Shuly helped you see that and helped you like you've helped so many others. <3

We love you, and hope you never stop being who you were meant to be.

Beautiful, so beautiful

You are as beautiful as this moment

This may not be as hopeful as I want it to sound but, here goes. As someone who hasn’t really experienced a whole lot since admitting my own gender, I’m sure that I will go through something like this myself, along with countless others. And although I may not know what to say for your particular situation, I hope that one day you’ll be able to love yourself as who you are and who you want to be. No matter who you are currently, I want you to know that you are beautiful. I think you are strong for showing us this. Those first baby steps were and are still hard for me, I can only imagine this forced you to be stronger than you have to be. You’ve been an inspiration to what I could be, as an artist, and as a person, and I think it sucks ass that you have to go through this. So stay beautiful, stay happy, and I hope you have a Merry Christmas Gill.

This made me smile as much as it made me cry. I feel like I also have to hide, like I can't even take steps towards my goal because I can't even afford it. It's... pretty crushing...

I can only imagine how you must've felt. I don't know you so well, I just know you as the mama panda who's a really talented artist. And hearing you had a moment like this, one that was something you needed to have made me smile for a moment when I was feeling down.

My mate has been going through similar for most of his life and I'm Soo happy to call him my husband! My best friend from highschool is going through the same along side is and I'm proud to call her my sister! There are times when they feel like they should hide or be afraid to be who they are and I will always be there to stand for them no matter what!

=(

D'awww

Soft snuggles for a hurting heart

This is a wonderful piece you both are beautiful beings and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Im glad you have such a supportive person in your life gill.

Awww..~

Again, this is just a pure show of emotion and I think all of us can relate in one way or another.
It's one of the toughest things to deal with, but you don't - and shouldn't - have to go at it alone.

It isn't often where I see a piece, and can feel the emotion in it. Admittedly, I'm far better at hearing the emotion in a piece of music performed.

I truly wish that people in general, could accept people as they truly are, and not by the outward appearance they see.

This is so precious! I love this so much! X3

That is so sweet.

Aww. You are a mama bear no matter what 100% Gill.

This is a very sweet piece <3

This has a Very Deep meaning and is Very Beautiful! You are and always Will Be!

Hear hear!

So beautiful

Finally, a porn artist who has real emotions and feelings, I like this

I needed this. As a gender non conforming furry, this made my day. Thank you.

Crying

You are valid <3
