I think itâs an (understandable!) error to frame the way bigots talk about trans people as âinvalidatingâ or as thinking weâre ânot realâ They know we exist! The point is that they want to exterminate us, in whatever ways they can, because theyâre seeking a world where thatâs no longer the case

Hilma af Klint was born in Sweden on 26 October 1862, and known primarily as a painter . Her thoughts on gender, androgyny, and the fluidity of presentation that have led many queer folks to feel she may identify as a lesbian or with some other sapphic identity today.
