Red eyes shine on a black background. Text reads:

"There werewolves take queerness a step further...
"By refusing to align with one species, they cannot be socially bound by the conventions of any sex or gender.
"Unfortunately, the price for such freedom is a monstrous form: Horrific in it's unquantifiable hybridity...
"A queer reality, presented only in the guise of fiction, might still prove an appealing alternative despite its physically dehumanizing effects:
"That is fantasy, and that is fear."

— Caitlin B. Giacopasi, The Werewolf Pride Movement (2011)

A werewolf with top surgery and phalloplasty scars stretches out. Text reads:

There are many kinds of queered bodies

A werewolf emerging from darkness with a bloody mouth and canine eyes. Text reads:

And many kinds of werewolves

A print that looks like a blend of a canine paw and human hand. Text reads:

A queered body is a body made into a home. The transsexual and the lycanthrope relish in the act.
You can, too.

Become a werewolf today.

a zine about queered bodies (1/2)
#zine #myart #werewolf #transsexual #lycanthropy #originalart

Two red hands come together and form a shadow puppet approximation of a dog head. The shadow it casts is distinctly more canine than it should be. Text reads:

A zine about queered bodies: lycanthropy and it's sibling, transsexuality.

A red wolf jumps across the bounds between two pages. Text reads:

Lycanthrope (noun): A person who can transform into a wolf, as described in folktales. Synonym: werewolf.

The lycanthrope is many things, but "heterosexual" or "cisgender" is not one.
To understand the lycanthrope, you must acknowledge it's nature. It cannot be easily categorized as "man" or "beast". Further, the lycanthrope, as it is caught between worlds, cannot be sexed. With a body that changes so willingly, human ideas of how bodies should look or perform simply do not apply.
A werewolf is a transient thing.

Transsexual (noun): A transgender person, especially one seeking sex reassignment. Synonym: werewolf.

The transsexual is a kind of werewolf, then. It, too, is caught between worlds. "Man" and "woman" are just as arbitrary as "man" and "beast". The transsexual cannot be sorted.
It's transformation may be slower, more intentional, but it is a transformation. The transsexual becomes othered in body and mind, just as the lycanthrope does. So I ask you:
Do you see the beauty in a queered body?

A clawed hand covered in blood on a gradient background. Text reads:

A queered body represents a threat, and so is vile to many. It's very existance is an offence to decent society.
But there's no fault to be found in the body of the lycanthrope nor the transsexual.
Even if shocking, or disgusting, or gross, there is not inherent harm done by the werewolves. A queered body is no less desirable than a typical one.

In fact, it can be more desirable.

A gentle reminder: If this goal is not met, we will be homeless.

I am an Indigenous person that's been through utter hell in the last two years. I am disabled and queer. Despite being marginalized, I'm the one having to carry the burden of finances. It has been extremely difficult.

Anything helps.

Happy Indigenous People’s Day, I’m a Borikén Taíno creative who is the only income and trying to keep a roof over mine and my partner’s heads.

The last almost two years have been extremely difficult, and many Indigenous people like me live below the poverty line.

A gentle reminder: If this goal is not met, we will legitimately face homelessness.

I have been working for over a year to keep a roof over our head, freelance since February due to leaving an extremely toxic job.

Please help me raise money for Ibrahim!

gofund.me/1db254ffe

I will be offering art in exchange for donations to help Ibrahim! His goal is nearly reached, and he only needs about £500 (~ $664.96 USD) to reach it! If 50 of us gave up £10, he would be able to help his family, his mother, his cat.

Photo of Ibrahim’s cat, malnourished from war.

I have always been a lover of life, and since my childhood, I have been trying to serve the whole world. Today I invite the whole world. To help me complete my education, achieve my dreams, become a doctor, serve the whole world, make a difference in this world, and provide what benefits them.

Now I hope that my voice will be heard and that you will help me continue my university studies outside Gaza. This will be a step towards realizing my dreams, of becoming a doctor, serving the world, and providing for my mother.

I hope you take my plea into your hearts and spread hope to the world. Thank you to everyone who will help me achieve my dream."

Thank you so much.

Their eradication of them begin in the 1930's during the British Mandate era of the region. The Settlement colonization did not begin with formation of Israel but has been since the British Colony.
