Baffled by transphobes insisting that the name on your birth certificate is Your True Name Forever when it was common in my grandparents' generation to just...pick a name you like and use that, nbd. I literally found out both of my grandma's birth certificate first names FROM THEIR OBITUARIES.

"Natural gift" is such a fucking copout. No one has natural gifts, we're all born underbaked and need to learn how to hold our heads up the right way. Every single thing you do, from your stride when you walk to eating to art, is a learned skill. The "natural gift" does not exist.
Honestly this is an excuse.
I know plenty of people who are not “naturally gifted” who do art.
It requires effort to learn. I feel you did not approach it correctly or think things happen over night.
Also hard work and skill is not “naturally gifted” as that undermines their efforts to draw.
