I am a trans woman, and I am also an artist. These two things are part of my intrinsic identity, they are unchanging throughout the course of my life. The challenges AI artists and trans people face are on way different levels, but both challenges stem from other people invalidating our identities.
When antis try to make the case against me saying this, they'll say something like "you can't choose to be trans, you can choose to be an artist", and to that I'll say they are completely wrong. Being an artist IS who I am, to me, and to many of the pro-AI people I know who are also trans.
Being an artist can be much more than a job, it's an identity, and antis invalidating/dehumanizing AI artists for how they identify has eerily similar rhetoric to transphobia (again, different levels). I am proud to be trans AND an AI artist, and nobody should have to justify their identities to people that would walk all over them. This is why the trans community should stand by other brothers, sisters, and enbies, and this is why the trans community should stand behind AI artists!
If antis want to make sweeping generalized statements that trans people don't support AI or that they shouldn't (like in the screenshots), let this post be a firm reminder that they don't speak for trans people who support AI!
Don't let anyone tell you that you aren't good enough!
