What It Feels Like For A Girl

Today, March 8, we celebrate the International Women's Day. I wonder why the importance of these dates, when we are fighting to give all equal rights to men and women? And gender rights? However, I can recommend the work of Pénélope Bagieu the French cartoonist who inspired the comics for the TV series of the same name Brazen.

More important than gender is the way you feel and the things you do, no matter who you are or  where you are, no matter where you come from. 

"You are more authentic the more you resemble what you've dreamed you are!" - Agrado,from Pedro Almodovar's  movie All about my mother

 I tried to find a paper doll about Christine Jorgensen. I didn't found so I will share this amazing illustration by Anita Kunz and a small bio from xtramagazine where you can find some other example of amazing womem.

 

Christine Jorgensen by Anita Kunz

  "Christine Jorgensen (1926–1989) was an American transgender woman and the first person to become famous in the United States for having sex reassignment surgery. After her Second World War military service, she began taking estrogen. Jorgensen then went to Copenhagen in the early 1950s to receive further hormone treatment and surgery. Jorgensen was greeted as a celebrity when she returned to the United States in 1953, since news of her transition had already been published. As an actress and nightclub entertainer, Jorgensen won over audiences with her poise, beauty, humour and charm, and she used her fame as a platform to advocate for transgender people." from Xtramagazine.com

Hoje, 8 de março, comemoramos o Dia Internacional da Mulher. Eu pergunto-me por que a importância dessas datas quando estamos lutando para dar a todos os homens e mulheres direitos iguais? E os direitos de gênero? No entanto, posso recomendar o trabalho de Pénélope Bagieu, a cartunista francesa que inspirou cujo o trabalho em banda desenhada inspirou a série de TV com o mesmo nome Brazen. Mais importante do que o gênero é a maneira como você se sente e as coisas que você faz, não importa quem você é ou onde você está, não importa de onde você vem. Tentei encontrar uma boneca de papel sobre Christine Jorgensen. Eu não encontrei então vou compartilhar esta ilustração incrível de Anita Kunz e uma pequena bio da xtramagazine onde pode encontrar outros exemplos de mulheres incríveis. E porque é sobre paper dolls que aqui estamos partilho o trabalho publicado no site LGBTQuarantine Archive Exhibit de Sarah Hill. Para saber mais sobre o projeto siga este link sarahhill.org Se você está interessado no trabalho de Rory Midhani, de quem eu compartilho essas paper dolls, poderá seguir a página O ladrão de estilo e você encontrará mais bonecas de papel.Até à proxima!
