dress up is one of the most important pillars of gameplay that is often ignored by game developers to disasterous results

side benefit of communal all-gender restrooms is that they may be our best chance to shame cis men into washing their hands

[damejoansutherland]

i was in a communal all-gender restroom today and as i was washing my hands a middle-aged man came out of one of the stalls, started to make for the door, clocked me standing at the sinks, and changed course to wash his hands with a real hangdog look on his face

Have you ever felt grateful for how the headcanon of Riza Hawkeye as a trans man seems to be popular across the Fullmetal Alchemist fandom? If so, did you know most of the art you've seen for it is made by one single guy? A guy who really wants to get his top surgery done and could use your help with that? ;)

I'm Dimitri, a 23 year old trans man from São Paulo, Brazil. I've been living alone with my cat since late 2023, and currently I have a job that keeps me away from home 12 hours a day on top of sometimes doing commissions to supplement my income.

I've been drawing fanart for FMA, more specifically for Riza and Royai, for 8 years! On January 29, 2022, I posted a couple of doodles of a very self indulgent scenario of Riza as a trans man on twitter, and to my surprise it got a ton of attention(and some hate too lol). But it made me happy that a self indulgent AU I made to project my own experiences and wishes as a trans man onto my favorite character was so well received :)

This AU was born out of the wish to project onto my favorite character the life I wanted to live. Back then I felt very lost in life, being very dysphoric but with no prospect of getting to start HRT, much less being able to look into top surgery, projecting into Riza the life I wanted for myself(working towards being comfortable in your skin while being loved and supported through it by the people you care about) helped me a lot through it. So as you can imagine, it's a headcanon really personal to me that I hold dear to my heart. Which makes it really funny to me that the more I drew about it, the more popular it got. To the point of there being people who think it's simply a fandom-wide popular headcanon for Riza, not realizing that most, if not all, art for it is born from this one guy's unhinged dedication(me!!!)

Fast forward to 2026. I've been on HRT for 8 months after knowing I'm trans for about 8 years!!! Finally being able to start my transition after so long has made me very eager to start living my life as my authentic self, so I quickly started looking into getting top surgery, something that at this point you could say it’s my dream, as it’s a procedure that would give me back my life as someone whose dysphoria can be paralyzing at times. But the thing is, top surgery is expensive.

To give you some perspective: It's possible to get top surgery for free in Brazil through the government's trans healthcare program. But on top of there being a waitlist of around 2 years, you can't choose the professional who is performing your surgery(among some other bureaucracies).

This is going to be a life-changing surgery for me that is going to give me my life back, so I don't want to wait even more and feel uncertain about the results. Which is why I'm looking into paying for my surgery out-of-pocket. After researching for a while, I've decided on my surgeon. A renowned surgeon in the field who has performed this same surgery countless times, and has even taught surgeons who now perform it for the government's program how to do it in the first place! Which makes me feel confident about his skill and care.

So then I scheduled a consultation with him on April 22, 2026. After a few questions about my journey and clarifications about the surgery, the doctor gave me a price estimate for the procedure.

27(twenty-seven) thousand reais(approximately). This is roughly 20 months of minimum wage here in Brazil. (with roughly 4.000 reais needing to be paid beforehand to schedule a date for the surgery)😭

With all that being said!!!!!! Here are the conclusions:

27.000 reais is a looooot of money for someone who is paid in reais. But the conversion of BRL to USD, based on today's conversion rate, makes it around 5.500 USD— Not so bad if you get paid in dollars, right? It's like a real life money hack ... wowza...

So I'd really appreciate the help of anyone who CAN and WANTS to help me over on Ko-fi. Any amount will help me A LOT, even if to take off the weight from other life expenses so I can focus on commissions! And as I have talked about before, I'm also offering a digital PDF Transmasc Riza zine! With all of the transmasc Riza art I've posted so far + unpublished/revamped illustrations and sketches + guest art/writing from my friends! With both SFW and NSFW sides ;)

(08.05.2026 EDIT): THE ZINE IS OUT! check this post for more info!

PLUS, it's not much, but if you ever thought "damn, I wish this idiot would draw more of this thing he has already drawn or has talked about drawing before", on my ko-fi you can leave a request regarding that! (Do keep in mind it's a tip jar for supporting what I already do, so it's not guaranteed I'll get to draw it at all)

I sincerely thank you for reading until here! Every donation, commission request, purchase of the zine, and reblog would mean the absolute world to me! Thank you so much for all the love and support across all these years, and for staying around to be part of this very exciting stage of my life!

Here's my KO-FI!

🏳️‍⚧️ ARISEN FROM FLAMES: A Transmasc Riza Zine IS OUT NOW ! 🏳️‍⚧️

My DIGITAL ZINE featuring most of my artwork from my Transmasc Riza AU is finally out!! With over 100 pages of artwork, doodles, little notes and guest art and writing from my friends across both versions, it is finally complete! with both SFW & NSFW versions, along with a bundle containing both of them for a discounted price, you can finally have it in your hands :3

Thank you so much to everyone who have supported me and patiently waited for this release, since I've been talking about it for months now. In my 10+ years of posting my art online it's the first time I make a fanbook!!! Exciting!!! And of course, a special thank you to my friends who accepted to be guest creators in this little project. I love you!

This zine was made to help with the costs from my own top surgery! So it would really mean a lot if You, who likes Riza Hawkeye, who likes Transmasc Riza Hawkeye, and who likes my art, considered taking a look 💕

IMPORTANT

If you get a payment processing error when trying to purchase the zine, it is likely because Paypal Brazil requires me to accept some payments manually, but since it seems to be a thing exclusive to Brazil, some platforms don't understand that and say there was a processing error, when what actually happened is that the payment DID go through and is just waiting for a confirmation on my end. So please wait at least 24 hours before re-submitting payments! Once you notice the payment was confirmed, you can access the zines by checking your purchases on your itch.io account, or by submitting the same email you used to make the payment to get your purchases re-sent to you through this link: https://itch.io/docs/buying/already-bought

[08.07.2026 14:00 BRT] confirmed every purchase so far!
