Okay so @thefearofcod sent me pictures the other day of a statue at the Met. It's called "Wounded Amazon" and I love it. This statue means a lot to me. Why? Look:
Her feet are big. Her shoulders are sorta broad. Her hips look a little square. Her build in general looks like mine. I'm not trying to claim anything about the sculptors intentions, save that I'm guessing their model was what we would think of either as an AMAB body or as an intersex person; I have no idea what gender was like in that time period, so that's the best I can do. At the end of the day, though, she looks trans.
She looks like me.
I am an amazon.
