Broken Crayons
By Elkie
A message from the artist:
From a very young age I felt incredibly broken. I transitioned when I was 19 after being heavily influenced by older trans adults. The feeling of brokenness only got worse and after 10 years of living as a trans person, I felt like I was broken beyond repair. Part of my detransition journey has been accepting that even though I might feel broken, I am still able to do all the things and I can still have a good life. I learned that I am not beyond repair and that there was really nothing broken about me. A crayon doesn’t lose value simply for being broken and I am not less than simply for feeling broken.
