Today I was meddling with my computer and I pieced together three symbols on my computer and made a picture that expresses my opinion about the idea that being transgendered, being a person with disabilities, or being a member of BDSM culture means that the person is somehow "sick" or "disordered". I kind of like the way it turned out so I'm posting it here. Criticism is welcomed.

As a transgender person, that means a lot to me. Thank you.
As a person with disabilities, it means a lot to me for someone to be willing to take the time to find out how I see myself instead of just assuming that they know who and what I am.
We're in this together, sister!
Interesting -- I didn't know BDSM had a symbol like that.
From a graphic design perspective it would be snappier if you used another symbol rather than the word sickness, but I can't think of a symbol that clearly means "sickness." Also, the not equals sign could be bolder. (Sorry if this is too much nitpicking -- I do this for a living.)
AWESOME!
This is wonderful, Bint. You've perfectly summed up why it's so important for our communities to be allies to each other.
awesome. thank you!
hmn, does the DSM (Damn Silly Manual) have a particular logo?

That's a very good question! I'm going to go and take a look.
I like it!
Very nice!
May I use this in a blog post? I need to do a real disability/trans post, and this would be great.
Of course you may, Lisa! I'm really happy that you'd even want to.
