An archangel is actually a type of babygirl,
We've all seen The gabe dress but I had a divine vision of him in a kroj (Czech folk costume) and y'know what? I was right. He slays. What's the point of art if not to take some fictional guy, say "that's my wife" and put clothes on him like a paper doll
Anyway I think everyone should draw him in their culture's folk costume now. I wanna start a trend
((bonus sketch idk if I'll finish,,))

In honor of Rachel Pollack's life, here are two personally meaningful pieces of writing she did on transgenderism, archived on the WayBack Machine. They are companion pieces to each other in their exploration of transgenderism. I've linked them along with their description by Transsexual Women's Resources.
Archetypal Transsexuality
Rachel writes eloquently about transsexual spirituality, emphasizing the passion, power and transcendence of our experience. This article, which appeared in Issue #9 of TransSisters, is a concise introduction to many of her ideas.
Abandonment to the Body's Desire
One of the issues Rachel explores in this important essay is the way genital surgery can allow us to experience our true selves -- including our androgynous or masculine aspects -- with authenticity and acceptance. "Abandonment..." was first published in the Fall 1992 issue of Rites of Passage, the original newsletter of the New Women's Conference.
When the news of her loss comes—and even though I'm afraid it's going to come soon, I am also unfortunately sure of it—I hope we can celebrate her life by revisiting her writing and sharing in the joy of transsexuality together. Here is my favorite passage from Archetypal Transsexuality:
"I would argue that transsexuality arises from a passion so powerful that it transcends issues of happiness. The word passion originally meant suffering, not pleasure. The suffering of transsexuality, however, is like that of religious ecstasy, or even orgasm -- overwhelming, intense, and ultimately joyous when we surrender to it and let it carry us into the power of the experience."
