Ian Stone, Doubting Thomas, oil on linen, 12x16 in, 2023

"If you know the painting by Caravaggio, Doubting Thomas, it was my direct inspiration for this piece.

A doubting Thomas is a skeptic who refuses to believe without direct personal experience. 50-60 years ago, it was not uncommon for people to think or believe that being gay was a phase or a mental illness or deviance in some shape or form. It's embarrassing that the same things are being said about trans people today."

Frey from my webcomic Fisheye Placebo, wearing one of his other outfits~

The words are intentionally backwards, it's meant for the wearer to read in the mirror. It's a quote from the opening line of Anna Karenina.
