Help me find this essay about a trans woman's experience figure drawing
March 21, 2023 2:28 PM   Subscribe

I read an evocative essay a few years ago which was a first-person description by a trans woman artist who was in a nude figure drawing collective. She described being very apprehensive to take her turn and apprehensive about how the other artists would draw her body and if it would evoke her gender dysphoria. In the end, she was very moved by the drawings everyone produced. Does this ring a bell for anyone?
