Interviews with the Team

Nasr

• I remember when I first volunteered and I took a look at the characters and set my eyes on "Emhari Abdi - Half South African, Half Qatari, bigender" and my heart SOARD because for once, LGBT Arabs were being considered. I just KNEW I had to be the one to design him.
• I want people to know that I specifically designed Emhari so that you can see she hasn't medically transitioned. It doesn't invalidate her identity as a trans person, and that shouldn't be the case in the first place. The reason for that is because many non-Western trans folk don't have the luxury or the privilege to medically transition, let alone socially transition. We have to rely on allies to treat us with respect, and for the most part the bare minimum feels like it has to be earned. By designing an Arab trans person that hasn't medically transitioned, or isn't far into their transition, I'm basically reaching out to all of us who are closeted and saying "I love you, and you're not alone."
