You can't fuck any of them....
But truthfully usually the best looking ones aren't smart enough to make it to the 4th year. It just ends up being a bunch of basement dwellers by the end lol

In art school now. LGBT is the majority but that's not as great as you'd expect. Still the token trans woman in the whole fuckin school. Still encounter people who are scared of me in my classes

Not that many members of the community in the major

I'm also studying animation, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna stick with it.
Are there none artistic careers that have a relatively high trans population? I hate being alone...
Mtf with a focus in foundry metal casting and metal sculpture in general

I used to really enjoy art but sucked at it, then I took lsd, can draw perfectly from imagination greatly but I no longer enjoy it so I just force myself to draw anyways.

Theater major, but masc.
I went into computer science. I'm a lesbian, my girlfriend is an artist. There's like, 3 whole girls I've seen in my major, and 2 female professors.
I wish I could spend my life writing fiction, but ever since I left high school I knew I wouldn't be the next David Foster Wallace.
I went to art school while I was still in denial about everything. (Weirdly, someone in a later class also transitioned after graduation).
I was fortunate enough to have classmates that had an idea of what I was going through, and knew how to be supportive.
The only drawback was that it was a small program in a small town that didn't have any formal LGBT community resources. No groups or meetings or events.
Went to art school, was some Tumblr snowflake boasting about all their made up gender identities day one, trying to stick out.
Ended up with me being the token trans person and Tumblr being quiet in the back.

I went to art """school""". I expected there to be tons of gay guys, but the majority of them were try-hard edgy overly masculine dude-bros. And it was a hard school to get into (even though it wasn't worth the effort) so it wasn't like they went into art because they were lazy idiots, they were actually good at creating stuff and pretty hard-working. Maybe they had some kind of complex about being creative, or got shit for it in high school, and so went overboard on being macho.
The few fags that were in the school were super obnoxious over-dramatic flamers who would host movie nights with some whale fag-hags, get all dressed up in reject drag queen outfits and watch typical gay shit on top of a pile of pink pillows. Or have underwear parties and literally throw glitter around while dancing to shitty gay club music.
I didn't meet a single "normal" homo like me to date or anything, but at least I managed to make friends with a few of the cool straight people.

>cool straight people
wut?
I currently study English and a couple of other subjects, and outside of my studies I sing and write poetry. If I could follow a creative career path and do a degree in writing or singing I would in a heartbeat except it would be unlikely to really get me anywhere. :((

I was. Was one of the better artists at my school. Left, because that industry is gay. Learning that software development is even gayer.
not me
>I actually want a job
i like to think i'm an artist but all my art is shit

They said in the arts not made art into their life's work.
I am currently a semi closeted unemployed NEET.
My ideal job is to write fiction full time. Probably not going to happen.
studying art history and IT
