Title: Transgender Warrior Pendant (3D Printed)
Post by: Caspian Sea Monster on 19 Sep 2013, 07:58: Not a lot to say on this at the moment. I came up with this design a few years ago and, at the advice of the lovely and tallented Emoroffle, have turned it into a pendant available for sale on Shapeways (http://shpws.me/oTyh). More details are available there. I'll likely upload an alternate version with the sword pointed downward in the next couple days since a few people have been asking for that. Feel free to ask questions.

I'm at a loss as to what to do from here about visibility. Facebook is a promotional dead end, I think they would do well on Reddit or Tumblr but I'm not active in either of those places. The best thing that springs to mind right now is just to post about them here. If anyone can help spread the word around that would be fantastic.

Part of the profit goes to keeping me on HRT and the other part goes to helping support our local (Spokane, Washington) LGBT youth center/shelter (http://www.odysseyyouth.org/).

Try tweeting it at nathalie reed and few other prominent people? Maybe they'll retweet it? Sorry, that sounds demanding and exploitative, maybe. I'm just bad at creative marketing ideas I guess. Maybe PM them and ask if they'd be willing to retweet?

The only "bad" thing I'll say about it is the hilt(?) of the sword looks like it's connecting the two symbols and makes it look like the circle is bent to the right. I don't see it in the original design though.

I like the image my head is giving me of the sword pointed down

Post by: JanelleBelle on 15 Jun 2014, 20:34: This is awesome! I am newly coming to terms with my trans identity (genderqueer and genderfluid, non-binary trans), and I plan to buy one of these babies when I'm a bit more comfy with my financial situation. Best of luck with promotion! I wish I had ideas for you, but I don't. I am also interested in selling some of my work, and I can't figure out a feasible way to promote it.
