Happy Birthday to KL, Our No Milk Champion! 🎂🎉
@kl_joy

Today, we’re celebrating KL—not just for their birthday, but for the incredible force they are in the trans community.

This weekend, they joined the march alongside thousands to protect trans rights for young trans people in Queensland with love.

KL is unwavering in their commitment to the community and is an incredible representation for trans kids, to show that they have a bright future ahead of them.

Swipe to see what KL wore to the rally! 🔥

If you want to give them the best birthday gift 🎂🥳, head straight to their fundraiser -

Check stories for the link and donate directly to their gender-affirming surgery.

Every dollar gets them closer to the care they deserve. 💸

You can also buy a No Milk shark tee, if you haven't ordered yours yet! 🦈🏳️‍⚧️ Head to nomilkinmyt.com

It ALSO happens to be Max's 3rd year anniversary for top surgery - so it's definitely a sign to donate to KL!

Happy birthday, KL! We love you!

I’m excited to join forces with Shane - Mr Australian Leather 2023 @leatherman_shane to deliver to BootCo Brisbane @bootcobrisbane a leather care/ bootblacking workshop as part of their Boot-U program.

For everyone in the wider LGBTQ+ leather and fetish community, slides for my past workshops, written also in collaboration with Australian (so far!) LGBTQ+ events and orgs are available at linktr.ee/bootblackjon

I would like give a special thank you to Bootblack KL @kl_joy for their contributions as well!

I'm honoured to announce that "Not a Queen, not a King" has been judged a finalist in the UniSQ Bienniale Art Awards.

Thank you to judges Prof Geraldine Mackenzie, Ass Prof Kyle Jenkins, Bridie Taylor and Sue Lostroh, as well as the University of Southern Queensland for this wonderful opportunity.

This portrait is an ode to pride, inviting viewers to reflect on their own journeys, to embrace authenticity, and find strength in the kaleidoscope of identities that make our rich country.

Special thanks goes to the incredible @kl_joy whose courage and passion is unwavering as they educate those around them.
