While this project (like Nina's quilt project) is interesting, and she has previously made some beautiful art, including Sita Sings the Blues, and Mimi and Eunice, Nina has spent a significant amount of time and energy in the last five years actively working to harm the lives of trans people.
She has done this through using her substantial social media following to publish and post anti-trans articles, promote anti-trans writers, mock trans symbols (such as the trans flag), as well as actively mock the trans experience through posts about genitalia, pronouns, and other issues.
I used to be a colleague of hers and also considered myself a friend of Nina's, but while she actively works to harm the lives of trans people, I feel people must know this side. I sincerely hope that Nina will understand the magnitude and severity of the pain she's caused people and will change her attitude and denounce her previous statements and activity.
In the meantime, I would hope that those who wish to support her or her work express to her that they would like to see her turn away from this path and towards one of acceptance and compassion.
