Yesterday for the second time someone zionist noticed my shop's Etsy name "GenderlessBySkaly" and had an issue with it. This time, the guy said he was excited and just about to purchase a few of my handmade works but then the name of my shop made him "doubt everything" and avoiding purchasing.
The original plan post was about the necklaces in this picture, that are inspired by Israeli nature and Eilat's sealife.
I am genderless, but the reason for the shop being named that way (which completely regardless I was going to change the name to my designer name soon), is simply because I started out focusing on unisex designs. And I also wanted at the time to emphasize that people of all genders can wear whatever they want. As a result I've had many queer customers, till many of them unfortunately abandoned me for being Israeli Jewish and not wanting my family to be killed by Hamas, or asking for the hostages including a family member to come home, as sadly much of the queer community is misled by Hamas propaganda and as confirmed in the US, the Iranian Republic.
Recently I make more commonly considered feminine designs though I still like to make gender neutral designs and more masculine ones too.
Most people don't care and that's nice. But it's so freaking annoying when I change business directions and audiences with tons of trauma only to be hated again.
I'm so tired of that
