Why the theme of wolves?
In some folklore, wolves are viewed as bad guys / villains. This is a metaphor for the experience of being trans in the world today. Lots of transphobic people, particularly extremists, believe transpeople to be dangerous for society and collectively view us as something negative. Transpeople are often feared, negatively stereotyped and misjudged. Wolves are also a symbol of being wild, free and untamed. Lastly, if you look at a wolf, it's hard to tell the gender at a glance. And no matter who that wolf is, they will always be beautiful
