The home page of my website uses a stock image of warm, well lit bricks behind off white lined paper that I scanned myself. This was chosen specifically to be comforting and warm. The other pages look like this as well.
I built 2 pages simply using html and css within dreamweaver (as i did not have time to make a webpage making use of the tdor database data.) I only really had time to use my own masterpost datasets.
That being said, when i put it onto glitch.com, my assets broke and I really couldn’t figure out how to correct them in time for submission so I left it to its bare functionality.
Here’s some of my code:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>tdor-safehouse</title>
<link href="stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

<body background="../project 1 serious/ASSETS/bg.jpg">

<p class="mainpara"> It is 2023. We are young, and transgender. We live a range of lives – ones that are hushed and hidden away; ones where we play in the streets at night; ones where an endless trail of beautiful art and music flows behind our footsteps; ones with difficult conversations, quasi-understanding and ones where we sit with our surroundings, thinking, ‘It could be worse.’ We are young and transgender, and we shake with the euphoria after washing from the shores of deprivation as we learn ourselves as young people barely budding in the adult world; secret lives and adjustments. It’s easy to understand why transgender people were considered near divine being in our faraway past. We are different, we are born to have high insight, we see the first division – Man, and woman. Male bathrooms, female bathrooms. Clothes. Roles.<br> <br>Looking up ‘transgender genocide’ yields calculated results in which transgender voices are trampled by blunt articles insisting it doesn’t exist, it’s not an issue, we die at the same rate as everyone else. If we are killed in the streets, it’s not because we are trans, and yet simultaneously it is our fault for being an anomaly. Somehow, we are the ‘scapegoat’ for issues within our society. Does it sound familiar to you? <br><br>
My aim for this website was one of a shield to contrast the sword of transgender violence databases. As the numbers tick up, let us honour our victims and honour ourselves. This is a safe space to It was never supposed to be like this. We fight every day. So, while we fight like hell, every single day, how do we cope? How can we care for ourselves? Trans people and youth deserve rest, healing, treatment. Love. Healthcare. As the numbers tick up, let us honour our victims and honour ourselves. Let this space be a place of hospitality and self-care, a quiet, featureless webpage for reflection. Take a breather. This is my database of transgender care and survival.</p></td>
