A brief illustrated essay about Pajubá, a mix of Yoruba and Portuguese that Brazilian travestis use in daily life, published in Matter (Medium).

I don't speak Pajubá, but I understand it quite a bit (or used to). It's a beautiful language.

That was fascinating (and very well written and illustrated).

What a terrifically interesting glimpse into a sub-culture I had no idea existed. Lavender linguistics = a term I am going to find more about. Thanks, TheGoodBlood!
