The Toronto Comics Arts Festival is a place for me to never stand out. There’s also something about being AFAB, white, and masculine presenting being 90% of nonbinary people. While it’s obviously not a bad thing – that’s my preferred way to be – I think that it’s become the norm, which is the not so great part. It really excludes POC, AMAB people, and really anyone outside of the white androgynous circle. Which sucks! I hope one day there’ll be something I can do to help this.

But for now, I hope TCAF will have more diverse people shopping around for their indie comics!
Reminder: I’m going to be doing a Q&A! I’m taking questions up until September 30th, so ask away over on this post!!!

When you’re trying to figure out the best time to tell your brand new doctor that you’re nonbinary. Do it right after you get your blood test results back!

Cameos by two very cool trans pals!

An important PSA; please respect your trans friends!
I thought it would mean more to have cameos instead of making up random people, this shows who real trans people are.

Something that happened while I was at my grandparent’s cottage, I remember this very distinctly.

I can’t tell her. I won’t tell her. You can’t make me feel bad for not telling someone because it’s just not worth it.

Sometimes giving something a different name or title helps /just a bit/ with dysphoria. It’s not a sure cure, but it helps.

Monday: I’m gonna wear my binder and feel less dysphoric!
Tuesday: It doesn’t make a difference – I’m misgendered anyway…
Wednesday: I’ll take a break
Thursday: I’ll take another break…
Friday: Guess I only wore it once this week again…
I’m a lazy trans person

It’s Pride month, and I think this is an important thing to talk about – Women’s only spaces
I get invited to Women’s only events often enough, and it’s usually not because they’re misgendering me. It’s more because… I’m not a man. It’s because Women’s only events have that underlining note that “yes other genders can come too if they want” and while it means well – it just feels so off to me. Especially when some of these spaces don’t want transwomen there.
I’m not a woman, therefore I don’t feel like I should go.
But I want a safe space for people like me.
That would be the best option.

I just keep bumping into more and more queer people and it’s GREAT! Happy Pride everyone!
