As a child I was very excited about a lot of “tomboy” characters and then immediately disappointed with them. Now the Sailor Jupiter example is the one I remember the best, but as I got older I did learn that she was never meant to be “the tomboy” of the group – but as an 8 year old I thought she was.

Sailor Jupiter is a great character! I projected onto her as a child and got disappointed.

There is the argument however, about “tomboy” characters who are marketed as such but end up becoming “pretty” or getting a good makeover and now they act different. And that was NOT a fun thing to grow up with.

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!!!

Cameos by two very cool trans pals!

Exy: http://www.aethercrayons.ca/portfolio/misadventures-in-hrt/

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.
