The End

The End published on 15 Comments on The End

Gender Slices has made it to 200 pages!

I never thought I’d do this. I didn’t think this little comic about scenes from my life would become anything, but it did! It got bigger than I thought, bigger than I could handle at times.

Thank you for sticking with me this long and reading about my life and experiences with gender, being trans/nonbinary, changing pronouns, all of it. It’s been such a great experience for me. I officially finished the art for Gender Slices in March 2019, so about a year ago now. I needed it all done by TCAF 2019 so I could sell the big Gender Slices book. I worked so hard to get all 200 pages done. I worked Monday-Friday for about three months, drawing these pages in my sketchbooks to have the book done in time. I’ve chosen to end it here.

I picked page 200 because it would be a nice clean end. It’s bittersweet and I wish I could keep it going forever, but it had to end. It just became bigger than I thought, and while I’ve read every single comment – it just got to be a bit too much after a while. I got so many great comments, stories, congratulations, but also a lot of hate and anger towards my comics too. It wore me down for a while. So I decided it was time to say goodbye.

I’m so excited to work on new and better projects, and I hope I can come back to autobio stuff; whether it be as a zine, or a large format book. I hope y’all will stick by me and see what’s coming up next! I think you’ll like it!

Also join me on April 22, 2020 at 6pm EST/3pm PST on twitch.tv/jeypawlik for a special Gender Slices livestream! Check out the news section here on Topaz, or on my twitter for updates on that. Hope to see you there!

So thank you so much, every one of you! You’re all valid and good luck on your own gender adventure ❤
Your friend,
Jey

 

I’ve come a long way

I’ve come a long way published on 2 Comments on I’ve come a long way

Since my coming out back on tumblr in 2015, I’ve done so much involving my gender and experiences. I never imagined Gender Slices would become anything bigger than a tumblr comic that 5-10 people would read. But it did. It became so much more. I’ve met so many cool people through this comic. I published it as a book. I sold it at TCAF. People tell me how much I’ve helped them, how much they’ve related to what I’ve written. And that means the world to me. I hope I can continue to help people with my comics. I hope you all follow me onto my next big thing, because next week on Gender Slices is a big announcement!

This is how it feels sometimes. And I don’t think it should feel this way. Please don’t think trans=suffering, or that you must have dysphoria to be trans. Please stop gatekeeping, no one is hurting you by feeling their transness differently.

Hello everyone!

For December we want to take a few weeks off from Dead City to enjoy the holidays and get a buffer going again, and instead of doing guest comics we wanted to try something new!

I started getting very mean comments from people, usually they were TERFs but this time… this time was different. I was getting this onslaught of mean and hurtful comments from trans people!! From people I thought were with me. I thought we were on the same side. It feels so isolating to be excluded by my own people. Binary trans friends, please re-think your idea on what trans means. This really hurts.
