Another throwback to an old sketch I did back when I was 22 and just learning about genderfluidity and identities.

Throwback to the first time I went into a Target (back when it was still in Canada) and bought my first pair of boxers for ME!

Something I think about often, what do people really do when I’m not around them? Do they still find transmisogynistic jokes funny? Do they think about things like that? I know I think about it because it’s my life, it’s what I deal with on a daily basis. I want people to understand. Because it hurts even seeing it still portrayed in the media.

More about my grandpa. I can’t bring myself to come out to him at all, and sometimes that’s just okay. You should never feel like you HAVE to come out to someone, even if that’s someone you love and will probably be cool with it. I just can’t do it. But the language my grandpa uses, it’s like I don’t have to anyway!

My grandpa is a cool man, okay? He’s 90 (going on 91 this year) and is still just like this! He’s been more of a dad to me than my actual dad and I love the relationship I have with him.

Going to my bank to change the name on my account, I never would have expected the clerk to ask this?! I didn’t even know that was an option. Thank you my bank, for being super cool about my transition!

Let yourself try things on. Don’t be afraid to try out a couple different names or pronouns to see which sticks! It can take a while, and it might seem like you’re bothering people, but it’ll all be worth it when you find that combo you’ve been looking for!

When you misgender a character, ship a gay character as a straight one, or just plain hate on any sort of queer content while dismissing it? That’s a blow to me. I feel that. And it makes me feel like I don’t matter. Let me have my nonbinary character in the media, let me have a gay couple on screen, you have enough!

Be an ally and reevaluate what language you use! Is it inclusive? What can you just get rid of? It’s not that big a deal to switch your vocabulary up. It may not happen over night, but you’ll get it!

Tips on using they/them pronouns! I promise it’s okay to use them, you’re causing more trouble for everyone by NOT using them, just do it okay?

Stop pushing your ideas on kids. Stop projecting. Stop forcing kids to do things they aren’t comfortable with. Just stop. Please. Think of the kids’ feelings first.
Real life stuff that happened to me and my childhood best friend. It sucked.
Despite all that I’m still gay. I’m still trans. You can’t force kids to be something they’re not!
And just a reminder that we’ll be going on hiatus throughout the month of May but guest comics will be posted in place of regular updates. Guest comics will go up every Tuesday at 12pmEST and go until May 28th. TopazComics will also be boothing at TCAF this year on May 11-12th.
