Up on a lake I'm sitting on a paddle board with my six year old nephew. As he's staring off into the distance, thinking deeply about something he asks me "Jey, you're not a girl like mommy are you?" I'm clearly excited to be having this conversation with him and respond "No, I'm not a girl but I'm also not a boy like you or your dad." My nephew thinks about this and says "Okay! And you can still be my first-mate right?". I tell him "Of course, Captain!" where I'm beaming with excitement over his response as we paddle on wards!

When I Was Me

When I Was Me published on No Comments on When I Was Me

My one page comic for the “When I Was Me” anthology;

a collection of autobiographical comics about  the joyful and euphoric experiences of being transgender, featuring  stories from trans people with a wide range of gender identities, ages,  and backgrounds! 100% of the team working on When I Was Me fits  under the trans umbrella, from pre-press to artists. With 12 interior  illustrations and over 60 comics, this book is a wonderful reminder that  the trans experience is full of beauty and happiness.
Edited by Eve Greenwood and Alex Assan. Cover art by C. A. P. Ward. Book design by Spire Eaton.

My comic in this book, for the family section, is about a moment I had with one of my niblings at the cottage. The kids in my life are getting a good grasp on what I am and what trans people are, and I am so happy to be that gateway for them.
