I’m sure the soundtrack will be the only good thing in the film

CW: Mentions Depression

An actual thought/fantasy I had when I was a young teen

Panel 1: A depressed teen thinks to himself "If I were to fake my death and get a new identity, I would get a sex change and become a lesbian"

Panel 2: thought continues "That way no one would know it was me"

Panel 3: a girl looks concerned

Panel 4: the girl says "Y'know... that might not've been a very cis thought in hindsight"

Tw - Transphobia-It can be really hard living in an unsupportive environment, but I know I’m not the only one having to go through it. And I’m going to keep pushing through, so I live as myself, and be happier. (The last panel is featuring my friend’s Spider-Sona!)
#transcomic #art #trans #transmasc

Text Panel 1 - I often have to deal with a lot of transphobia in my family. But it’s the kind that’s kept quiet.
Me - “Dang I feel like a pretty boy today!”
Mum - “No you don’t”
Me - What the actual hell?
There’s of course the comments
Text Panel 2 - But there’s also the denial.
Mum - “I don’t want you using that name around the family. How do you think I’ll feel when I have to tell everyone you’re going back to [deadname] later?”
Me - “I’m not planning on changing it back…”

Text Panel 3 - The usual ignorance,
Mum - “Why do you have to make everything about the lgbt? Can’t you make friends outside the community? If you surround yourself with only these people, you’ll never get your views challenged.”
Me - “I have friends who are straight”
Dad - “Yeah but they’re still supportive of it”
Text Panel 4 - and the added layer of religion.
Mum - “You can’t expect me to accept you when it goes against everything we believe in.”

Text Panel 5 - But then it’s brought up with doctors or people not in their religion, it’s a completely different story.
Mum - “Oh we’re all just trying to get used to it. We accept whatever she decides to do with her life, we just want her to be safe.”
Text Panel 6 - It gets hard at times, but I have to remind myself that it’s not forever. Soon I’ll be out of home, I’ll be able to freely transition. Soon, I’ll be able to be unapologetically myself.

Cis friends and allies: Do you see how "biological" is simply a slur when used by transphobes to demean trans people?

"Birth name" is a term we already have (not that that would be any more defensible, just less insane-sounding). "Biological" here is solely a dog-whistling cudgel against trans ppl

Bondi: "The judge also would not refer to the defendant by his biological name -- referred to him by the pronouns."

It sucks when you already weren't going to see something because of some jackass named Jared and then they come out with a much better reason to avoid seeing it.

I think people are misreading what it means. We’ll probably see lots of blood and guts, just not *human* blood and guts.
