The (sometimes poorly) drawn records of a queer transboy going through life at breakneck speed. {The other Tumblr}

[A comic panel. A young man in a grey hoodie is ordering a cup of black coffee from a blonde girl at the counter. It is captioned 'I've been looking for a good metaphor for what getting misgendered feels like for me.']

['I've concluded that it feels kind of like this:' the barista smacks the young man across the face with what looks like a large bluefin tuna, while saying with a smile, 'it'll be right out, MA'AM']

[The young man is holding his coffee in one hand and the side of his face in the other, looking perturbed but saying 'thanks'. 'Why a fish? Well, it hurts like hell.']

['And it's frustrating.' The young man is standing at a counter with sugar a pitcher of cream on it, thinking, 'why would you even do that']

['And it's absurd.' The young man is tipping the cream pitcher over his cup of coffee, asking himself 'what about me told her that was necessary anyway']

['And sometimes the stink of it sticks to you all day long.' The young man is walking, looking frustrated, with the cup of coffee to his lips. He is mumbling 'why do people keep hitting me with these motherfucking FISH.']

Sorry for the wait! I’ve been hard at work over on my other Tumblr writing and drawing another comic called White Noise, which I hope y’all will check out when it starts up in August. :D

Also—holy shit, three hundred followers! Thanks everyone!

Bonus:

[The same young man is dressed as Harry Potter, wand in hand. He is being hit from behind by another large fish, while someone is yelling, 'hey, that Harry Potter is a girl!']

[The young man is glaring over his shoulder, surrounded in a bright green aura. Above his head the words 'BASILISK STARE' are written in the same green.]

I was dressed up for an event and got this from a guy I know. He doesn’t know I’m trans*, but he made a big enough show of telling everyone around me how I was a girl dressed up as Harry Potter that I stabbed him with my wand had to use the basilisk stare.

Sorry for the lack of comics lately. I’ve been focused on other creative endeavors, though I have a couple of comics brewing to put here.
This was brought to my attention by my LGBTQ organization’s advisor. I thought I’d share it here for any local trans*folk, in case you need it. Check out the Zebra Coalition’s website for more info!

Look I’m all for education but it’s just a little difficult to keep your cool when your hackles are constantly up over this kinda thing.

It makes sense that you could do this on accident, but it hadn’t ever occurred to me before. I’m not entirely sure what I want to do about testosterone—there are changes I want, of course, and changes I don’t. One I really don’t want is having to inject for the rest of my life. I don’t have a problem with needles, per se…just, knowing me, I’ll be sticking myself in the nerves a lot. :c
(The patch is a pretty attractive option, but of course it’s generally more expensive…)
In other news! I’d like to say hello to all my new followers here! I’m glad to have you guys along!
Some of you submitted questions, which I will be tackling in a post just after this. I’m not sure how I want to set up questions on this Tumblr (I wasn’t expecting to get any, haha) but for now if any of you would like, leave me a question on my main Tumblr! At least until I get this one more organized. :D

It’s true!
No hangovers this week, though, haha. The upcoming end of the semester means that all of our final projects are coming up on their deadlines, so I’m simultaneously trying to build a dinosaur skeleton out of clay and edit together a movie about how Inspiration is a jerk.
Also hello new followers! Thanks for adding me. :D
