It’s funny about how much of myself I’ve overshared on this blog over the eleven years I’ve been doing this! And by funny I mean, somewhat horrifying. So I never really know how to respond when someone tells me they’ve read my comics!
Also if you’re around tonight (NZT) come listen to me and some amazing writers talk about our books and stuff: https://www.facebook.com/events/2744595832531444
Honestly, you are one of those people I get startstruck by, and if I was told to do that, I’d both laugh and then do exactly that lol. Ignore the fact that I have talked to you before, more than once lol
I am so that fan lol. I don’t care that I’ve met you before, I am still starstruck. But if you yell that back, well deserved lol, we know more than you do of us.
Haha it’s been so nice hanging with you!
My parents both suffer from mental illness and it messed me up as a kid. I’m look goth but don’t act like it. My sister is trans, and while trying to learn to support her, I found your comic. Ok, that’s three pretty personal things, I think that counts 😀
Thanks for sharing Mary, I hope you and your sister are well and the comic has helped!
Hi, I, too, read all of your comics so I feel like I should share something now ^^
I came out as trans/nonbinary about 5 years ago and started my medical transition 2 years later but I’m too akward to talk about it with my very conservative relatives so I just avoid them. Recently, my cousin was supposed to visit me and I had to take down my pride flag in case she’d notice it.
I live in a country were people speak a very gendered language (no neutral options) so I avoid speaking my own language. At uni, I only take classes that are held in English and I’m sharing my flat with international students so we only speak English at home.
Friends, family and health care professional constantly tell me what a big burden my queer gender identity is to them, that’s why I avoid bringing it up most of the time. So, basically, I’m really scared of a social transition.
But I’m sure I’ll get there one day : )
