thank you! it's been 2 years since I finished this comic, and even though things still keep constantly changing, i'm more at peace with myself day by day♥
Strikingly honest comic about being a trans man, with a lot of coverage of the medical transitioning process. CW for transphobia and sexual entitlement from a past boyfriend of the maker. 4/5 stars - excellent.
uh okay, now THIS work is the most touching thing I've read in a while. I wanted to cry, thanks for sharing your story. I loved the pages that showed how supportive your girlfriend has been, it's really beautiful to see such love like that! thanks for pushing me that bit further toward doing something about these years of pain. (ie. hopefully finding out how the fuck hrt works) Once again, great art! <3
Thank you for your lovely comment, really made my day♥ I'm so glad my story gave you some hope towards your own journey, it's never the same for everyone but there's always hope. It's been 2 years since I finished this comic, and I only recently (this year) got my official trans diagnosis and HRT through our public healthcare. And after all this time, I still keep changing, for the better.
really good comic!! thank you for sharing so many interesting details from your transition. there's a lot of personal stuff in here that i'd feel scared to share myself, but it's sharing that kind of stuff that helps people understand one another c:
it's always comforting to see folks talk about the parts of transition that can be Really Rough, too. like i absolutely hated wearing a binder, but it's not like i was gonna tell people about that because i didn't know if they'd be like "then just stop and give up". feels freeing to read things like "yeah not gonna miss that" haha
also wow!!!! all the garbage with the trans clinic pisses me off so much!!!! i'm not really surprised to hear it but wow!!!!! glad you found alternate paths even if you shouldn't have had to ugh
thank you for your comment, it made me very happy♥
it's been 2 years since I finished this comic, and I FINALLY got the official trans diagnosis and hrt from our transclinic january 2024... and I was LUCKY it ended up going through ''so fast'', there's so much unjustice going on in Finlands trans healthcare it's fucking terrible. BUT THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE!
just read this after your 2019 comic but woag!!all of that is so great, congrats! <3 i had roughly the same experiences on hormones, surgery, etc and it's nice to see that in your comic! :-) it had me reflecting on my early days on HRT, diy HRT and then eventually surgery. ty for submitting your comics to the queer bundle <3
thank you for reading my comics and getting the queer bundle! it sucks we had to rely on diy HRT, but thankfully things are slowly getting better!♥ your comments cheered me up today
of course!! i love your art style, and the tone in your comics just hits really well. i'm glad i picked it up. :-) and that's true, it sucks that we have to go to such lengths when our supposed medical/support/etc systems work against us like this. i'm glad that we can come out of it even stronger, though <3 good luck with everything, and i hope that things continue to get even better!
