Wow! Hereā€™s something incredibly personal.

This is Good Bi Gender. A comic I made to express some feelings I have about my gender. I donā€™t really have that much else to say about it. Here it is.

[Image Description: A digital comic made with sharp, angular abstract lines and only the colors white, blue, pink, and black. The featured character is all white, except for facial features and hair colors, which changes from panel to panel. The comic reads: Cover Panel: The text ā€œGood Bi Genderā€, the words colored with the trans flag. It shows a glitchy personā€™s face, half pink and half blue. Panel 1: White text reads: ā€œHello. My name is apparently irrelevant. And my pronouns are he/him and she/her. But you canā€™t call me she/her. And hereā€™s why.ā€ Someone with a half-pink and half-blue shirt looks to the side. One eye is covered with hair, and the other eye is pink while the iris is blue.

Panel 2: The character sits happily, imagining facial hair and a masculine voice. ā€œI donā€™t want top surgery. I love my chest. And I dream about being on testosterone someday soon.ā€ The character looks at a phone, frowning. The phone shows the male symbol with an ā€œXā€ through it. Text next to it reads: ā€œPeople donā€™t seem to think that the features I dream of are very pretty thoughā€¦ Or they think even worse of them than thatā€¦ā€

Panel 3: The characterā€™s features are all pink, and sits in a blank frame. The character reaches over to a blue frame, frowning. ā€œI donā€™t like the animosity. I really despise it.ā€ A photo of the character shows an all-blue frame and blue hair, with pink outlines and facial features. ā€œTo be a boyā€¦ I aspire to be one. I aspire to be masculine in all its handsomeness. All its prettiness.ā€ Panel 4: The character sits in an all blue panel, but reaches back out to the pink panel. ā€œAnd Iā€™m still a girl too. I was so excited to have both. To love both. To have handsome femininity. Beautiful masculinity.ā€ The frames break and connect, and pink and blue swirl together. The character smiles in between the frames, with one pink eye and one blue eye. ā€œSo excited. And yet I get askedā€¦ā€

Panel 5: Two hands hold out two different pills to the character, one blue and one pink. They ask ā€œMale? or Female?ā€ using the male and female symbols.The character, facial features an array of pink and blue, looks between the two hands, distressed. ā€œItā€™s both! Iā€™m both! Theyā€™re not opposites. Not narrow boxes. I say Iā€™m both despite the insistence that I canā€™t be. And I know what I look like. I know I look like a girl to most. I know that if I say people can call me she, thatā€™s all I will get from most. Because itā€™s ā€œeasierā€. It ā€œmakes more senseā€. To have my masculinity, I am often forced to be unflinching in it and it alone. To never use she. Because if I donā€™t, I will never get to have he.ā€ [The words ā€œsheā€ and ā€œheā€ are italicized.] Panel 6: Text reads: ā€œIā€™m still very happy to be so comfortable in my identity. To know, despite all that, that I am indeed a boy and a girl and both. But you know. Telling people to only use he/him for me. Guarding my masculinity all just to have it. All at the expense of the part of me who is happily and unashamedly a girl.ā€ The character cries from one pink eye, the other hidden. The character holds a pink girl in a sea of blue, the girl crying out. In the midst of the blue, text reads: ā€œWell, it fucking breaks her heart.ā€ End ID]

Edit: @starberry-skies wrote an ID for the comic, so I added it to the og post with its permission!

I love this. The stories that show supers being HEROES are these: talking, de-escalating, helping, being supportive, kind and convincing. Clark is a hero without ever having to be Superman.

So these are based off of the farie cutouts we see in the movie. I plan on drawing as many of them as possible, including the deleted demons where were originally meant to work the fair, but were removed to really hammer in that Belzer had driven all his kids away.

ā€œseems this rock is more teeming with life than we expected, iā€™ll get someone in the crew to whip up a brief report for the catalogue.ā€

ā€œy'know itā€™s kinda cute if you look past the teeth, iā€™m just glad itā€™s only around 18cm tall.. or at least the specimen we found.ā€
