Ari: hello crowd of only women
Blaire: wtf YOU’RE not even women babygirl i mean babythey

hey!
you probably get loads of these comments, ‘i found this comic from people calling it transphobic’, and here I am, another one.
 

but I actually turned out to really love it, the art is beautiful and the characters are so lovable. a good mix of light hearted wholesome everyday moments with some pretty deep topics. Genuinely an amazing work well done. I really loved the art of the jellyfish, and the sun shining through trees.
You have obtained a new fan, and I’ll be reading more as it comes out 🙂
 

I’m very curious though about the thought behind it and I am asking this respectfully, are the trans characters supposed to be a reflection/caricatures of all trans people? Or just making fun of (if that’s the right way to put it) a certain type?
 

The first introduction of those trans fems trying to get in the club made me feel very uncomfortable in so many ways. for both sides. But I came to this comic looking to be uncomfortable and to learn. What if in that scenario, the trans fems showed no aggression to the bouncer and had no malicious plans? Would they still be portrayed in such a way to be disliked so much?
I know it’s such a massive issue with irl venues, but just because a few loud and horrible trans fems exist, I do feel a bit like this comic has oversighted and ignored that so many lovely nice LGBTQ+ people of all gender identities do exist, don’t force themselves down other peoples throats and act like respectful humans. and that just because some are stupid assholes, it doesn’t mean that they all are?
 

I am also very understanding that if a venue has policies for its guests, the guests are expected to stick to them, just like a dress code. If you’re not the type of person welcomed at a venue, then the venue isn’t for you.. and that should just be it. Any customer should be respectful of that, and because these trans fems got nasty about it -to a bouncer just doing their job, yeah, those types of people.. I’m all for making fun of them.
 

The …cult like behaviour from Blaire in her QT friend group really made me so uncomfortable, as do groups like that irl and it made me laugh. ..those types of people all cliquey and with their double standards making assumptions about other peoples identities and forcing it on them….. ughhhh you made it laughable, I loved it.
 

All the GNC women in this comic and how they are portrayed, the art is amazing and I loved every moment of reading it, you did such a good job. …also fictional women with leg hair …shocking …i’m in love.
 

And muddles?!?!?!? WHERE HAS SHE BEEN? I MISS HER!!
 

Sending you love and best wishes with the upcoming chapters <3
