Oh man, Riley has no idea what a bullet she just (at least temporarily) dodged with that absolutely adorable non-answer. I love her. What a sweet, smooth thing to say.
 

It’s really creepy how Blaire puts her on the spot like that, especially the phrasing. Sexual boundaries as “obsession” and same-sex attraction reduced to “what’s in people’s pants” as if it wasn’t so much more than that. Sadly an attitude I’ve encountered plenty.

 
No, it’s not just about what’s in her pants, it’s also about voice, and scent, and general shape, and all the million little details. (But it also is about what’s in her pants, haha.)

 
Very fitting and typical of Brick to be disgusted by very very mild same-sex affection, too. But she’d lose her shit for sure if anyone implied that might be homophobia! She’s ~queer~ after all and couldn’t possibly be homophobic, you aphobic bigot, or something like that.

Riley: “because we’d have to break up for that to happen”

Miss Kory did a delightful job on the lineart, both with the poses, face expressions, and with Brick in all her clownish glory!

 
Brick seems to think lesbians are attracted to she/her pronouns and (mtf men’s) self-image. Noticing the shape of someone’s body? Their voice? The parts of their body they’d touch during sex? A nonfactor, Brick is sure 🙃

 
I really wish Riley had said “that was PDA?” out loud. I understand why she’s afraid to stand up for herself, but it’d be satisfying to watch Brick sloppily explain why it’s not homophobic for her to show disgust at Blaire saying “aww, baby” to her girlfriend (in what was formerly a gay org…).

 
Also, they have her in a chair while they saunter around like the “good cop bad cop” routine in a police interrogation. That’s so telling. (Is it just me, or does the trans movement employ this tactic a lot? “It’s oppressive and wrong and boring at best for cis girls to do (a given thing), but that same action is unquestionable, beautiful, and revolutionary on a trans man/enby.”)

Rusty does justice to the “Emperor’s new clothes”/upside-down paperthin-veiled-homophobia of the “TQ Union” every time the gendies appear, and now that they’re interacting with an actual lesbian, I wish I could reach into the screen and pull Riley out of there.

Also, it’s unnerving how anytime Riley is visibly confused about gender ideology or having cognitive dissonance when she tries to integrate the beliefs, Blaire never really answers her questions, instead opting for caressing her, initiating sex, or similar (iirc the “maybe exploring your femininity in a non-traumatic way will help” panel shows Riley’s face covered in her lipstick marks).

I don’t like it, and can only speculate what’s going through Blaire’s head in those moments. Something tells me Blaire barely thinks it through – something like “she needs my affection so she feels reassured” – but that doesn’t make it any less creepy.

Blaire gives a talking point, cuddles Riley so she doesn’t concentrate on the lesbophobic/misogynistic implications, and feels no need to discuss it or think about it further. After all, that might make either of them come to new conclusions, and those have to be preapproved by the trans movement.

Omg Bricks face in the first panel 😂 she’s such a clown, her disgust at such mild affection between a same sex couple is so incredibly weird as well
This artstyle is rly good tho, I look forward to checking out Korys webcomic!

Brick: You are a lesbian but would you sleep with a TRANSwoman???? You are a TERF if you don’t.
Also Brick: Keep the PDA to a minimum! Ew!
Girl just asked a lesbian if she would sleep with a male and then got mad when said lesbian is sweet with her gf 😭

Now that I’m not using my phone, I can leave a better comment! Brick reminds me so, so strongly of someone I used to be friends with who showed disgust towards lesbians/bi women and hid behind her label of asexuality to get away with it.

 
Like, full on visceral UGH the moment I saw the last panel. She always went out of her way to say things along the lines of DON’T WORRY, I’M NOT GAY!! no matter how innocent my statements were, cos eww, sex.
 

It all likely came from her older sister more or less being disowned by her (very religious) family, but boy, was it sure something.
 

Brick, regrettably, is true to life in more than just her Gendie ways.

God, we were introduced to the Gendies when they were in home territory and weren’t dealing with any issues more significant than a children’s cartoon – they were dumb, but they (mostly) came off as mostly harmless.

This bonus material has been great to ease people into just how trans activists tend to be when challenged in any way (or even when they AREN’T challenged, as seen here) and I’m starting to worry about how bad things will get. Tiffany is by far the uncontested Worst of them but Brick is effortlessly giving her a run for her money lmao, can’t wait to see more.

Miss Kory you did a fantastic job on Brick’s emotions. Actually everyone’s emotions! I esp like Brick Yuck face (v punch-able) and Riley’s That Was PDA? face (I wear that face often when seeing certain Hot Takes online).

 
And yessss another comic to follow!!!

Sorry my comments are all over the place, the first time I was able to find this comic my introduction was by a Hater™️ and I basically went over it multiple times processing it before letting myself simply peruse the comic the way I would normally, and I’ll randomly be like “Oh there was that other section I had thoughts on”, and so It’s everywhere 😅
 

I have experienced a similar vibe to how they just got treated for having affection around a ‘friend’, when I was stealth (predominantly for safety purposes, I wasn’t stealth to my partner or medically), me and my partner could basically do Anything in front of people without anyone doing so much as throwing a judgemental look (the vast majority of the time), but when I’d been off HRT long enough to no longer pass, it was quite noticeable how it went from we could basically do anything, to simply locking arms, holding hands, or me affectionately checking in on my partner became A Bit Much, stare worthy, or would make even our [same + opposite sex attracted company] act uncomfortable as in if something wrong was happening, whereas others who were on the same page still gave as little of an F as they did before.
 

It’s very disheartening, because it shows the claim that gender/ [sex] etc doesn’t matter to them show as clearly bogus and performative. Someone always says about how it’s not everyone who does that, but in my life, the life of my partner, and many others, they are the overwhelming majority.

I feel that, I do think observed sex at birth would work out well for people who have those differing sex conditions while still working within that framework, I’ll still have my own reservations purely because even if I know certain things, like you, to be true, I know others still are working in an entirely different framework and my words will have a wholly different meaning to them.
 

It is nice regardless to have that perspective laid out clearly, helps since many people will talk about these matters in a more generalized sense and as a result, they could really mean anything.
 

You saying you find sex to be more concise means something completely different to someone like Ben Shapiro saying he finds sex to be more concise, I only wish these more in depth conversations could be had rather to reactionary rhetoric that seems to be prevalent everywhere at this point (at least online, I do tend to find a lot more nuance is had with real/personal relationships).
