Dealing With It (Patreon)

Don't take the final panels as some sweeping statement about how I think of or address my past self. I'll still think of young me as a guy sometimes, especially when it's funny. But when I think about how I dealt with my feelings, how long I kept everything I felt about my body and identity pushed down out of fear or denial, I try to be kind and think of the one doing that as a scared and confused girl who had so many things working against her, from inside and outside of herself.

I've tried to tackle this particular comic idea a few times now, from different angles and such. Even drew a couple that ended up being cut and rearranged/redrawn into this one, but I kept feeling like I didn't have it right. I think this is pretty close.

I'm also excited to say I submitted a short script to an upcoming trans comics anthology last fall and over the holidays received words that it was accepted! I'm working on the pages now, but can't really show or talk about it beyond this until later this year. I'm really excited to see my work in print for the first time.
