Hey! I like to goof around on social media, but like, I don't want anyone to be here solely based on me being like POSSIBLY trans. I'm in therapy for gender stuff. I'm enjoying drawing the girl Shen, but currently, afaik, I'm just as cis guy who likes femininity. I don't want to lead anyone into thinking I'm like 3 years into transitioning lmao.

If you are here based on that, I don't want you to feel mislead, and will happily offer a refund for any money you gave me. Just send me a message on here requesting it! I promise: 1) no questions asked 2) no explanation needed 3) you're not gonna be the only one 4) I generally offer refunds if requested as a rule even outside of this, so it's not a weird situation and don't feel uncomfortable requesting one!

Brave for this 🤍 (seriously, not tryna sound sarcastic, thank you for being open)

Toby

Just keep drawing the Yuri, straight boy /light-hearted

Sn4ptr4n

Trans or not, this was just a good excuse to finally throw some money at you!

sinclairrr

Expected as much. I'm sticking around no matter what though cause I like your comics :D

The Dome Runners

I think you’ve been pretty upfront about it being playful, gender can be fun it doesn’t have to be hyper serious.

j ♥︎

normalize cis men having femsonas ‼️‼️‼️

Pablo Rodriguez

Yes, I would like a refund for the... Hey, wait a minute. You're not Saltydkdan!

Calacene

I wish you luck on your therapy and exploration, take your time, but I can say honestly about a decade ago I was in a very similar situation playing around with having my character be mostly male and sometimes female. Things have changed a lot since then. Haha

Dahlia Grayson

The SportsBaiting is what captured me

Steven Fletcher

Tbh with how often people do just straight up call you an egg in comment sections, you can queerbait a little as a treat

Liz Locke

The only thing I’ve ever been baited on was freeza’s third form. But seriously. Ya do good art. Have fun and be merry. Sometimes creative junk is a good way of working out bs and sometimes it’s only as serious as ya make it. Either way it’s a hella cool design.

CaelArkh

Honestly, right on. Continually happy to support you, and I hope any figuring yourself out stuff you're up to goes well! We all love ya, and that won't change regardless of whether you're a gal or a grungler ❤️

Brandon!

Best of luck with therapy! Your fans wish you all the best. 💙

Sandrock

Gonna be honest, this screams trans to me, but like take things at your own pace and don't worry so much about if it is queer baiting or what not. Just have fun with your art and follow what you like ^^

Limi

That would be kinda sad if that's the case, they'd be missin' out on a real silly fella 🙂‍↕️

Dragaroth

I hope you understand this will not disuade creepy egg chasers, but props for saying it

MelodyBunneh

I think you're good. You do you, and have fun with it as much as possible. ^^

Theo Howe

I always feel bad people keep calling you egg and misgendering you, im super glad you seem to be confident in your identity!! Feminine dudes unite!

Theo Howe

Everyone’s got different ways they identify! Being cis is not a bad thing nor is being trans :)

Pontiac Vixen

Just have fun! It's great that you're comfortable playing with gender like this.

JayyMission

I appreciate the clarification! I assumed it was a bit, but good to know for sure, even if I don't really think you owe us that sort of transparency either. Your journey is your journey, cis or otherwise! I'm just happy to be here to help fund you and read some fun comics.

Lydia Scribe

It has been a bit of a joke across your fandom that you enjoy femininity to an unusually high extent. I'm glad you're going to therapy to hash out exactly your feelings on this, but no matter where you end up, I hope you find joy in it! Love, a trans girl 💖

Muffin

Consider my subscription a wager 😈

Brandon!

I forgot to mention this in my last comment, but you're very brave for sharing this with us. 💙

Bolty

Nah but I do want more art of your femsona

Jacob Freedman

To be honest, I thought calling you an egg was just an in-group meme. For the sake of not making things weird for you, I’ll chill with it. I think playing with gender belongs to everyone, not just queer people.

Erica

Normalize gender fluidity and cis guys not following gender norms. Happy for you Shen, more guys should feel comfortable with their masculinity so they can present effeminate if they wish.

Coby Sevdy

I joked the other day that I joined because of these gender-bending comics, but the truth is, I've been following your work on Facebook and Imgur (and recently, reposts on Lemmy) for years now. Your comical request for more Patreon subscribers made me realize I'm not actually subscribed, even though I've been subscribed to other comic artists like you. I figured it was time to actually support your work, which I've enjoyed so much over the years. That, and I'm retired young with a few extra bucks on hand, so why not?

skysyzygy

I’m very confident you’re not queerbaiting, and on another note it’s not like transness is a binary, there’s just the full breadth of human experiences of gender and our limited vocabulary for it. Draw what makes you happy and I will continue to throw money in the tip jar

Emiliano Perez

Came for the Shen, stayed for the yuri

YourKingMob

I love all the sonas, including the carlsona

Surbet11

I wanna support a cool comic creator. Analyzing gender stuff even if the awnser is just cis is like healthy and honestly solid trans ally ship imo. Plus it’s really funny to say that it’s betting on you being trans to my friend groups and I get good comics out of giving you money. It’s not really queerbaiting imo.

Alba

questioning is avalid queet identity even if you finished questioning cis, youre good

ari melody

i'm here for the funny comics (that occasionally have a cool femsona in them)

OhItsWren

i don't think you should feel bad about exploring gender stuff. i wish more people would, tbh. you've been pretty straightforward about your likely cisness, so you shouldn't feel like you're queerbaiting.

MitchellTF

I was legitimate when I asked if you wanted me to send you TG works. It’s perfectly fine to not be trans, I’m just glad you seem to be pro trans

MitchellTF

Though to be fair part of the egg jokes is the amount of times this is a step on the pipeline to “I’m coming out as genderqueer” or “so I have a plural and she is happy to meet you all”

Alice in Wordsland

Thank you for being so frank and open 💜 I'm trans and I've been here for a while now and I'm planning on staying

Brandon!

I don't really have a "point" in telling you this, but I remember doing a lot of introspection and going to therapy to better understand my gender. I guess I just want to say you're not alone, and that this road goes wherever you'd like it to go. Best wishes. 💙

ChocolateRevel

I enjoyed the comix with your femsona and didn’t feel queerbaited personally, but I do appreciate this post and clarifying things 💜 it’s all good

Sir_P

Shen you've always been a good person of the Internet keep doing you. Love your work always

Hal 🔆

yeah I'm a cishet woman and for a time in my teens I was really comfy with my OC/sona who was a cis boy. :)

Shining Wing

It did feel a bit like queerbaiting and that comic was the push that got me on here, buuuut I still love your comics and had been meaning to hop on the Patreon for a while anyway so I'm not going anywhere! Keep up the great stuff!

NickelW

Exactly!

Arachnopuss

honestly, just glad to hear you're giving it due consideration! I think your most aggressive eggtruthers just wanna make sure you're not getting lost in denial. Maybe some of them WANT you to be trans, but I think a good portion just want you to KNOW if you're trans, remembering how much they wish THEY had figured themselves out sooner. very funny that you only post this on patreon, keeping it off your more public socials to keep the game going, imo. it's nice to have confirmation that you don't need 'defending' from the egg accusations, that you're having fun, lol.

Arachnopuss

...now there's just people like me waiting for confirmation that you know there are options *between* Guyshen and Girlshen 👀 Come Shen, join #BigenderGang, everyone else discarding genders means MORE GENDER FOR US 🔥 JOIN US AND BECOME MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE

Sonicmouse_13

I, no joke, only bought it cause I saw the fem shen and immediately was bricked up.

Namida Januari Aneskans

I figured you were either trans/questioning or a cis person who's put enough thought into gender stuff to make something deeply relatable. Either is fine by me.

Pyo Heliobros

I mean I'm also a cis guy, who like feminine stuff and sometimes imagines himself as a woman. I didn't even think what you're doing would be something like queerbaiting. It's just fun stuff.

Daphne☆

Real talk for a moment: This doesn't read to me as queerbaiting, it reads as Working Through Some Things™. As a trans woman who's been through a version of that myself, that process is different for everyone, but it's always messy and it always happens with whatever's on hand (which for you is comics) rather than staying neatly confined to any single area of one's life. It takes whatever time it takes and that's true regardless of where one eventually lands at the end of it. Great to hear you're talking about it in therapy, that's important! But it's also going to bleed out everywhere because that's the nature of the beast (and the nature of art). All the best to you however this journey turns out!

Daphne☆

P.S. I'm happy to see all the supportive comments on your post! It's great to see such a welcoming community.

Rayla The Brave

I was never on the "egg" bandwagon even as a trans person myself, it's a funny bit but even IF someone was trans and didn't know bashing it with a hammer isn't really helpful. You don't need to be trans to have fun with femininity/masculinity or experiment, I'll die on this hill, I think it's healthy and more people should do it, do what makes you happy and all that jazz! And if things change for you that's also okay, people change.

fractalface

I’m just committing to the bit

AnxiousSky

I don’t care about your gender. I care that you are silly and whimsical 😤

Jenna

I just love your humor :D Also gender is fun to explore and do stuff with, doesnt have to 'mean' anything, it doesnt need to lead to anything either and there arent any requirements for being allowed to have fun with it either!

LucyLuuu

subbed after the first femshen comic, but not really because of it- i’ve loved your comics and the love and care you put into them (up to the incredibly detailed alt text! it really shows you care a lot). out of all the comic artists i follow, you stand out, and all that comic did was remind me that its high time i send some money your way :3 and like everyone else said, i’m happy you’re going to therapy, that’s important! you go your own way, no matter what others might think or say :D

L1Q

I'm here because you kept reminding about your patreon in the few last posts I saw posted on reddit, worth a stay, maybe cand do some support later!also 🥚 :P

Kauê Santoja

I'm here for so long that I even forgot why I did subscribed. I just love your work dude (girl?)

Reed A. Saur

No worries, I was there when you first explained your feelings about your gender, and I understand that you are not flirting with the idea of transitioning.

MCWii

You do you do, express yourself how you want :) Only the assholes are gonna judge and you don’t need to listen to them. Cis guys are allowed to enjoy femininity just as cis girls are allowed to enjoy masculinity. People are people :)

Heather Lord

I honestly hadn't even clocked that your comics might be about you potentially being trans. Whether you are or aren't doesn't affect my opinion of you -- I think you're awesome. Periodt.

ΩωΩ

AHAHAHA CONFIRMATION

Mariel Zereza

Men embracing their feminine side are the best, honestly (a reason why I love my husband).

Rod Espinosa

no worries! :) I'm comfy with being a straight male as well. even if I do play women characters online. and I watch way too many Lesbian Youtubers. I find them adorable! However.... if I was offered to have a FULLY functional female body where I will look like Jessica Beil ?........ errrrrr... I might have to say yes! LOL

Pepper

Trans girlie here. I don't think you're queerbaiting and you're a wonderful comic artist. It actually means a lot that you are so comfortable with yourself in a way that you can draw a fem sona. It's awesome to see guys like you. Cis or not, you're still a rad funny artist that people should be happy subscribing to.

Andrew Frisina

People need to be more comfortable with ambiguity and less parasocial anyway.

Scout

Honestly i just subbed because i heard you drew yourself as a Sunflower

SausageSalad

As a non-biney who sometimes wears the binary genders like costumes, I agree it's important to be able to play with the concept of gender for fun. I don't think anyone ever owes to explain their identity unless they want to, and I trust people when they say who they are and want to be called. What matters is that you're happy and have fun making the comics. Glad to have been able to join after so many years of follow

Vela

F1nnster also insisted for _years_ to be just having fun and "still cis tho" =p just saying...

shiftdruid

hi shen. i am a trans woman who's been some flavor of genderqueer for over a decade and on HRT for like eight years. i think it's fuckin awesome when people play around with their gender identity and presentation no matter what happens. u rule. i hope you have the space and support and ability to express yourself however you like. people have a lot of extravagant opinions about transness and gender these days (as all days) and a lot of those positions seem to be based on the idea that there is One Single True Gender For Every Person On Earth. i say buddy, it (like everything else) shifts and flows like water. have fun with it. it's obvious when you share stuff that makes you smile or feel deeply and the right people love that. thanks for sharing your art with the internet, I know it's a big and hard job to have. I hope we see more femshen around, without any expectations around Formally Announced Genderness. u make cool stuff and ppl like to see it. infinite love!! ❤️❤️❤️

shiftdruid

also im just here for sapphic fight club comics hows that progress bar lookin

Dungeon Newb's Guide

Honestly, we should encourage men who identify as cis to explore their gender in a variety of ways! Even if they come out the other end saying "Well, I'm still cis" I think the act of exploring that is not only healthy for their own self-understanding, but for understanding others. You don't have to be trans to explore that space. You never know what you might discover. All the best to you!

Ivy Edwards

Cis men should NEVER have to feel like they need to apologize for being feminine or liking feminine things. We're here because you're an incredible artist and a funny person and a wonderful human being <3

ITR

I joined from the shen in a maid dress, i do not feel baited

Ben Waffle

i dont think its queerbaiting if its a real person 😭 you're allowed to do whatever you want bro

Wijcher

My femsona is into genetics and curses a lot

Sean Nelson

Isn't that called a twink or?

Britt Monday

Is that a thing people are mad about???? I thought the whole point of art is to have fun and play with stuff, not declare cemented truths all the time

M_U_S_E

The Boy From Venus got me to pay, actually

j ♥︎

every day this continues to get likes, glad this resonates w yall

Cory!

Reading this made me tear up. You shouldnt have to be apologetic for being silly with gender. It's hard figuring out gender stuff when you've got a lot of scrutiny.

Cory!

Also, you can just be genderfluid or genderqueer whenever you want and then decide not to be later.

Lukas

Fem Shen made me feel all warm and fuzzy, then specifically said it that makes me feel anything I like that I have to sub on Patreon. Got my ass -signed a fellow pretty queer man 💅💗 (Also I adore the Boy From Venus story so far. You REALLY got my ass)

Dracon Mortifierre

Nah bro, whatever you are or become, I just like seeing girls kissing And also that recent crossdresser x misandric femcel comic is fire as fuck

Deso's Prophet

I'm here for the femboy from Venus, the femsoma is a bonus feature

A. F.

Shen, from the bottom of my heart, idgaf what your gender is. I'm here because your comics make me happy. (Also I'm a cis woman who probably has the same feelings re: gender stuff as you but from the other side of the binary, it's all kewl)

Kaitlyn Eastwood

As a trans woman, I won't lie. I did originally think you might be on the route to discovering you were trans. And that did make me more interested than I otherwise would've been. But I would never ask you to apologize for not being trans. That's ridiculous. You're allowed to be who you are. That's like.... the whole fucking point. If you go through your gender therapy and you find out that you actually do identify with some kind of transgender label, that's wonderful! And I would be happy to see you take that journey. And if you go through that therapy and you feel comfortable identifying with your birth sex as a man, then that's wonderful, too! and I would be happy to see you comfortable in your own skin knowing who you are at deeper level than most cis people. No matter what path your life takes, the important thing is that you're true to yourself. No matter what that looks like.

Jone Johnson

Cis guys who like femininity is my bait.

Adrien A.

This made me happy, actually. I'm a cis man who enjoys femininity and such. Whenever I present it, I get the odd look or question. I've had a few people ask me if I was transitioning too. So, thanks.

Lockely

As a trans girl who definitely thought I was cis for 35 years, the gender dysphoria bible linked above is what finally forced me to crack my own egg. Really great resource.

Layla

Proud of you shen!! Been following you for a long time and it's nice to hear that you're taking your time and figuring things out on your terms 💗

Xav Marz

u are shen. Shen is shen is cool.

Vodahmin Von Riſʒ

hi shen xd tbh i am trans and the queer thing did kinda draw my attention. but honestly, i am here because i love your work! you posted a comic about how if i don't have anything to tell to the world, dropping a pencil in front of me.. and yeah, i have been starting to draw comics 😅 thank you, once, and once again - i hate to learn it but i LOVE to do it. i'm LunaticJenny, if you'd visit my Ig account it would really mean the world for me - you're an inspiration. Boy from Venus is probably my favorite comic at the moment, so i also came here to show some appreciation for your great work and see the comics early. kind regards, Jenny / Vodah
