"I didn't see anything out in the world that really, truly reflected my experience,"

@KennethMoton
about her transition, which she first documented through comic strips.ย
"It's all just been about normalizing the experience."

Hey. Just in case you weren't clued in:
JK Rowling uses her gigantic platform to spout transphobic garbage.
I don't care if you enjoyed her books growing up, she's a hateful bigot.
NYPD source tells me on average six cops a day are resigning, and that number is expected to rise.
Thatโs in addition to normal attrition for retirement, disability, etc..
This is disastrous for morale and manpower.
@BilldeBlasio
is to blame.
Iโm gay*
*in that way where Iโm really pan but enjoy reclaiming gay as a positive term after hearing it used negatively my entire childhood but also simultaneously worry about the erasure of my own pan identity through doing so
Snow White unexpectedly visited our workplace at Disney! She was so wholesome n sweet- it meant so much to me that without missing a beat, treated me like any other girl.
I honestly didn't expect it to hit so hard ๐ญโจ๐
Happy international womenโs day to the closeted trans women of the world.
Days like today can feel painfully exclusionary but I see yโall. Youโre a part of this too. ๐ธ
my favorite trans narrative is the one that starts like 'i'm just an extremely good trans ally because it's important to me for a reason i can't quite place my finger on'
Hey artists who are trans and nonbinary (especially poc trans artists)- reply to this thread with your art, I'd like to share and give visibility to y'alls work ๐
Since tweeting a joke about the terms mtf/ftm
Loads of cis folks have been saying they like the terms because of being unsure of what โtrans womanโ means
A trans woman is a woman who is trans
A tall woman is a woman who is tall
A cute woman is a woman who is cute
I turned down work recently cuz Iโm juggling too many things at the moment and their response was โthank you for taking care of yourselfโ
I wanna use that more often in my life, itโs such a warm n affirming phrase
Lemme sleep for another couple weeks to finish healing, but regardless
Itโs super surreal seeing my reflection and not becoming a dysphoric wreck โค๏ธ
i hate how obvious it is that netflix clearly ran the numbers and decided the risk of bad press/membership loss was going to be negligible compared to the gains from spreading transphobic content
i hope folks make enough of a stink that the gamble blows up in their face
Punching down at minorities isn't subversive humor, it's just playing into a culture of oppression.
It's literally just maintaining the current structures of power, it's the least subversive thing you can do.
5 years ago today I took a chance on the gut feeling that maybe I could find a life more fitting for myself on the other side of a different set of hormones.
(lil thread)
I'm so glad that Trevor Project has this feature on their website and that i got collab with them to get the word out about it
All too often I've seen and heard from young queer people who are overly monitored by the adults in their lives who could really use this

My sister is raising her kids so well, love my niece. ๐
There was a comic featuring her back in my book Super Late Bloomer about her adjusting to my new name and pronouns, but she's welllll past that now
So much transphobia is going around today, no surprise.
You can try'n exclude trans women from your narrow definition of the word but at the end of the day we're still here.
We'll keep being here.
after 5.5 years of drawing the Green family and having worked on just about every episode of the show to date, it's finally time for me to leave the big city behind ๐คง๐
going off to storyboard for those warner brother boys, they seem like good lads
i woke up this morning on my 32nd birthday to find my friends transformed the kitchen into a cafe for me??????????? i'm still on the verge of tears
i love my friends so, so much ๐ญ๐
a very large company approached me to use content i created in a global marketing campaign, which on the surface, is rad!
when i asked about being paid they said they there's no compensation
don't get used for exposure
