The cartoons

Well, I'm proud of the trans ones. I think they're finally conveying my message to all these people that have laughed at my transition or tried to stop it.


The message of Weeded Out and my cartoons was basically that transness isn't ok in mainstream society, which is why so many of us live in substandard housing, have jobs that are poorly paid, have tenuous job security, and cope with a lot of ridicule and pity that essentially makes us feel less than human.


While finding a rich husband or wife is a potential solution to the tenuous position that trans people have in society, it's obvious that we need stronger legal protections.


I'm still fairly young and pretty, but that won't last. By the time I'm 40 in 2034, it'd be really good if I wasn't still living in some shitty boarding house being told that, unless I shake my moneymaker for a bunch of people who think like these cartoons, I'm doomed to remain in the ghetto and become increasingly undesireable...
