My latest comic for The Nib was written by my friend Mike Thompson- it’s his first published comics work! 

The Nib has been a steady source of income and a huge support to me and many other indie cartoonists for years. They publish amazing work, but will be cut loose by their financial backer in July. You can read the official post about it from editor Matt Bors here.  They are still running their kickstarter-funded print magazine, but have to put digital publishing on hiatus until they figure out their next steps. If you’ve been thinking about supporting their membership program, now would be a good time. They have levels from $2 to $40 per month. I really don’t want this to be my last Nib piece!

It’s odd that Batman, who fights crime from the shadows and wears a dark suit to be unseen in the night, chose such a bright coloured uniform for his sidekick

Non-binary Presentation Terms

Although words like butch, femme, masc, and fem have been applied to nonbinary folk since their inception, they don’t always meet the needs of non-binary people in comfortably describing the way we look. 

So here are a new additional set of options! We’ve considered two different “axes” here – one that relates most closely to the masc—fem scale, and one that considers “effort”, or a level of… drama or ostentation in a look. They can be combined as one pleases or used individually! 

Additionally, please apply them at will to yourself based on your own ideas about what it means to dress femininely or dramatically or androgynously etc. These words are not to be held hostage to cissexism or gender roles. These words also describe presentations that are inherently not binary – the only reason we’re using words like “masculine” and “feminine” to describe them at all is for ease of communication. They can and should describe particular looks, including those that people are inclined to gender, without actually gendering them. 

Note: These are not coined with the intention of being gender identities. They have nothing inherently to do with gender identity. You can be a demigirl stag, etc. (That said, if someone wants to use them as a gender because you feel it’s tied closely to your presentation, we’re certainly not stopping you.) 

Here they are!

Stag: A “masc”, “butch” or “tomcat” equivalent, describing a presentation one considers to be associated with ideas about masculinity, or a presentation others might consider masculine. 

Fox: Describing an androgynous, fluid, or combined presentation; can be applied to any presentation a person feels doesn’t resemble the other sides of the spectrum.  

Swan: A “femme/fem” or “doe” equivalent, describing a presentation one considers to be associated with ideas about femininity, or a presentation others might consider feminine. 

Sparrow: A casual, minimalist, muted or low-effort presentation. For example, for those folks who just roll through their closet and go. 

Crow: For presentations that are in-between, combined, or fluid along a scale of effort/ostentation. 

Peacock: For presentations that are high effort. Glam, dramatic, flashy, flamboyant, attention-drawing, etc. Dressed to the nines, so to speak! 

so anyway tag urself

So my bud is dating a trans girl

Most everyone knows that she’s trans and dating my friend and there’s quite a bit of controversy on the topic, but I never knew how my friend reacted to it. I got to see a glimpse of it today and it was beautiful.

We’re sitting in class, waiting for the bell to ring and I’m sitting by my friend. Some random girl is in front of him who we don’t really know that well. Most kids in the class were on their phones, including my friend and I. This girl turns around to my friend and asks,

“Your girlfriend is trans, right?” And I look up to see how my friend is gonna react. This kid doesn’t even look up from his phone, gives this girl no attention whatsoever but responds.

“Perhaps. Why?” He asks and I can tell he’s obviously not pleased.

This bitch has the audacity to then say, “I don’t know. It’s just kinda weird. I mean, she doesn’t have a real girl body.” And my friend doesn’t even hesitate with his response nor does he give this girl the satisfaction of a reaction. Instead, he says,

“Yeah, well neither do you with the amount of botox in your system, but that really doesn’t matter, does it?” And he looks up at her with this shit eating grin and she just looks at him all disgusted and offended before turning back around and my friend looks at me and we both burst in to laughter

Tips for boys on their period

Don’t put a pad on boxers! It doesn’t work and makes a mess

To feel more masculine wear boxers over your //pad holding underwear//

Don’t beat yourself up, you are totally rad and cool, you’re body is doing something, but that’s okay, it’s not your fault and it doesn’t make you less valid!

If your cheast starts to hurt, don’t bind, some guys get tender breast tissue when it’s that time of the month, listen to your body, don’t push yourself!

Treat yourself to some chocolate!

Tea!!! It’s so good!!!! And green tea can help with cramps!

Advil! I use it when my cramps get bad, sometimes I get headaches and it helps with that too! Don’t take more than six though!

Go under warm blankets with nothing but your underwear on, preferably soft blankets, it makes me feel like I’m in a soft cacoon

Oversized sweatshirts! Always good! Especially for dysphoria!

Wear comfy cloths, always good to feel good

Eat warm soup, feels nice in the tum tum

Don’t eat super greasy foods, it can make your skin break you even more! And there are already so many hormones making your skin do crazy thing you don’t want it to get worse! Also it can make cramps worse

Most of all listen to your body, don’t push yourself, and try to forgive it, it’s confused and doesn’t know that it shouldn’t be doing what it’s doing

Reblog if you’d be okay if your friend came out as transgender

What did we do to deserve Bill Nye

some #relatable trans guy things

putting pressure against ur chest when u arent binding bc its comforting

the Thing™ with ur shirt where u pull it away from ur chest and shake it a bunch

doing that like every two seconds when ur dysphoria is particularly bad

[waiter/waitress comes by] [voice drops an octave] “yeah i’d like the…”

baby face

every male adult stranger calling u “bud” bc they think ur a prepubescent boy

insecurities manifesting in unconventional places (lack of body hair or feet size for example)

“be honest with me…. do i look flat in this shirt?”

pre-op, owning exactly 1 (one) bra bc ur only ever wearing a binder or nothing otherwise

getting unnecessarily excited to buy super boring stuff (cologne, mens underwear, etc)

feeling like a stereotypical 13 y/o boy when, post-starting t, u get ur First Facial Hair 

the moment of intense fear when u hear someone say “ma’am” or “she” and the immense amount of relief when u realize theyre talking to someone else

getting mistaken for ur cis friends baby brother bc u look so much younger than them

other trans dudes, feel free to add stuff!

There is no “faking” being trans. There is no being trans “enough.” You’re always real and you’re always enough.

Being trans is fun because there’s so many tiny milestones. I’ve never been to the beach as a boy before, I’ve never even owned a pair of swim trunks, and guess what we’re doing today!

I love being trans, there’s so much to look forward to!

people who use baby naming websites:

- expecting parents - trans people changing their names - writers - that guy outside my dorm room who was arguing with his buddy on whether the name Zach was in the bible and then very loudly announced that “behind the name dot com says its biblical in origin so fuck you”

Me, feeling good after a new haircut: I–

My Dysphoria: You look like this now:

This is how you should ask trans and non-binary people about their identity
