I’ve learned a lot about trans people by listening to their stories, and letting them speak for themselves. Two great comics you can read on this subject are Joey Alison Sayers’ Just So You Know (#1 and #2) and Dylan Edwards’ Transposes.
This Thursday and Friday I’ll be at the Queers & Comics Festival in New York. I’m moderating a web comics panel on Thursday from 4:15-6:00, featuring C. Edwards, Melanie Gillman, Jay Fuller, and Elizabeth Hernandez. Also I’ll be at the Prism Comics table signing books from 3-4 on Thursday and 4-5 on Friday. It promises to be an awesome show. Come check it out!
Krys is great character innocent and willing to try!!
Poor Jake and Krys.
to bad Jake doesn’t want to ‘educate’ Krys. Not everybody can know everything about these things, it is not fair to put a feeling of ‘screwing up’ unto Krys. I say this because it happened to me once. I’m sorry that I was ignorant but after that that transman told me to ‘educate myself’, I never talked to that person again. To bad.
I’m going to talk about that in a later comic, and I want to show both perspectives.
