I still have five unopened copies of Transphoria on my shelf because doing all the set up and promotion for selling them keeps getting bumped down the priority list. I do not have the energy to promote properly. The exhaustion has me. I don't know when I'll be able to do it.

So uh for now, if you're in Europe or especially in Germany and want to buy a 90 page trans comic anthology that I helped write for 30€ please let me know. ✌️ It's good shit from everyone involved and goes through all sorts of genres.

Here's the pic I took right after I got my hands on 'em.

(Edit: Ty to @primelinchen-the-second for the alt text I just added to the image.)

Less than a week left

to back a cross-genre anthology of trans comics about gender euphoria by amazing trans creators!

I have another story in this one. It's silly!

People let me write comics, I don't know what to tell you. Except that I do know what to tell you, and it's "Check out this book!"

Hey all, I'd like to link to Transphoria's kickstarter again, which has been MORE than reached but can still be late-backed for rewards as of posting. Prints are planned for shipping early 2025.

If you would like to support me specifically, you will also be able to order one from me via Ko-Fi once I've received the copies that I, as a contributing author, can purchase at resale cost. I'm located in Germany, so shipping would be cheaper from me if you live in Europe.

I plan on buying just five copies for resale because I don't want to potentially overestimate how many I can get out there, but if more than five people tell me that they plan on getting their copy from me, then I will buy more.

One of the things I really appreciate about your wriing is that you reaffirm again and again that appearance ≠ gender

Loki in the Saint Milf Villain series changes their gender/pronouns like, six times a chapter while remaining male-presenting. Doesn't make their identity any less valid.

That monk lady from the thor kills loki fic has a beard that literally drags on the floor. So? She doesn't give a fuck and neither does Frigga

Loki from Maguna's fic is a man carrying a second pregnancy. Still a man, doesn't change a thing about his gender

The material fatigue Loki has both sets of genitals +breasts and a "man's voice" and she's still a woman

And I'm ashamed to admit this, but it's still something I struggle with. I get this, disonance I guess, when what I've been taught to be male or female clashes with what that person actually is and your fics have been very helpful in regards of that. Thank you. Keep on debunking that you have to look a certain way to be a certain gender

You don't have to be ashamed. I have the same problem and I'm policing my own body there after all.

My body isn't androgynous presenting at all and yet I'm fluid. For a long time, I was having body dismorphia bc I occasionally didn't feel like a "real woman" and had the impression of not looking "feminine" enough even though my body is objectively speaking very female presenting.

Turns out that those days when I looked at myself and didn't see a woman, I simply wasn't a woman, go figure. Allowing myself to look at my reflection and to sometimes see a guy or an enby was a game changer. It depowered most of my body dismorphia. It doesn't matter that I have tits. I can still be a bloke. One doesn't have to be intrinsically connected to the other.

Reading and writing fiction has helped me a lot at relearning how I link bodily appearance (my own or other's) with gender. And it's a process - dissonance is simply part of it. You're doing everything right, don't worry.

Also, thank you so much. I'm really glad that my fics help you in that respect, that's a wonderful thing to hear ❤️❤️❤️❤️.

It's time for me to choose the number of Transphoria copies to order at wholesale cost FOR YOU to buy FROM ME, one of the authors~✨

If you live in Europe, buying a copy of Transphoria: A Trans & Non-Binary Comic Book Anthology from me would be cheaper on shipping than late-backing the Kickstarter — and it pays me directly as one of the authors! (We all get the chance to do this instead of continued royalties.) Please consider it. :)

Info on what Transphoria is here:

Transphoria: A Trans & Non Binary Comic Book Anthology

A 90 page graphic novel anthology about Trans and Non Binary experiences of gender euphoria across a wide range of genres.

Ko-Fi listing where you can order it from me here.

If you'd like to buy your copy from me, the book before shipping is 30€. From the Kickstarter it's $30 before shipping, though if you are in or around the US (where the editors are based), you may also want to see if one of the America-based artists or writers are planning on offering copies like this too.

The books will be shipped to me from the US in a month or two, so you can expect shipment and a tracking number in two or three months. (It tends to take about a month for stuff to get here from there or vice versa.)

How do I end this post uhh . Transness. is cool. Queer out ✌️

My work on Transphoria has led me to finding this campaign for a similar anthology — this one about being asexual. I'm gonna back it when I'm more awake. There's just 57 hours left and it's not reached its goal yet.

I Spade You

An Asexual Anthology

I'd love to see it funded!

I'll have been married to @ablondpanda for six months tomorrow. The day after, we're going on a half-year-plus-one-day anniversary date -- and by coincidence, that's also the day this Kickstarter for an anthology I wrote for goes live.

Coming soon: Transphoria: A Trans & Non Binary Comic Book Anthology

A 90 page graphic novel anthology about Trans and Non Binary experiences of gender euphoria across a wide range of genres.

I'll be thinking about it alllll day. I get paid either way, but it'll mean the world to me if it's successful and if so so many people get to read what I wrote about my experience and see the beautiful art that's been made for it.

And mine is just 6 out of 90 pages!!

The organizers have mentioned to me that there's a hope to get copies of this book in school libraries for the sake of young trans people who need this sort of support and representation. (They set some rules in place to make sure the art is appropriate.) So, if you have the means to share this with teachers or library faculty in your area, please do!

Heck, school or not, employees at any library might be a good place to reach out to if you have the connections.
