I created a short zine for my trans studies class! But I thought you all might like to see it too. :)

Look, just because I know meditation is good for me doesn't mean it's easy. Especially with my cats. (Also, yes, I am absolutely drawing all four of the chin hairs I'm currently capable of growing thank you very much.)

I swear to god every single panel in this comic is based on a true story, and more of them than not happened in queer spaces (at the hands of well-meaning, but clueless, cis gay people). Why even ask people to introduce themselves with their pronouns or tell them to wear a pronoun pin if you're just going to ignore it? Anyway. I'm tired.

This is a Valentine's Day comic. I know it's a couple days late, but that's ok. I don't think either of us has ever cared what other people tell us a relationship "should" look like, and anything worth doing is worth taking the time to do right.
It's been 1 year, 4 months, and 6 days since I met you, and I wouldn't trade a single second of it for the world.
It wasn't quite love at first sight. But as soon as we started speaking, as you told me about your hopes and dreams and passions, I knew this was something unusual. It was a lost cause to pretend otherwise. I was smitten immediately.
It hasn't been easy and it hasn't been effortless. We haven't always understood each other. We haven't always been able to speak the same dialect when pouring out our hearts. But we've both made the effort to learn each other's language, and that's what makes what we have so special.
I love you more than I know how to put into words. Thank you for being my partner in life, through all the challenges that come with it. Thank you for standing beside me as I transition and giving me the opportunity to be your boyfriend.
I don't know what the future holds, but I know my life will always be better because you were in it. Thank you for being you, Brian. Never change.

I've been having a bit of a hard time lately - I feel like I've been sick on and off for the past 3 weeks! But here's how I'm coping.
Sitting the dark staring at a lava lamp is HIGHLY recommended.

Fingerhands: the thrilling conclusion.
I want to make it really clear up front - I'm joking about this in good fun and it's not something I'm bitter about. I love and value my sweetie a lot. I do not love and value Depression a lot.
Honestly, talking to them about it, I think they were equally frustrated that their shitposts routinely go viral but that no one ever retweets their original art or the professional projects they're working on. I know that the feeling no one really cares about their creative work goes both ways.
So yeah, I guess the moral of this story is that Twitter is terrible and so are Fingerhands.
PS: If you're enjoying my comics and want to help me make more of them, you can help me out by pledging $1 or more a month! https://www.patreon.com/truthisweirder
Based on a true story. Part 1 of 2. Yes, I regret to inform you all that not only are Fingerhands real, so are Fingerhands for Fingerhands. You can also get Fingerfeet for your hands for...some reason? Thank you to Brian Wolf for giving me permission to share this disturbing event with the world.

Clinical anxiety is seriously like having this weird cloud of nervous energy follow you around everywhere, trying to point every possible potential "danger" he sees to you. Even when it's harmless. Even when there is literally nothing there.
Especially when there's nothing there.
I mean, he's not a bad dude. Look, he's trying to help. He's doing his best.
What I don't think people realize is this: generalized anxiety disorder is annoying. It's frustrating. It's a thing I definitely have and have always struggled with.
But I also have PTSD, which is an anxiety disorder on steroids. And it's harder to deal with, because your mind isn't just running away worrying about silly fears that are never going to materialize.
Oh, no. It's freaking out about horrible worst case scenarios that HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED. You can't reason yourself out of a panic attack by telling yourself you're just being ridiculous or that your fears aren't realistic. You already know how exactly how plausible they are.
And if you have complex PTSD, it's something that's happened to you many, many, many times. It's your brain's way of trying to protect you from horrible things you've already lived through, which in one sense is a good thing... but it can make getting anything done and going about your day really hard when the "danger" signals your brain latches onto are things that REMIND you of your traumatic experiences that weren't actually dangerous.
Like the smell of a certain person's favorite brand of cologne. A song that was playing in the background. A certain color or building or sound.
And every time you identify one of these "false alarms" and learn to get over it, another one pops up in its place.
But it's not Anxiety's fault. He just wants you to be safe. He's doing his best.
Ok, so real talk: I see a lot of transphobes on the internet who respond to any news story about trans people by telling us we need a therapist to sort out our issues.
The thing is, yeah, they're ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. But not because any reputable therapist will tell us we're not really trans. Every major medical body out there condemns conversion therapy, and while gender dysphoria is recognized as a legitimate medical condition, it's NOT considered a mental illness. (And the standard treatment for this condition is gender transition. Imagine that.)
Anyway it's pretty telling that so many people will tell you to talk to a shrink because there must be something wrong with you....when the thing that any decent mental health professional will do is probably write a letter for your doctor or submit documentation for a legal gender change. You know, the exact thing TERFs think therapy is going to somehow prevent you from doing.
Anyway the next time you see someone make this stupid, ill-informed argument you 100% have my permission to send them this comic. You're welcome.
no one will ever know (unless I write a comic about it....... crap)
SUPER PRODUCTIVE!!!
Fun fact: this was actually the first Truth is Weirder strip I drew, back in June. I...had fewer facial piercings then. A simpler time. Anyway enjoy some writer's block.
I have this conversation at least once a week. It always sucks but it's stupider with other queer people.
Based on a true story. 🙄
But seriously, every single time.
