Rain
Comic 1093 - Break a Leg
Author Notes:
As a random side note: I had a little existential crisis when I drew this page because for a moment I thought it featured the first kiss between two guys thus far. And I'm like, "how did I get over a thousand pages into my super gay comic without that!?" It's not though. Ky has kissed both Gavin and Drew while in boy mode in the past, and that certainly counts. It's funny though. Downside of writing a story this long is that even I as the author start to forget about things.
I may need to do a full story reread in the near future. ^^;

Of course, there are also a lot of people like me who make paranoid CYA statements all the time, just to be sure that we are not misunderstood, because we're used to being misunderstood. Especially by that "one example means it applies everywhere" group. Who, based on one example member of that group I've met, probably have no idea who they are. ;)
On a pro-Trans comic?
Well...that's gonna be controversial no matter how it plays out considering its a very Marmite (You either love it or you hate it) issue in every Trans group I have ever been in.
Even with the amount drag has helped some trans women in the past come to understand their gender it is still hard to forget just how much misinformation and transphobia that has been fostered by drag and the assumptions it has put into the minds of cis people which is made worse by the fact that even in the early years drag artists were almost exclusively cis white males.
The correlations with black-face are also undeniable and it has been said by some black trans people that drag has been more destructive to the trans community then black-face ever was to the black community an idea that I myself am unsure of but I have to listen to and agree with people when they tell me that something is or isn't a tool of their oppression.
I may have the right to express my views as a trans person but when it comes to things affecting people of colour and how similar things exist within the LGBT community I can't just disregard their opinion even if im on the fence.
I myself am on the fence but the amount of transmisogyny from certain well known drag artists has certainly pushed me over to one side even though I recognise that, that doesn't represent everyone that does drag.
Basically, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I think it's problematic to politicize the elements of the comic in the comments section.
