It occurs to me in hindsight that I never actually drew myself wearing a suit in this comic. So here's a little art selfie to sort of remedy that.

While this isn't exactly a suit, I did actually wear these clothes when I was at uni, though my hair was not long at that time.

OMG I love having long hair!!!

How To Look Good In A Suit

Another autobiographical comic about my slow process of coming out as transgender. Image text and description below the fold:

1. My first awareness of gender nonconformity was in 1983. I was eight. (Pointing at eight year old me) Future sapphic aroace trans enby. [Eight year old me lies on the floor watching MTV and drawing with crayons in a sketchbook.] [Inset] An egg.

2. Annie Lennox was the first to make me go, "Hmm…" "She's a girl, but she's dressed like a boy. Curious." [Annie Lennox with bright orange hair and wearing a suit, from the Eurythmics video for Sweet Dreams] [Inset] The egg rocks back and forth a bit.

3. The 1988 movie 'Vice Versa' got me thinking about body swapping. Especially after I saw what happened to the villains. [Scene toward the end of the movie where the villains have a freakout upon seeing their bodies switch.] [Inset] The egg shakes a bit and cracks.

4. In 1991 I saw David Duchovny's Denise in Twin Peaks. But I didn't quite connect Denise's trans experience with my own, probably because I still didn't know 'transgender' was a thing. [Scene from episode 211 of Twin Peaks where Denise reintroduces herself to Agent Cooper.] Denise: Coop! [Inset] The single crack in the egg expands a tiny bit.

5. In 1994 I learned about a movie called 'Switch' in which a guy dies and comes back as Ellen Barkin. Yes. Switch. THat is what I would like to do. But how? [The movie poster for 'Switch', except Jimmy Smits is covered up by the upper text box.] [Inset] The egg wobbles again and cracks at the top.

6. Sometime around 1996 or 1997 a chance viewing of an episode of Maury Povich introduced me to the word 'transsexual'. (Pointing at Maury) Just wants to exploit trans women. (Pointing at trans woman in red dress) Genuinely wants to explain what it means to be a trans woman. [Maury grins at the audience while a blonde trans woman in a shiny red dress sits in a chair behind him.] [Inset] The egg splits open at the top.

7. Me: Wait, that's what I am?! but I don't want to look or act like that! (Pointing at my drawing pad on the table) Drawing girl versions of myself. [I'm sitting at a table sketching as I watch TV.] [Inset] The egg split open at the top now has a bandage on it keeping it closed. But there are more cracks.

8. In 1999 I attempted to begin my transition, but I panicked. What if I was wrong?! Me (stressed): But I don't really want to be a feminine straight girl! Maybe I'm not really trans! [Inset] The egg seems about ready to split open, but the bandage and the duct tape keep it closed up.

9. In 2002 at the Oregon Country Fair, I could no longer hold together the shattered pieces of my egg. [Guy Me wanders through the fair between two women. One is topless and walking away.] Me (thinking): I really want boobs so I can look good in a suit and tie. [Inset] The egg is shattered. Girl Me holds up the top of the egg and looks out at the shattered shell around me. Girl Me: Wow. I guess I'm really doing this!
