A history and mythology lesson reminding you that trans and non-binary people have always existed! [Long post]

[imstillalexcomic]

This isn’t really meant to be a comic trashing my dad.

I do truly appreciate his commitment to education.  I do truly have a soft spot for his style of humor, which certainly influenced the development of my own.  I appreciate how he had this VHS-C camera that he was always bringing out and would let me use, sparking my love for movies and starting me on a path that led to me going to film school.

All those good things about him were real.

But so was the colossal amount of damage he caused.

If you happen to be a parent and are reading this right now, I’m going to ask that you consider this suggestion from a childless thirty-six year old:

You need to consider how you communicate with your child, and how communication doesn’t just mean the words that you use.

You’re telling your kids something with the foods you eat, the activities you engage in, etc…

…you communicate to your children with the media you consume.

The rhetoric against the trans community wasn’t as much in the spotlight when I was growing up, but every time my dad turned on the radio, he’d have my sister and I listen to the likes of Rush Limbaugh, or Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, etc…  One of the topics that’d come up frequently was queer people. 

Issues about Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, gay marriage, gay boy scouts…

The “gays” were an issue.  More than an issue really, they were a problem.  If someone was queer, these radio hosts were quick to villainize; “this teacher is going to turn their students gay,” “this troop leader is going to abuse his scouts,” you don’t want your kid to end up like that, do you?”

My dad would listen to these folks non-stop and nod along in agreement, all the while his extremely queer and aware of it child was sitting right behind him, listening to how she was some kind of monster.

So I hid. 

There could be no sharing about aspects of myself.  My parents would be listening to 770am or Fox News all the time.  If I share that I was queer, I’d be finished.  How couldn’t that be the case?  Every day they chose to listen to people that hate me, so they hate people like me. 

So I can’t let them know me.  I won’t let them know me.

Even though they never said that they hated queer people with their own words, they told me that they hated queer people every day with the media they chose, and in turn forced me to consume.

So again, if there are any parents reading this right now, consider my words.  Hate is a choice you make, and hate can be communicated with more than just words.

If for no other reason, you never know if that kid in the back seat is listening, listening to how you hate them.

Less than an hour after I came out to my twin, he cut me off mid-sentence while discussing Star Wars to shout, “Silence, woman! A man is talking!”

So yeah. The shitposting is genetic, the only thing that prevents my twin from being a god-tier Trans shitposter is the fact that he is tragically a Cisgendered catboy.

I love my Twin. He’s always been a part of my life through thick and thin, and literally (and I use that word intentionally) saved my life once.

the fact i'll never be a mother kills me sometimes.

i've always got along with any kids in my life, my exes niece naming random birds after me and saying im her "favorite friend". tears me up i'll never see her again.

i find bluey's aunt Brandy relatable. but often times i feel like i'm not even allowed to relate to her. is brandy's story even for me?

Escapism

[imstillalexcomic]

When I started my transition and began to come out to a few more folks than the tiny few that knew about me, there was something I kept saying as a part of my spiel…

“This is what I am, not who I am.”

I think I believed it fully at the time.

But then the interaction in the comic above occurred this past summer and completely changed my mind.  Sure, being trans is something that I just am, but it’s also something that can be part of who I am as well. 

Seeing that kid completely light up the way they did sparked in me a desire that I really didn’t think I’d ever have.  Suddenly, that kid made me want to be visible.

Like the comic says, I wasn’t ready to be publicly out so I felt safer lying about myself at the time, but I truly hope that the next time I’m up there they have the opportunity to see me…

…a transgender person who’s included and having fun, just like we all should be.

A comic about forging my chosen name! 🏳️‍⚧️ Does your chosen name have a story behind it? What kind of sword/equipment would you picture your name as? ⚔️

Obligatory ping at @degenerate-mystery-inc-whore for her appearance in this comic. The DS2 story is one of her favorites.

Honorable mention to Skyrim as well. I installed a Mod in my PC version that let me access a cave with custom items. One of them was a ring that changed your main character's sex. I would make a new file, head immediately to the cave, and then get the ring and wear it for the remainder of the game.

This led to a fascinating experience wherein I found a letter that an NPC was carrying that referred to me with female pronouns. I re-read that note a few dozen times. It made me feel something.

Anyways. I cracked 5 years later.
