That impression of glare might just be caused by her looking more thoroughly / strained for details. Blurry view might just have caught a generally broader figure without style of clothes, hair or makeup. And decreasing auditory functions received a deep vocal pitch while ignoring intonation.

I tend to think positive of people until it doesn’t work anymore at all. Not always the best stance for my interests. ~_~
Well, I’ve caught up to the present from where I landed on these comics. It’s an eye-opener for sure, And I really enjoyed the trip. I have been struggling with my own narrow perspective on transgender people, And I’m disgusted by how disrespectful I have acted in the past. These comics are really fun and they give me a nice view on what it’s like from your shoes, And that has really helped me fix my act. When I saw the comic strip with Justin in it, I saw how rude and dicky he was and that was a good reflection for me. Anyways, I’m really glad I found this comic. You’re art is well-drawn, colorful and expressive, the stories are short and powerful and I hope you continue it for a very long time! Keep up the good work Sarah!
love it!
Your material is best when it shows the irony of life. I’m glad for the non-hostile approach. Most people are still uncomfortable with the proper pronouns.
To be honest, amongst my North American friends, the preferred pronouns are not stable. I get frowns when I misjudge.
Recieving comments like this in the past has caused my current self to hate the elderly….. Like a lot…. I also work in phone tech support sooo that might have a bit to do with it too…..
It probably is. There are about 30 comics over a 3 year period, so updates are not the most common. She probably just hasn’t had a lot of time to draw them or nothing worth drawing. Although I look forward to more as well.
This is a wonderful comic. I have just discovered it and, of course, quickly read through what is available. I hope that the author (she never did identify herself, did she, beyond the “tresenella” email? or did i miss it?) continues it soon and even finds a way to stabilize her posts. Sarah is such a wonderful and sympathetic character and it is beautiful how we see both the present and the past of her life here. I think these experiences are familiar to lots of us. Except maybe the lucid dreaming. I’m extremely jealous about the lucid dreaming… 🙂
Eeek I’ve reached the latest comic already, far too soon. Author, thank you so much for a relatable, entertaining read. You’ve leant your humor and strength to me and many other trans people, I’m sure.
o^_^o
There were comics in this archive that mirrored moments in my life so accurately. This comic has been amazing and those comics in particular have made me feel like I’m normal. Like I belong, I’m enough. To be able to convey that, and the fact that you did, really meant everything.
Well, if she ever reads this, I want to say to the artist that her life certainly is interesting enough to be worthy of a comic. “Slice of life” is a unique genre, because even though it’s not as exciting, it has more potential to touch people because it is so much closer to their actual lives.
Just showing others that they aren’t alone is so valuable. Look around at all the people who treasure the knowledge that they are definitely not alone. The internet doesn’t always give us nice things, but that one aspect is priceless. ❤️
Any kind of misgendering is hurtful. By accident, like this was, is acceptable as long as it doesn’t happen again. When I is done intentionally, is when it is especially hurtful. It happened to me this past New Years eve. I encountered two women on the street in the town where I live. The younger one, nudged the other one and pointed at me and whispered to her. I said, “Excuse Me!” The younger woman said, “I was just showing you to my mother, she has never seen ANYTHING like you before!” WHAT?! Then she said, “You are so brave coming out dressed like that, I mean a man in a dress.” There were other words said, back and forth. And like I said, it hurt, and it destroyed my already fragile “holiday spirit”.
Yeah, I REALLY love it when that happens….
….receiving that sort of conciliatory kindness never feels great.
Better than outright hostility i suppose…
*shivers* the old woman’s discerning glare in panel 3 *shivers again*

This comic is brilliant! I’m going to keep referring back to it as I begin my transition, little steps on a long journey.
love it!

Oh god I feel so sorry for you.
Old people must be the absolute worse in your case.
*Internet hugs, if that’s okay*
As I’m progressing with my transition, now full time and name change, I realise how much this comic has helped me. *Hugs*
Is this comic still ongoing?
It probably is. There are about 30 comics over a 3 year period, so updates are not the most common. She probably just hasn’t had a lot of time to draw them or nothing worth drawing. Although I look forward to more as well.
Ahhhhhhhh I caught up…. ;;
I’ll be sure to wait patiently, you’ve given me positive feelings.

hey, I just came across your comic, it’s truly heartwarming!
Just wanted to share a hug <3

Thanks for the comics. They were very relatable. I hope you continue them.

This was truly wonderful, and came at a perfect time. The, um, heartbreak stuff cut very deep indeed. Thank you so very much.
Honestly love this comic series so much. It helps a lot.
It looks like the most recent post on her tumblr blog was in April earlier this year, so she’s still kickin’!
Just looks to be busy working on animation is all. :>
Read through all of these, and absolutely loved them! felt so very relatable and real. Hope to see more if I check back here in a year 🙂
I want more of these so heckin’ badly ^^’
So I’ve reached the end already? 🙁 Aw….

I honestly don’t mind being misgendered.
Maybe cuz I’m seen other people be REALLY snotty about it.
