Hello! I'm a trans man. My writing isn't currently trans-related, but looking back I definitely used it as a way to express myself. I didn't grow up in an area where being trans was allowed, or even a concept, so it was the only way I could put my feelings into thoughts. Still not great at that last part lol
I've been working on learning to write better by rewriting this novel, and it's almost done!

HippieGhost 2021-03-31 23:48:46 UTC #9

I can't imagine how much of a challenge that must have been. I'll definitely look at your work at the earliest opportunity

EDIT: Nevermind I'm reading it now, and wow! The heaviness of the emotions at play is great! I can definitely get the repression vibes here. There's a lot of relateability early on

I'm nonbinary! My comic isn't trans themed but most my characters are lgbtq+ including several trans/nonbinary characters. Elena (Dana's sister) is a transwoman, she's a minor character in the first arc but she has a major plotline starting in the second arc and omg I'm so excited for it! And Arakiel (who will be introduced soon as a major character) is nonbinary. There's a few more characters who will be introduced in later arcs but that probably won't be for over a year still.

None of the characters' storylines focus specifically on trans or other lgbtq+ issues though, I thought about it but honestly being lgbtq+ irl is so stressful and overall exhausting that I prefer escapism for now. I'm not sure if that'll change in the future though.

HippieGhost 2021-04-01 01:05:34 UTC #11

So far Dana is super relatable. I really like your artstyle too. I have a feeling I'll really enjoy your comic when I can commit more time to it

Thank you so much!

It's TDOV already?? Time's passing too fast!

I'm a trans guy and my novel is very much a Trans Story, lol. I started the original version of Ruby Sea before I realized I was trans, which is extremely funny in retrospect, given the concept. I made some tweaks when I realized I'd made characters that were also trans, and wrote a lot of it as a way to cope with my own dysphoric depression in high school and undergrad. I'm doing a lot better now, which has the unfortunate side effect that it takes me longer for updates

Ruby Sea is a magical girl story about realizing you're transgender and a love letter to my sad, confused 12-year-old self. Very cathartic for me!

And I'll be putting the works in this thread on my to-read list - looks like the kind of content I came to Tapas for!

HippieGhost 2021-04-01 01:28:35 UTC #14

That sounds great! I'm gonna add you to my queue of works to check out!

TheOddFungi 2021-04-01 02:02:07 UTC #15

Hey y'all, I'm a non-binary/genderfluid creator ^_^ My novel also has a transmasc person in the main cast, so yay!

HippieGhost 2021-04-01 02:03:10 UTC #16

That's great! I'll be checking out anyone I don't view tonight probably tomorrow morning, so you'll be one of them I'm sure!

TheOddFungi 2021-04-01 02:05:46 UTC #17

I'll check out your story as well! I also appreciate your sigil ^_^

HippieGhost 2021-04-01 02:06:29 UTC #18

Thank you! Making sigils is one of my favorite things to do!

Hello!!! The name is Matias and I am a transguy, and my transition has been a COMPLETE rollercoaster but I am grateful to be surrounded by so much love and support from my boyfriend, friends, and family. I'm currently on a journey to learn to love myself, its hard, but I'm getting there :)!!!! Been on hormones for two years and hopefully in the future I get to further my transition.

I have my very first webcomic that is about a post—apocalyptic world taken over by demons and among them lurks a lone survivor known as the Demon Slayer— and she has a thirst for BLOOD.

Most of my cast are LGBTQ+!!!! I JUST introduced a genderqueer character and a transguy in my story as well, I'm currently working on the newest episode ^^!!
