Article title: Artist Creates Comics Addressing Gender Identity Issues And Transgender Experiences. The first cartoon is specifically about disabled people. Is this inferring that identifying as transgender is a disability? Because if it isn't, then I fail to see the connection.
Bored Panda reached out to Labelle again to learn more about her experiences and how her journey as an artist has influenced her work. We asked her about the impact she hopes her comics have on younger generations, particularly those questioning their gender identity.
"My work strives to provide empowerment and comfort to younger generations. We rarely get to choose how supportive our environment is, and I always consider the impact of my work on those of us who are the most vulnerable. Transphobia is pernicious and might pop up when we least expect it. I hope my comics help people build strength and resilience to keep going despite everything."

The artist shared that she has personally faced harassment, including being doxxed, being targeted by a neo-Nazi protest, being labeled as a threat by a British MP, and having her books banned in Texas, while also frequently receiving online death threats. So, we asked her how she manages self-care and maintains resilience in the face of such hostility.
"I spend a lot of time in nature. It really grounds me and makes the online hate seem like a distant dream. I've also been doing book tours and meeting readers and communities. It reminds me of the impact the kind of work I do can have and makes the hate more bearable."

To my knowledge there hasn't been any confirmation either way about it. Also that statement really fails to account for the vast, vast array of intersex conditions and what their side effects really are. Some of us have absurdly weak skeletal structure and should never play sports. Some of us have very dense bones and have an inherent weight advantage. Our hormonal existence runs the gamut from "excessively high testosterone with no estrogen" to "excessively high estrogen with no testosterone" and everything in between (including estrogen at cis female levels and testosterone at cis male levels simultaneously). We are exceptionally diverse and cannot be flung into an umbrella category for physical capabilities.

And just let them find out who they are, for themselves. In their own time. Don't pester them.
As an artist who started creating comics at a young age, we asked Labelle for her advice to aspiring queer and trans artists looking to share their stories through art.
"I'd say that you need to get involved within your local community. Show up for other artists as you would like people to show up for you. We're all in this together. Every voice matters, and having your voice heard brings purpose, which is absolutely necessary when creating while queer or trans."

I'm sorry, but people aren't "mutilating" or "neutering" themselves to "prove" anything. They don't need to "prove" anything to YOU or to ANYONE ELSE. Trans people get gender-affirming surgery in order to bring THEMSELVES peace and happiness when their external bodies finally match the gender they are inside. How disgusting and horrible that you call it them "proving" anything. No trans person is doing it to PROVE anything to you, to me, or to anyone else. How self-centered can you get? It's not about YOU. It's not about how YOU feel or what YOU want. You don't matter. I don't matter. What matters is what brings trans people peace and happiness and a normal life - which are ALL things that they DESERVE to have.

F**k this. If I had to go through male puberty, knowing it would do irreversible alterations to my body which I would hate (I identify as female), it would throw me into depression, too.
Toothless Feline 1 year ago
I did go through male puberty, decades ago, in an era when “transsexuals” were all or nothing. If you weren’t certain you were 100% binary trans, you couldn’t get anything. Yes, I was horribly depressed, and I utterly failed at all attempts to “be a man”. I finally started transitioning shortly before age 50, identifying as a transfemme demigirl. And I’ve never felt more comfortable with myself than I do now.

Okay, I actually flinched - my mom's name is Linda and she absolutely treated me like a piece of property through my entire childhood. XD I'm adopted and she told me - frequently - that I was adopted "just" to be a sibling to my older sister, her bio child. She didn't want her daughter to be an only child. She's the epitome of the "Linda" above, though - I'm not female-gender-normative at all and I cannot even imagine how horrific my childhood would have been if I'd tried to express that to her beyond my preference for pants over frilly dresses.

For anyone who doesn't know, there is a huge battle currently going on in several provinces in Canada about "parent's rights". Teachers have been told that they are NOT ALLOWED to call a child by their preferred name or pronoun without first informing the parents. Bear in mind, no teacher was ever forced to use preferred names or pronouns, but now they are being forced NOT to. Of course this only affects the most vulnerable kids who are afraid to talk to their parents about these things, or would even be put in danger if it came out. And when the provinces encountered resistance to this because it goes against the Charter of Rights & Freedoms, of CHILDREN, the government invoked something called the "Notwithstanding Clause" that allows them to bypass fundamental rights. Just yesterday a court heard arguments against the use of that clause, we are still waiting to find out how the dust will settle on all of this. But "parent's rights" is a dog whistle for taking away the rights of kids.
LakotaWolf (she/her) 1 year ago
No. Why is proselyting and forcing religion onto a child a "good thing"? Forcing religion onto a child is just as disgusting and abusive as trying to force a gender onto a trans child that doesn't match the gender they feel that they truly are. It's brainwashing.

So I'm not a fan of makeup in general because I like when people don't look perfect. But I have to say that I was impressed with one makeup company (it was either L'Oreal or Maybelline, I can't remember) that has started putting men in their commercials.

Also, where's the outrage over intersex babies being given surgery without parental permission, and sometimes even parental awareness, in an effort to "normalize" their genitalia? This can cause loss of sensation, scarring, urinary issues, etc. Even WITH parental permission this seems like a terrible idea. ************* I know we all prefer to have things be black and white, A or B, but this is harmful!

The term cis will go away when the term trans becomes unnecessary. When people stop feeling the need to qualify a person based on what they were born as, and can simply call them what they are. And when, as LakotaWolf points out, there is no longer a struggle simply in existing as a trans person such that it is inherently important to most conversations about that person's personhood, rights, and access to medical care / supports. When we stop needing to know whether a person is trans or cis, then you can stop hearing it.

Then I started dating a Chinese guy, and my gay friend, out of nowhere, goes "I can't believe you're dating a (insert racial slur for Chinese people here)!" - So, just because someone is gay or trans doesn't mean they aren't also racist or are gender-absolutists.

There was a story about a man in a dress and pearls (which is how they put it, the story didn’t actually say whether they were a trans woman or just a guy in a dress) who tried to kidnap a child off the street - and someone who commented that this was ‘the Democrats’ dream for the future’ and ‘exactly what the leftists want more of’ got 900 upvotes. I pointed out that no one (sane) ‘wants’ more child abductions, and that what the person was wearing was irrelevant - which went down like a lead balloon, and just got people going ‘what did you think would happen when “they” started doing drag queen book readings for children???’.

This seems too harsh. There are genuine cases of people transitioning at a younger age and realising they made a mistake years later - they’re not ‘lying’. And they did often state that many pro-trans online groups were very understanding and supportive of their issues, as long as their end goal was surgically transitioning; kind of classic diagnostic overshadowing. The support disappeared once they started to have doubts afterwards, which to me sounds just as horrible as people denying your feelings if you conclude you are trans. In any case, this is just another story of how puberty blockers would have been helpful.

It is absolutely true that James Barry lived and presented as a man, regardless of his gender at birth. I believe there was never a physical examination of his body done by an actual surgeon, doctor, or undertaker - only a charwoman (a term for a domestic worker, usually a maid) saw the body in preparation for burial. I suppose we'll never know - even if we exhume his body and study his bone structure (which isn't even 100% a guaranteed way of determining the sex of a corpse), he may have had a genetic or congenital condition that affected his growth/hormones. You're correct, we cannot know for sure.

I mean "man" and "woman" are ultimately just social constructs that are generally divided by sex (but not always). Unless there is something inherently related to physical anatomy that cannot be emulated or experienced, sex-restrictive spaces within gender groups really isn't necessary.

Currently there are approximate 8000 Palestinian women and 5000 Palestinian children being kept in prisons in Israel in conditions similar to Auschwitz. You've got a lot of disturbing learning ahead of you.

The MC at the last pride event I went to addressed the crowd as "All y'all bitches out there" which was about as inclusive as you can be.

I’m personally fond of the classic “Kings and Queens and In-Betweens”

The gender binary was an attempt to protect the mentally weak amongst us from fear. Be gentle with people

my mother was Jewish my grandmother is Jewish 25% percent of my DNA is from people who practiced Judaism. I am in no way antisemitic and a large percentage of my social circle is Jewish. That said I think the conflict is a complicated issue and I don't want Palestinians to be murdered or oppressed. The idea that empathy makes someone antisemitic is against the fundamental principles of religion where treating others with kindness is supposed to be paramount.

Really? My comment was deleted because I tried to bring a note of realism? I didn't say anything anti-trans, I was just cautioning against ramming it so far down people's throats that it causes a backlash. Maybe people need to open their eyes to how the world is, rather than how you want it to be, and tread more carefully.

I’ve had this happen too - it’s very weird that BP seems to be ‘policing’ comments.

These cartoons are really smarmy and incendiary. The only difference between these and mean comments a MAGA person would say is that these have pictures and the media elite behind them yelling, "You go girl!" But progressives will forever point the finger and insist that "you are the nazi." They never get that they're doing exactly what they accuse others of doing (not listening, not being humble, being narrow-minded, etc.).

You're exactly right, but they will probably end up deleting your comment anyway

I loved this list, I'll probably go and look at all of her comics soon.

I love these, and I was heartened to see how few trolls there were! BP is finally cracking down! Edit: A, not everywhere is America, and B, freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.

Beware of crossing the line between "cracking down" and "censoring the free speech of those who might have a less popular opinion". One doesn't win an argument by not allowing the opposition to express their views.
