Ooh, I love the night sky panel!
Oh man, this hits home. :c
Same here. My family has a hard enough time understanding me that I didn’t come out to them because it would make being understood that much more difficult.
Only reason I came out to my family is because someone who knows my family heard me speak at a cultural diversity conference, and mistakenly told them I’m gay. I felt required to set the record “straight.” (Oh boy, puns!)
Ouch.
Oh JD… I relate all too well. When I try go tell my mom anything, she tells me it’s a phase and/or makes a point of excusing her views because she was born in the 60s….
When you tell your parents you’re asexual and they tell you you just haven’t had enough sex to know, you don’t want to tell them about your gender…
+1
Being born in the 60’s is no excuse to be rude or dismissive.
Eeerr I don’t like commenting just to point out a mistake, but the “mutal understanding” is kinda bugging me éè”
Man, I got a whole bunch of pages in one go today! I was starting to wonder if the comic was abandoned, because the updates wouldn’t show up. Well, the problem is solved now! /o/
Also, ouch for Anwar.
“What as?” :( :( feeeeels
That shadow image of Anwar reminds me of a character called “The Thin Man” from another comic. Or Slenderman. Basically a bunch of gangly, creepy(ish) characters. :P
I was just thinking how they remind me of Don Quijote and Sancho Panza!
If you’re outside of your biological gender, the acceptance rate goes down so fast. Gender expression is just as important as someone’s sexuality.
“What as?”
That just encapsulates so much of this comic for me.
And loving that last panel, Tab.
There are many times I’m there with ‘war, knowing exactly how he feels.
This time. Definately Tab.
I know this is a bit whiny, and I’ll be the first to admit that not being understood and talked down to is worse.
But my moms quest for understanding, well-intentioned though it is, is really draining. Constantly being asked questions about my preferences in sex, sexuality, gender and how these intersect. I’ve tried the simple version ‘I don’t like sex’ but that, apparently, is impossible. So the constant questions.
I know she’s trying. Mostly she’s trying my patience though.
Yeah, my mom just laughed when I told her I was asexual. That was basically the last time I bothered conversing with my parents if I could help it.
suicide stuff: (She also told me that she knew I was born depressed and hadn’t tried to get me any help because she knew I milked any excuse I could get. And then tried to use her own mom’s suicide as JUSTIFICATION for that. Christ.)
…I suppose that’s a bit overpersonal. My point was that these last few updates have really hit home.
I shall leave this hug here for you to receive how and when you choose. Or you can just leave it there and know someone hopes you are doing well.
*hug*
I love reading your stuff Tab because every so often you’re characters will say something I can remember myself saying and it just makes me go – fuck, at least I’m not the only one! My mum is sure I’m just going through a ‘phase’ >.< urrrg! But yeah, thanks for doing this x
“Pfft, what as?” Aagh, so damn relateable yet again. You often face further invalidation if you come out more than once as people seem to think it shows you “really are just confused after all”.
