I just wanted to let you know that this comic means the world to me and I wanted to thank you for writing it. Reading about Tom helped me figure out my own gender identity and made me feel a lot less alone when I was younger. Thank you from thr bottom of my heart. <3
Thank you, Tab, for helping 15 year old me figure out I was trans, and for being an outlet for all of my trans/queer/gay interests that no one else at school wanted to know about. I only wish I’d had a Charlie during that time of my life… but having Tom as an example back then helped me mold myself into someone I’m proud of 10 years later.
This. My sheltered self never encountered the very concept of FTM, having only experienced brief glimpses of MTF in media and stuff. Reading Tom’s story was like reading about certain bits of my own life and it made everything click into place for me. I had never fully understood why I wanted to be with boys but intimacy felt scary and wrong. While I had supportive friends and family, finding an “Alex” has been difficult. But living as my true self is the first step in finding the right short of companionship. I began to transition at age 30. I’m now 39 and felt compelled to revisit this. Thanks to Tab for creating this comic. I used to watch some of the livestreams while it was still being written.

Took me til I was 28! But I had a bunch of other shit to sort through first.
