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.” “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.” “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.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
