A special Trans Day of Visibility comic (with color! Incredible.) The first time I came out as a guy was in 8th grade, the trans day of visibility of 2016. I had been chewing on this idea for a couple months at that point, and I hated it because I didn't see any future for myself. I couldn't imagine transitioning at all, I couldn't picture myself happy. I posted a picture of myself on Tumblr, announcing myself as transmasculine for the first time. The next day I showed that post to my closest friend. A day later I deleted the post out of fear and doubt. I'm in 11th grade now, 3 years later. Physically, I haven't made much progress, outside of a haircut and a binder. But mentally, the difference is huge. Being trans is a long, often painful journey. It kills too many of us. But we can survive. We can be who we need to be.
