Be The Dick You Want To See In Your Pants

I was in my art finale gallery and this racist homophobic bastard who studied in my school 2 years ago came for some reason. He’s extremely transphobic and very open about being a rotten disgusting man with hyenas opinions. Last I checked he was a huge Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson fanboy, but that was more than a year ago and he’s probably far worse as a person now. My one moral friend cut him off completely after he told her transgenders are a sickness in society. So naturally, I was very hurt when “friends” of mine fucking talked to him and laughed with him as if he’s deserving of anything but being spit at. And when I told one of them that, he tried to fucking laugh it off. As if my (and many others’, obviously) humanity is just. Sometimes you can laugh off. The motherfucker read my fucking comics. Genuinely makes me feel sick.

It really fucking hurt me. I told my parents about it and they said I’m “overreacting” and that I “can’t expect others to fight my wars for me”. How the fuck do I make them people understand that human rights and societal acceptance are not something I can take for granted. How the fuck do I make them feel the years of pain and suffering and rejection and shame that they and society put me through.

It’s about 40 pages, cyberpunk mystery kind of sometimes film noir (yes I listened to tpp juno steel). It’s about a Mark, trans guy (who’s not explicitly trans in this comic but he is in my heart) who lives in his 1 bedroom apartment in an almost-dystopian futuristic city. It’s also about Gem, an Android AI who escaped from the company that created her and tries to free the rest of the AI androids there. She’s trans also because this is my comic. Mark is tasked with finding who stole the AI.

I’m not sure I explained it very well. I’ve been working on it non stop for 2 days. It’s due on next Sunday. Im stressed as fuck. I love this story and I want it to turn out great, and I don’t think I have enough time for that to happen.

I also don’t have a name for the story which is. A problem. Might just call it “future in grey” because im drawing this with greyscale markers.

Fuck that’s actually a pretty cool name??
