    The text is correct, but this is an absolutely terrible comic from pretty much any other perspective. It's just one dude ranting for three panels after being pitched a softball question. There's no event happening, no real character interaction with anything, and no use of the visual nature of the medium whatsoever. It should have been a blog post.

      there is a tiny bit of commentary, that seeing a man dressed like that in a redcap deep-infiltration the expectation is a bigoted rant at the interviewer, it instead an incredibly supportive progressive take comes out

      but it’s weak and your overall point stands that it is a terrible comic

    I had a relative who tried to do this to me and I had to point out Imane Khelif wasn't even trans - not that it mattered if she was - after this relative insisted that she was "tall" and "built different". I had to explain weight classes in boxing. This relative then brought up Riley Gaines; who I had to inform this swimmer tied for 5th and is just bitter and transphobic about that.

    Not even a prompt or lead up to this conversation that formed organically to discover this, just a "hey did you hear about this olympic boxing incident?".

    I have to move out.

          I looked her up but I couldn't find anything about her other than she is a trans cartoonist. Do you have a reputable source?

          Yeah she does some diaper fetish furry "cub" art on the side, has a fetish for pretending to be a child, and draws comics where all the adult characters kind of look like children in a slightly unsettling way.

          The TERF crowd really ran with it, obviously, and so a lot of trans people rallied around her as a result and now it's just a very unfortunate situation around a very sus person and it's probably best to just keep a safe distance from all of it.

          I remember the big shit show over it on Twitter years ago but unfortunately most of the original tweets around the issue are deleted now so as evidence goes all that really remains is half-true (at best) articles from TERFs and others with an axe to grind, and her fans just dismiss it all as TERF fabrications.
