Hi!!! I apologize for the inconvenience, but do you have any CoE drawings and sketches left? I remember you had them on your side account, but it's been cleaned out now.... :'(

HI i hope this doesnt sound silly but i thought it was sweet at the beginning of the month i commed you for a sketch of my oc and your comm finally inspired me to make him butch after months of thought. and then you came out as butch it felt prophetic

how does the cis lesbian -> trans gay man -> butch lesbian pipeline work? and how is butch a gender identity? /genq
its not rly an established pipeline - just my personal journey of identities and many others!
to quote a buddy who helped me understand the identity better:
butch and femme themselves are two completely separate genders from the binary being butch or femme in and of itself is queer/nonbinary in a way intrinsically linked to being lesbian--so when people say their gender is lesbian its like literally that. like not only are he/him lesbians totally a thing, and transmasc lesbians also a thing, but being butch is a gender unto itself. that's why you sometimes see some lesbians who might point out that someone saying they 'look femme' or 'look butch' isn't actually the right way to use those words. they're straight up genders for lesbians, so you'd use fem, or masc. its a lot but like
i recommend discussing it with other butches who have navigated the gender longer than i have! haha i just started id'ing as a butch lesbian this month so i really dont have any eloquent way of saying things like other lesbians who have a deeper understanding of butch and femme as genders! i suggest reading stone butch blues if you really want to get into the nitty gritty of the subject - hope that helps!

hello jona! sorry for the off topic ask, but i was just wondering if your merch backlog has been cleared? it must be a lot of work to keep track of so i was just hoping to check that something of a friend's hasn't accidentally been missed. if you're still working on it then please ignore me!!

the way you described your gender,,, incredibly relatable,,, don’t let the losers bring u down ty for your comic :D I would id as a butch lesbian myself if I were not also kinda aroace (confuses things a bit) but god butches are forever in my heart, I feel like the visibility has increased lately which is. So awesome
(jumps around) i hope youre able to figure it out! unfortunately i dont think im in a position to really talk about being butch bc this was a very recent revelation i came to so im still finding my footing but its been very liberating! im also happy the visibility on butches has increased lately esp since i got a ton of more info + experiences from others that i was able to relate to!

Hello! I'm someone still in highschool but this comic resonated with me alot as someone who recently found out he was butch, and I'm so glad you were able to find out this part of your identity! I've volunteered at hospitals before, it's made me think about people in healthcare in a lot of new ways and I think it's so awesome that you found your identity in strong connection with the job you love! Thank you for sharing your experiences...! ^_^

Hello, this is not meant to be insulting or anything, genuinely. But I don't think being transmasc and lesbian is a possibility...
trans masc ≠ man! its that i present opposite of my assigned gender @ birth. at the core of it, im nonbinary - the transmasc is just there 2 notate that i present + identify with masculinity. im not a man or a woman ✌ just a nonbinary butch that likes other nonbinary people + women. i dont want 2 be complicated with it lol

hello i saw your comic and it felt like we were truly kindred spirits. one and the same.so glad i found it because it felt so lonely being the way i was but through it i found out that not only is there another, but many others who live like this and its like damn im not original. but im not alone. thank you very much
WAHHHHH im so glad that i came out with my exp because i felt the same, i felt really alone in my exp and alongside some other personal life situations, it jsut felt bad but seeing a bunch of other butches and allies come arnd and support me and other masc lesbians made me sooo happy considering the amount of vitriol ive seen towards masc lesbians before and after i came out :')

heyyy!!! just read you comic! wanted to say congrats on your self discovery! learning about this stuff can be so difficult but i'm glad you found it! discovering my identity through falling for a butch and embracing being femme even though it terrified me was the best thing i've done since transitioning. and made me feel more me than even that has. much love and stay safe! nurses are the literal best and y'all deserve the world!

How did u get so good at drawing while balancing it with academic work?? :0
nursing is super stressful both as a job and in school and i need a stress relief that is not Medical and thats what drawing is! i draw almost every day, even during work at the nurses station or on break :) i dont really have the goal of improvement when i draw (which is why i developed rlly bad art habits that would make art people scratch their eyes out) but i think drawing everyday for fun has at least helped !!!!!

maybe this sounds a bit dumb but i didn't know being transmasc non binary was an option and i kinda wanna cry because i identify a bit too much with your comic 😭

Thank you for making that comic about coming to terms with being a butch lesbian...! It really struck a chord with me... I thought that I couldn't be a lesbian because I have a preference for masc presenting people..but it turns out I'm just a butch who likes butches. My gender presentation made my sexuality a lot more confusing for me. But I'm glad to not be alone in my experience! I'm planning to go into the medical field as well, and I wish you the best in your future endeavors! Happy pride month :))
