…is she still receiving death threats over this comic?
Really though, I always felt that she was making fun of herself in this strip, and that its overall meaning was misinterpreted. I completely understand why the comic is triggering and, at least in the first four panels, fetishizes (white, thin, able-bodied, FTM) transgender men, but the last two panels show a certain awareness of her own cis-gender privilege and point out the problem of fetishizing “transmen” pretty directly. I could be wrong, and I don’t remember what she had to say about this comic after the backlash, but overall, I don’t think she gets enough credit…
