I feel that by small bursts sometimes. I can't wait for the feeling to stay a little more; but I can feel its shape in what you write here, and that makes me so happy for you.
i feel like i'm getting closer to the point you're at too, so happy you're finally (most of the time) content with how you look.
it's funny cause it took me going on T and trying to be as 'masculine' as i could and then going off t and being more 'feminine', shaving my hair to ✨experiment✨, with the fulll intent of growing it out as long as possible afterwards, now i have a wolf cut and i'm not going back to short hair in a long while. turns out all along i just desired to look like a soft masc lesbian xd
I relate to this comic so much. It's not exactly what you're saying, but before transitioning I always got the "she doesn't know how hot she is" and "if you would just wear some makeup, you'd be stunning," etc. Now that I present as a man, I don't quite feel like I'm aesthetically beautiful anymore and I thought I didn't want beauty anymore... turns out, I really do. Just not as a woman and not for someone else's pleasure
So beautiful, thank you. Not trans but this echoes so many of my own thoughts on getting older and more conscious of myself, which Ive not seen articulated before
I have a different relationship with my body as someone who used to be very active and confident in my skin and now is bedbound with a disease. I often find myself feeling angry at my body for being broken, or I find myself feeling guilty because somehow inexplicably my disease must be my fault. This post brought up powerful feelings - I’m *not* crying. Thank you, I really needed it today.
Such an intimate and personal story , I am moved by your journey to have a body you feel is yours and to love yourself in that body, I really resonate with that , finding ourselves is such a journey. Looking forward to your next post they are all so filled of the Wonderful You.
it's amazing how you can describe/illustrate exactly what i've struggled with lol. even on my 'ugliest' days, i still don't feel anywhere the negative emotions i did before starting t. i really am just some guy and i love it.
Really love your drawings. And the vulnerability in these posts. I always read them right away when they show up in my inbox. :)

As a trans dude, never felt more represented. Thx Nate, your comics always make me feel better about my own transition. Sending much love from 🇧🇷🫰🏽
