Between 2021 and 2024 I drew a lot about my gender identity. I've been told it helped a lot of folks. So for Trans Day of Visibility 2025 I thought I'd consolidate them all into one art book! It is PWYW but donations are always appreciated. Please enjoy! vanillayote.itch.io/dysophonia #art - ThreadSky

I remember following your accounts as this was happening in real-time, but it hits even harder when it’s all laid out at once. Thank you for sharing this. <3

Seeing this story unfold in real time back then was an incredible experience~ Being on a similar journey in my life, it resonated with me in such a profound way.

Seeing this in the form of an art book brings me joy, and I eagerly await the day a physical print is available too~
Thanks, Rain~ ❤️

I saw the sketch thread the first time
the day after my HRT day 0
01/02/23

and realized these experiences would keep happening, over and over, more creatures falling through the vortex

I was sobbing the whole time!
It hit me so hard and it was beautiful to see how far you've come!
You've help me so much realize who I am.
I'm still terrified, but I hope I can be as beautiful as you one day.
From the bottom of my heart Thank You.

That whole beard thing, oof that hits home. Constantly wondering if I've my beard because it looks good, or because I don't like my face without it (and if so is it because of gender or something else?) Thanks for making this!

strawberrymichi.bsky.social•4 days ago

Actually teared up reading this at how many things you've gone through that I'm also going through and realizing about myself. Thank you so much for sharing this. Its a HUGE help to me and many others. ;;

leather-judas.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hey thanks for putting this together, I only fiund you a few months ago but a lot of your art has really resonated with me, and this had me in my feelings about my early transition (cir. 2020-21) real hard

leather-judas.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think something is up with the link but I cant wait to see this

lordfenrir.bsky.social•4 days ago

Your doodles helped me figure all this gender stuff out, so thank you for helping me figure out my femininity 💚

titshark.bsky.social•4 days ago

Mother Mother lyrics! Shit... now *I'm* thinking.

You are something truly special, Yote. I'm glad I know you. I'm glad you could do all this.

crowski.bsky.social•4 days ago

Uh oh. I may or may not relate to a whole lot of that ' v'

The egg might be crackin

zerogravitybunpup.bsky.social•3 days ago

NGL I would LOVE to see this in physical print!!! I think your ark has been so wild and valid and raw about urself while alot of the time having a sense of humor. Would love to add this to my shelf of queer artists

gabefoxx.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thank you so much for making this 💜 Very, very heart touching. And the art overall is beyond amazing. And overwhelming, incredible experience.

discfla.me•3 days ago

this is so fucking real, thanks for sharing. "i hate when i'm right" hits

queercatclub.bsky.social•2 days ago

bought and read it throughout the day. really hit me hard a lot of points
I am jealous of your progress, since HRT is a nightmare to obtain here, and also so fucking proud of you

we've got this, and we are beautiful
thank you for this, truly 🧡✨🏳️‍⚧️

queercatclub.bsky.social•2 days ago

also fuuuuck the godsdamned BOXERS
I still have a bunch of my old ones, which used to be like.. so nice and comfortable and good
and now they're just.... AWFUL???

kipperklank.bsky.social•4 days ago

Just finished it. Yep. I'm 5 months in and even though I have a completely different backstory and family relations, I went through nearly the same thing. Less dysphoria but same thing. Thanks you for this. It reassures me that I will be fine. Thanks. 🩵🤍🩷

dekoyote.bsky.social•3 days ago

This was a wonderful read. Thank you for sharing.

dekoyote.bsky.social•4 days ago

That cover is amazing.

jankar89.bsky.social•4 days ago

Goodness definitely took some critical hits at sections, thank you so much for sharing

haroldmillerhmcl.bsky.social•4 days ago

You misspelled a couple words.

vanillayote.bsky.social•3 days ago

sadly clip studio doesn't have a spell-checker.

haroldmillerhmcl.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh.

ihatetrolling.bsky.social•2 days ago

the title looks like it says "dysphowia" and i find that mildly funny

corrinmuir.bsky.social•3 days ago

Will be downloading this when I can to see the whole collection, but I’ll add to this saying your art has been VERY inspiring and illuminating for my own journey. Thank you for putting it out into the world. :3

jonieroo.bsky.social•4 days ago

Doesn't seem like the link is working

voltshoard.bsky.social•4 days ago

Just read. Cried like 4 times. This was gut punch after gut punch. I only figured out my gender stuff like 2-3 months ago after dealing with SO much doubt for so damn long. Its so genuinely reassuring that the constant doubt is normal, and that it does get better. Thank you so much for posting this🧡

shapelessink.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yooooo!

I was so curious what the thing you were hurrying to finish was yesterday and I was not disappointed!

xeans.bsky.social•4 days ago

Early in my journey myself, and your art really expresses a lot I had/have trouble talking about.

Also keep meaning to get back to a light exercise routine and this reminded me.

lunafox.bsky.social•1 day ago

Its been (and still is) a wonderful journey; I had started HRT roughly 2 months before you and seeing someone else go through the exact same things I was/had just gone through filled me with so much joy it was crazy. The way you were able to just perfectly illustrate everything was a thing of beauty

adirhorse.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thank you for creating this. I cracked a few months ago now and in chaos of life I was going to skip right by this until @pixelatedpenny.bsky.social reminded me.

It was like an emotional bomb went off reading it leaving me shaking in its wake. Realizing others have these thoughts as well.

nebine.bsky.social•4 days ago

thanks for putting this together, it's super touching to read through! seeing other folks' experiences really helps articulate my own feelings and helps remind me of how far I've come. it hasn't happened as quickly as I'd like, but I'm slowly becoming happier with what I see in the mirror. 💜🏳️‍⚧️

kayfoxxx.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well shit that hits home.

..I had a beard since I was 21 and I finally shaved at like 36 so oof yeah complicated feelings

quonkulus.bsky.social•4 days ago

going through a similar situation myself rn, still got a long way to go but i've stopped trying to suppress it and started listening to myself. this put words to feelings i was too avoidant to evaluate. this was huge, many, many thanks.

NEVER USED ITCH.IO BEFORE THE LINK SHOULD WORK NOW

meaculpameatulpa.bsky.social•4 days ago

unless I am being terminally silly, I think the link is still not working?

I'm sorry I'm just not seeing the download link on the page.

this comic means a lot to me. To the point that the only times I had trouble staying with it was when it hit too close to home at times, haha!

mikoyote.bsky.social•4 days ago

Had the same issue on mobile, but copying the link to a browser and switching to the desktop mode of the site had the download button appear, hope this helps!

vanillayote.bsky.social•4 days ago

apparently when you update the files, itchio deletes the old files FIRST, then uploads the new ones

meaculpameatulpa.bsky.social•4 days ago

ahhhh, I was just extremely well timed then, good good!
