The first time I came out to a coworker, it was early May, 2024. I had just started HRT the week before, and I wanted someone at the office to be in the know just in case it was necessary for some reason. She’s a wonderful person who I look up to and trust immensely. #trans #transgender #comics - ThreadSky

I honestly needed this today. Been kind of in a bad headspace from the world and a reminder of the beauty and love out there really touched me. Those girl moments are so important and special. Especially to us as trans women.

I didn’t come out to any other coworkers until October, when I decided it was “go time” to start telling folks at large as I couldn’t hide being on hormones forever.

There was a massive work event going on that week, and I think the stress of it all gave me a push to open up. The night before this comic, I came out to my cubicle row buddy, and he was as lovely and accepting as someone could be.

The next night, I came out to Yuqun on the stage of a music festival that was part of the multi-part event we were working.

I’ve talked before about not having had any “girl” socialization growing up, last week’s comic touched on it a little and ended on the idea that there’s hope to create some “girl” memories.

I like to ask my friends first if they’re ok with being featured in a strip. The ask goes a little like this:

“I’m going to do this anyway, but I’m asking permission.”

My phrasing definitely sounds kind of sinister, but I’m not great with words sometimes so I’ll have to ask for your forgiveness.
