4 frame comic. first frame shows a swimmer with a one piece bathing suit. 2nd frame shows an enthusiastic kid with a shirt written waterpolo on it. 3rd shows a man with a shirt that reads "someone I love is trans". 4th frame shows a girl with a trans flag. text reads, across the frames : Being visible or outspoken as a trans person will make you a target of violence and hatred. but it will also show every other trans person that it's possible to exist in their space. visibility empowers and changes heart. I believe in a future in which trans people aren't forced to live in fear, shame and secrecy.

My strip for TDOV.

4 frame comic, in which an off-frame street journalist asks a man with a handlebar mustache waiting for the subway : "sir! what do you think it says about transgender issues that a pro-trans state such as Iran forces gay people to undergo sex change surgeries to make homosexuality disappear?" the man replies, over three frames : "forces sterilisation is something trans people have been fighting against for decades. Iran is absolutely not a good place to be trans. Trans iranians have no rights, are discriminated against and ostracized. Trans kids face electroshock therapy. (note: a 2021 study by healthcare for women international found that 70% of Iranian trans women have been victims of physical violence.). Sure, there's a narrow, legal pathway to have your gender recognized (unless you're non-binary), but the surgery you're being forced into won't be performed by an expert. Trans people who can't or don't want surgery remain subject to anti-sodomy and anti-crossdressing laws. Iranian authorities don't want more trans people. Recent studies contest the myth that cis gay Iranians are being forced to transition, and found that western media are widely misrepresenting the legal loophole of having a cis gay person transition (in order to live with their partner openly) as de facto forced transition for all of them. It's not a thing. (note : Ardebili, M Eftekhar 2918: Tramnsgenderism in Iran. Saeidzadeh, zara 2019: Understanding socio-legal complexities of sexe change in postrevolutionary Iran)."

It's not a thing.

4 frame comic. a street journalist is interviewing a tall light brown man with a pink scarf and a tshirt of the band Angine de Poitrine. off-frame, the journalist asks : sir! are you worried about homophobic parents who might want to trans their child rather than have an effeminate son? the man replies : wait wait wait wait wait. are you implying that some homophobes might not also be raging transphobes? Never heard of that. trans kids are currently being hunted down, outlawed, marginalized from social life, singled out in their own schools, and you're asking me about some hypothetical parent who might pressure a child into being trans so they might what? fit in better? transitioning as a child in- volves years of determination. every adult in their life is likely to cast doubt on who they are. if they are lucky and have supportive parents, their families are often ostracized by their community. the idea that someone sees the hardships a family with a trans child goes through and thinks "they must have forced it on them" makes me physically ill.

Wait wait wait wait wait

comic strip. two men are discussing. one says: you know what scares me? parents allowing their child to be trans. that's child abuse! the other replies : omg! let kids be kids. the first says : exactly! but the second continues : in this case, it means to let trans kids transition so they get to enjoy their childhood instead of feeling broken and unloved because of who they are. not allowing a trans kid to transition won't make them less trans, just miserable and distressed. that's child abuse.

Let kids be kids.

comic strip where we see a vox pop mic with a voice off asking an elderly woman with a walking stick : "maam! what do you think is the cause of the trans epidemic of violence we're witnessing?" she replies : "what I'm witnessing is an epidemic of violence against the trans community. for a decade now, there has been a conscious effort by the far-right to rush and pin unrelated acts of violence on trans people in order to demonize them and weaken trans rights. The fact is that 98% of mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men, despite being less than half of the population. you don't see me advocating to round up and institutionalize cis men. A third of mass shootings on the planet take place in the U.S. while Americans only make up 5% of the world's population. The U.S. has a gun violence problem, not a trans one.

They're foaming at the mouth.

4 frame comic. it reads, on top of each frame : Give trans kids a chance to be kids without having to fight for the right to exist. first frame shows a kid playing soccer, second shows two kids drawing dinosaurs at a table, third shows a group of friends sitting by a fountain drinking bubble tea and eating chips, fourth shows a kid with long curly hair holding a trans flag.

Give trans kids a chance to be kids.

4 frame comic. a street journalist, off frame, asks someone with long hair exiting the subway : miss! do you think it's fair for biological female athletes to be forced to compete with transgenders? she replies : that's not a question. every year, new studies show that trans women have no inherent athletic advantages over cis women. science and research have settled this already.* *a meta-study published this month in the british journal of sports medicine reviewed 52 studies with 5252 trans athlete participants. https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/60/3/198 what's unfair is how female athletes, cis or trans, must endure constant, unrestrained sexual misconduct throughout their formative years to simply get a shot at competing at an elite level. just last month, a report* showed that 88% of surveyed u.k. elite athletes of the int'l women's sports collective reported sexual misconduct, and 40% reported sexual abuse. 93% of the time, perpetrators were cis men. *"Women’s experiences of sexual misconduct working in UK elite sport," summary report by Lindsey Simpson, 2026

That's not a question.

4 frame comic. A woman with a long purple scarf is waiting for the subway. a street journalist approaches her and asks : miss! do you think we're approaching a moment when the public will recognize that allowing children to be transed was a terrible idea? She replies : considering that with each passing day, the public sees how much of the anti-trans movement was engineered by the wealthy to fuel culture war hate on the back of a vulnerable community, I'd say we owe massive apologies to trans people. just this week, we learned that a decade ago, epstein suggested using trans rights as a wedge issue, and that jk rowling's team was courting him. we also learned that what we were told about the closure of the tavi- stock clinic, the only youth clinic in the u.k. for gender-affirmative care, was nothing but lies. rowling's pal hilary cass forced the clinic to close after reports of 1000 complaints from families. we learned this week that it only received eight over 10 years, mostly about delays. in the meantime, the health dep't has been concealing trans children suicide numbers, which we now know rose dramatically following the closure. The terrible idea was always to scapegoat trans kids.

We owe it to these kids to keep fighting for truth to prevail.

I collected this game when I was young!! Very fun game tbh.

As a person in the veterinary field I can assure you the staff are gonna give her all the love and keep a great eye on her. Sending you and her all the healing vibes!

4 frame comic. Ciel is answering the Gender Helpline while playing with a pencil. A caller asks : Hello Gender Helpline. My daughter has recently transitioned, and I support her wholeheartedly, but I'm a bit perplexed, because I didn't see any sign of it before. Is that normal? Ciel replies : well first, let's mention that the "signs" you refer to (clothing, toys, interests, etc I guess?) would be part of someone's gender expression, which is distinct from gender identity. Often, very early on, trans and gender non-conforming kids learn to mask their gender expression to avoid social disapproval. gender policing is cruel! Also, it's worth stressing the fact that people aren't trans just because they like things associated with another gender. so unless a child says that they identify as another gender than the one they were assigned at birth, there's no actual sign! the caller replies : thank you gender helpline.

Perplexed.

Im always glad when Prometheus makes it know to me that he needs put down to go potty instead of just letting it rip on me. I would be devastated

4 frame comic. In the first frame, a portrait of Knut Hamsun. In the second, Hamsun is seen shaking hands with Goebbels. In the third, he looks at something Hitler is showing him. In the third, Machado presents Trump with her Nobel prize. Text reads : The last Nobel prize laureate to gift their medal to someone was The influential Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun*. Source : *the Nobel prize committee, the Nobel prize and the laureate are inseparable, JANUARY 16th 2026 he won the Nobel prize of Literature in 1920, and in 1943, decided to give it to Joseph Goebbels, the nazi head of propaganda. Days later, Hamsun was awarded a rare audience with Hitler, to complain about the German administrator of Norway and to plead for the release of Norwegian prisoners. nothing came out of it. sometimes, it feels like history is making fun of us.

History is making fun of us

4 frame comic. In the first frame, JD Vance is in Greenland. Text reads : praxis is a start-up funded by american billionaires and Trump backers such as jd Vance's puppeteer Peter Thiel and open AI's Sam Altman. its aim is to create "freedom cities" outside of democratic regulations and managed by a "king-ceo leading citizen-shareholders."* Second frame shows some houses of Nuuk, in Greenland. Text reads : in 2023, praxis founder dryden brown went to greenlAND TO Attempt buying it (or at least a sizeable chunk of it), without success. he said in 2025 : "we think Greenland is a very in- teresting place. we view it as one of the last frontiers on earth."** Third frame shows an iceberg. Text reads : he spoke for many. in April 2025, Reuters reported that tech investors in silicon valley were "promoting the frozen island as a site for a so-called freedom city, a libertarian utopia [sic] with minimal regulation."*** Fourth frame shows a Twitter screenshot reading 'according to plan." Text reads : since then, ken Bowery, Who co- founded a venture-capital firm with his PayPal buddy Peter thiel, has been appointed u.s. ambassador to Denmark, with the express order to lead greenland-acquisition negotiations. praxis reacted to the news by posting on Twitter: Sources are indicated at the bottom of the first three frames from Le Monde (Peter Thiel, the libertarian billionaire waging war on government), The New Republic (The oligarchs pushing for conquest of Greenland) and Reuters (Greenland freedom city? Rich donors push Trump for a tech hub up north)

4 frame comic. A street journalist asks an elderly woman : ma'am! What do you think of the radical left fear mongering that we could someday see fascism in the US? She replies: dear boy, the US has been a blueprint for fascism all along. Hitler specifically cited Jim Crow, US anti-miscegenation and white only immigration laws as inspiration for his eugenics policies. Germany sent people to study what was being done in the US to export it over there. In the 30s, tens of thousands of Americans attended massive rallies by fascist groups such as the friends of new Germany or the German American bund. Then in the 40s, two dozen Congress people were charged with sedition for planning a fascist overthrow of the government. And since WWII, the amount of fascist groups and militias has grown exponentially. Not only can fascism come to the US,it has always been an inherent part of American society.

Best of 2025 : Blueprint

2 frames comic. in the first frame, Stephie says : There is no trend or epidemic of kids being trans or non-binary. in the second frame, Ciel says : It's simply that more kids have the words to describe who they are and feel safer to come out.

There is no trend or epidemic of kids being trans or non-binary.

4 frame comic. a young looking brown person with short hair says : mom, dad, I'm trans. Someone off frame says : you're not, sweetie. It's just a phase. in the second frame, they say : doctor, I'm trans. someone off frame replies : we'll need more proof and many years of waiting before accepting it. in third frame, they say : society, I'm trans. They're holding a newspaper that reads : trans youth don't exist. in the fourth frame, a white woman says : kids are being coerced into being trans and forced to transition!! the kid says : wow ok

It's just so fashionable right now

4 frame comic. the character Stephie says, while appearing in different rooms of a house : Landlords do not provide housing. they buy and hold more space than they need for themselves. then, they create a false scarcity and profit off of it. what they're doing is literally the opposite of providing housing.

Landlords do not provide housing.

4 frame comic. in the first frame, we see a candle; in the second, a trans flag ; in the third, birds flying off a tree near a house; in the fourth, someone blowing on a fire. text reads : november 20th is trans day of remembrance, during which we remember trans people who died in the past year due to transphobic violence. When I was younger, t.d.o.r. always galvanized me into working even harder towards dignity and justice for trans people. may each of the 281 names on this year's list - and the many more names that we don't know - ignite in our heart a relentless desire to keep dreaming.

A relentless desire to keep dreaming

4 frame comic. a street journalist asks a woman : miss! do you think antisemitism is being normalized, considering how new yorkers elected someone such as zohran mamdani? She replies : what normalizes anti- semitism is giving neo-nazi holocaust denier nick fuentes a platform, like tucker carlson did with the endorsement of the president of the heritage foundation, the most influential conservative think tank. what normalizes antisemitism is draining it of its meaning, like when the anti-defamation league calls any empathy towards Palestinians or any critique of israel "antisemitism," while excusing Elon Musk for doing a literal nazi salute at a presidential inauguration. lastly, what feeds into the cynicism that allows anti- semitism to be normalized is when it is weaponized against muslims and used to attack dissident jewish voices.

It is being normalized. Just not how they want us to believe.

4 frame comic. characters are saying : November 13th marks the beginning of Trans Awareness Week. at least one in ten humans are trans, non-binary or gender non-conforming. Most of them on the planet don't have the privilege of safely transitioning or expressing themselves authentically. Making spaces explicitly inclusive of gender diversity can be the difference between life and death.

November 13th-19th is Trans Awareness Week.

4 frame comics, where we see scenes from the 1936 olympic games in Berlin : the Berlin stadium, 5 women holding hula hoops in the shape of the olympics logo, athletes doing an obstacle course. the last frame is the 2028 Los Angeles olympic logo. the text reads : the olympics have seen various forms of gender policing since the games of 1936 in nazi germany. it was introduced as a way to enforce the gender binary by disqualifying people with inter- sex characteristics or atypical gender expression. naked parades in front of a jury, gynecological inspections, chromosomal testing, certifica- tions that only richer countries could issue... these were all attempts at gender policing by the olympic committee between 1936 and 1996. one after the other, these practices were outlawed. they were all found to be flawed, misleading, humiliating, discrimi- natory, racist, misogynistic. since 2003, strict guidelines have allowed intersex and trans women to participate. despite 20 years of inclusion, there has only been one trans woman who competed, not winning any medal. yet, we just learned that the I.o.C. was looking into bringing back gender policing to ban intersex & trans athletes, in time for the nazi germany olympics of 2028. oops, I mean united states.

What a coincidence!

4 frame comic. a guy with a red cap asks Stephie : stop saying that fascism is a right- wing thing. what about stalin or mao? checkmate, leftist. she replies : authoritarianism isn't a synonym of fascism. fascism is ultra-nationalist, whereas communism, with or without the authoritarianism, is against any form of nationalism. fascism is a conservative ideology obsessed with national purity that teams up with big businesses to maintain itself in power. that's why it's considered far-right. but why do you care so much? do you think fascism would suddenly become acceptable to left-wingers if it had a leftist spin to it? sounds like something that someone who finds fascism acceptable would think.

Why is fascism right-wing?

4 frame comic. A guy with an American flag t shirt asks a woman with a Cochran Mamdani shirt : what do you care if Mamdani wins or loses? You're not even American. She replies : Americans have made sure through centuries of imperialism that whatever choice they make, the whole world will face the consequences. We are tired of hearing the gerontocrats standing between fascists and power telling us that the only way to defeat the far-right is to always move farther right ourselves. We want leaders who have the courage to stand up for the ideals, not political weathervanes willing to say whatever gets them closer to power,

The world is watching.

4 frame comic. 1st is the silhouette of two podcaster. Text reads In a world where trans people's dignity, humanity, and existence are subject to debate, every trans suicide is a murder. 2 is a silhouette of a swimmer. Text reads In a world where trans people aren't allowed to participate in their community, every trans suicide is a murder. 3 shows Gavin Newsom. Text reads In a world where trans people are thrown under the bus because their rights aren't considered a "winning issue", every trans suicide is a murder. 4 shows Lia Smith. Text reads In a world where trans people have to fight every instant of their life simply to have the right to live in peace, every trans suicide is a murder.

Say it with me.

4 frame comic. a street journalist asks a woman and her daughter : ma'am! do you think girls' rights to play sports should prevent transgender biological males from competing with them? she replies : not only is it prejudicial to trans girls' rights and health, but every legislature that made it mandatory to prove that a girl wasn't trans in order to play a sport saw a dramatic de- cline in enrollment, because of the extra hurdle to get a doctor to sign the forms. trans girls have rights too, and they deserve dignity and inclusion. our societies are struggling to get kids moving. there's a loneliness epidemic. and people want to do what? restrict access to afterschool programs? give me a break. as we speak, girls' teams are forced to cancel their activities so that we can keep bullying trans kids. if people really cared about girls' sports, they'd be fighting against things like boys' teams systematically getting more money and resources, and dibs on playing field schedules. that's the real infringement on girls' rights.

Give me a break.

4 frame comic. 1st frame shows the silhouette of a protest. text reads : anti-fascism isn't just about wearing cool scarves and ski goggles. when terfs* announced that they were organizing a protest at a library I was speaking at, they showed up and outnumbered the terfs. 2nd frame shows the silhouette of someone at a computer. text reads : it's antifa geeks monitoring alt-right online groups who told me that they found my address, 8 years ago. I could get to safety and make sure nothing happened, thanks to them. 3rd frame shows the antifa logo. text reads : it's an undercover antifa who told me Proud boys were planning to crash a library talk I was giving. they still did it, but we could prepare accordingly and the talk went as planned. 4th frame shows a protest with a "good night white pride" banner. text reads : it's a whole squad of anti- fascists who showed up to keep a neo-nazi group at bay from a family event I was speaking at. they stayed until the end to accompany participants to their car or all the way to their home. the police was aware of the threat but didn't do sh*t.

"What does antifa do?" My personal experience with antifa.

4 frame comic. someone is interviewing people on the street with a mic. he asks a man with a red hoodie : sir! what do you think of the recent survey that suggests that less people are now identifying as transgender? was it just a fad? the man replies : the survey you're referring to was about students from 3 specific colleges who did not identify as male or female, which only tells us about non-binary people, nothing about trans women or trans men. if what you got out of this survey is that there are less trans people in the world, it's because you have a deep mis- understanding of transness to begin wthe only thing it tells us is that less non- binary students are willing to out themselves or to enroll into college. transness gets criminalized, publicly shamed and persecuted. trans folks deciding to go back into the closet or flee to safety isn't the win some people seem to think it is. it's heart- breaking, tragic, and a net loss for society.

A net loss

4 frame comic. in the first frame, there's a giant banner of Trump on a building. text reads : authoritarianism in the 21st century tends to appear through what is called a process of "democratic backsliding" (also called "autocratization") rather than through a traditional coup. this allows the new regime to claim some kind of legitimacy. 2nd frame shows a silhouette of trump. text reads : democratic backsliding is when an elected executive uses power to subvert democratic institutions by attacking fair & free elections, suppressing freedom of speech, press & asso- ciation, or weakening the rule of law in the 3rd frame, we see a nazi parade in the 30s. text reads : according to political scientists mettler & lieberman, there are four key characteristics that provide the conditions for democratic back- sliding: political polarization, racism and nativism, economic inequality, and excessive executive power. in the last frame, we see the white house. text reads : in a report published in sept. 2025, the intl. institute for demo- cracy and electoral assistance found that 54% of the world's countries experienced democratic backsliding in the past year. that includes the united states.

"Democratic backsliding" is the process through which modern authoritarianism happens.
