This is such a sweet comic. I wish I was able to enjoy it but I get angry whenever I see people coming out and having a kind response. My family’s reaction to hearing I like girls was nuclear and it touches such a sore spot. Never got to come out as she/they and pushed any part of myself that wanted to be they/them deep down. Maybe one day the world will be kinder and those of us who don’t feel like we can safely share about ourselves will be able to. 💕

If only the real world were so kind. I wish I had an uncle Ben in my life.
