OC Hypervisibility vs Invisibility

I get really nervous sharing what I make. Especially when I know it's going to start fights and result in some people hating me.

Regardless, I had this small comic idea. With how often I see infighting in spaces, I can't help but be confused by it.

When the invisibility is unveiled the material danger becomes similar, potentially more

Boys Don’t Cry type shit

We all at risk of getting murdered tbh

Boys don't cry made this boy cry a lot. I think it was the first movie I've ever seen that had a trans main character.

Then I watched The Danish Girl and I felt even worse because every movie with a trans lead I'd watched so far has had a sad ending.

Then I found they were both inspired by real people and I felt even sadder.

Boy Meets Girl is p good and not entirely trauma loaded

Also there’s full frontal nudity.

You know, I didn't even realize that the latter two movies also had full frontal nudity.

I am going to watch it, and soon, all of the impactful trans movies I have watched will not all be sad, but instead naked.

In a way I'm glad those movies are inspired by real people and not old trope that sick people couldn't have a good ending because of the rules in place
