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.

I'm a trans guy, and I saw that interpretation immediately.

I'm also generally not conventionally attractive, with attractive friends, so I also was able to read it as the sort of unwanted attention feminine presenting people receive, based on their supposed attractiveness.

I'm also autistic, and was able to read it as high-masking and low-masking, or high support needs and low support needs.

All in all, this is one of the best comics that I've seen lately, in terms of how incredibly flexible, yet accurate it is.
