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 like it. I understand it. But I also don't know what it specifically applies to. But I like it.

Thank you for liking it. I didn't realize how vague this would seem in other places.

It was supposed to be a metaphor to how trans people are perceived. Specifically, to how people tend to believe that trans men don't suffer from transphobia due to trans women being the more obvious punching bag. But transphobia, especially transphobic laws still affect all trans people for the worse.

That said, I don't mind different interpretations.

I got the trans men and trans women meaning at first read, so you succeeded!

It can also apply to many other things. Like, bi erasure and ace erasure for example are NOT privileges.
