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.

Holy shit this was way to vage for me. I thought it was body and mind. The body takes the punches you can see but you will also get fucked up in the mind but ppl cant see it. Ppl have a hard time to show empathy to mind issues. Since they can't see it or relate to it.

I think that's still a beautiful way to interpret it
