I remember a psychology class back in highschool, the teacher showed a picture, as usual i wasnt paying any attention, but i fast look at it... and i knew it was her... Gwen, a ts girl.. I was sent to detention for saying she was a she and that is not a sickness or something wrong...

My best friend transitioned in her early years of puberty, but to do it she had to move away, mexico isnt exactly a good place... she moved to another city... and i lost contact with her...
I hope shes doing fine wherever she is...
and also hope the best for you friend =)

I can say something many artist can't... My art has NOTHING to do with how I look.
Can you say the same?
:iconmaou-naito:
This upsets me greatly. Being a member of the transgendered community at my age is very difficult.

I hope you hear from your friend soon... I really do...

I don't know what to say... this is so over whelming...
:iconroxio41-50:
That's horrible. Why is the world so insecure about this?
There's always the hope of the day people can understand and accept those people. It just makes me wonder:
WHAT THE HELL IS EVERYONES' PROBLEM!?

It's people like you and Nicole that actually make the world BETTER!
I don't know...I guess that's how I was raised. I was exposed to views from people like you at an early age.
[a tear shed for those lost...]

My best friend Alexis started transitioning into a girl at age 14, the Shay character in my comic is actually based partly on her.

Here's her myspace

but she does not go on there very often.
If you would really like to talk to her then send me a note and I can give you her sn.

I love your comics, they have helped me through so much. It's kind of corny, I know... ._.
:iconmekarex:
It's not corny at all. I'm really happy to know that so many people are already getting so much out of the comic ^.^
:icontaigan:
This is very beautiful.

Thanks for doing this. I keep meaning to do one of these myself, but I always forget this day when it comes around.

:iconaneiryu:
Absolutely beautiful. A wonderful commemoration for those who are murdered for the simple fact that they try to be themselves. *shakes head* I will never understand why it is that people have to be so bloody insecure about the whole notion. We are people just like anyone else, that we are.

In any case, magnificent work here. And I sincerely hope your friend, Nicole, is found safely, that I do. =^.^=
