‘Cos sometimes it’s good to say it out loud…
PS: Joe totally came up with the phrase: WEAPON OF MASS DECONSTRUCTION. This proves my boyfriend is the most awesome.
TRANSCRIPT:
Panel 1:
Sam: (A person wearing a blue-grey hoodie, who is looking directly at the viewer, with raised eyebrows and an open mouth. One arm is shown in four positions, it is: bent up with its index finger pointing up, bent out with its palm face up, bent out with its thumb pointing up, and bent down with its palm facing the ground. There are lines near each hand, indicating movement.) I am a man. A sensitive, anxious, non-sporty man.
Panel 2:
(There are five Sams.)
Sam 1: (A person who is looking directly at the viewer, with raised eyebrows and an open mouth, which has very upturned edges. One arm is bent up, its index finger pointing straight up, the other arm is bent forwards, its palm and fingers bent towards Sam 1’s belly.) A man who likes gesticulating.
Sam 2: (A person who is standing next to Sam 1, and is looking directly at the viewer. Eyebrows are raised, mouth is open, with upturned edges, and one arm is bent forward, its thumb pointing up.) Who’s nerdy!
Sam 3: (A person who is standing in front of and slightly to the side of Sam 2, and is looking directly at the viewer. Eyebrows are raised, and mouth is open, with upturned edges. Both arms are reached out and in front of Sam 3, with both thumbs pointing up.) Who likes men, women & people.
Sam 4: (A person who is crouching, both between Sam 3 and Sam 5, and a little behind Sam 5, and who is looking directly at the viewer. Eyebrows are raised and pushed together slightly, and mouth is open, with slightly downturned edges. One arm is bent up at the elbow, its palm facing up.) Who is quite shy.
Sam 5: (A person who is looking directly at the viewer, with lowered, slightly pushed together eyebrows, and an open mouth which has slightly upturned edges. One arm is bent up at the shoulder and elbow, its hand in a fist level with Sam 5’s head.) And who is never going to be muscly.
Panel 3:
Sam: (A person who is side on to, but looking directly at the viewer, with raised eyebrows and an open mouth, which has slightly upturned edges. Sam is kneeling next to a box, atop which is a handle that Sam is holding with both hands. A curly wire attaches the box to explosives, beside which is a sign, bearing the words “Weapon of mass deconstruction”.) I am a man who’s working to destroy your stereotypes.
Panel 4:
(There are two Sams.)
Sam 1: (A person who is looking directly at the viewer, with raised eyebrows, and an open mouth, which has very upturned edges. Both arms are up near Sam 1’s head, with a couple of lines by each, which indicate movement. One of Sam 1’s legs is bent back at the knee, and the other is bent forward at the knee.) I am a man with a different body than most. Sam 2: (A person who is looking directly at the viewer, with raised eyebrows and an open mouth, which had upturned edges. One arm is bent up at the elbow, its index finger pointing straight up, the other hand is in Sam 2’s pocket.) But still a man.

Great post! Love the site. 🙂
Thankyou!

Hmm, I’m worried this is going to sound way forward but… you’re also a man who draws yourself real cute. I kind of a have a little bit of a crush on cartoon Sam.
Sorry about that. It’s totally the facial expressions.
You are officially the winner of my most favourite comment ever. I am a big supporter of cartoon crushes, especially on me, haha!
Oh good! I love cartoon crushes too! (I also have TV boyfriends)
Ah. Agreed, Sam,agreed. I’m not sporty or athletic. I like arts and playstation games. But none of those make me a transman. 🙂
thanks, I needed the smile.
No worries dude, hope all is good at your end of the Island 🙂
Lol my end of the island? Well, got declined Testosterone from Nelson so been put on yet another waiting list, even though the psych had proved I was sane. is an ongoing battle I guess. 😀 Yay for non-stereotypical transmen.
Aw man, sorry to hear bout getting declined, that really sucks. I’ve made my first endo appointment, so we’ll see how that goes. I hear ya on the ‘ongoing battle’ stuff. Kia Kaha.
OOH good luck with your first endo appointment. 😀
So, I stumbled upon this on the “sex is not the enemy” tumblr.
And… I just want to say that I absolutely love it. I really identify with this comic, and it truly made my day. :3 Thank you.
That’s so great, I’m really glad you like it – thank you!
ahem, mr roostertails, where is my credit for creating the hard-hitting yet whimsical language device used in the third panel?
yay for you being tumbled on sex is not the enemy! that tumblr is beautiful.
Oh…. yeh, I forgot that I said I’d credit you. Consider the problem rectified.
“Weapon of Mass Deconstruction” is beautiful and I am stealing it (with acknowledgement, though).
TRiG.
You’re most welcome to it, it was totally stolen from Joe, anyway 🙂
.Thank.You. For this post, for your words, your pictures, your stories, your strength, your…just. thank.you.
wow, thankyou!
