Part of me feels pretty scared of transitiong; knowing I have to tell important people before I start, wondering how testosterone will affect me, fretting that I’ll never actually save up for top surgery (and freak out about the pain of it if I do)…
But I heard this tale from a fellow transman and was so delighted I wanted to put it up in comic form.
TRANSCRIPT:
Panel 1:
Person 1: (A pair of hands, wrists, and the ends of green shirt sleeves. The hands are holding a piece of paper*) Sigh. (The paper reads, with ‘overdue’ written in red:) OVERDUE! NOTICE. Dear Ms. Chatham, I’m writing to inform you you have missed four payments and now have $1572.69 OWING on your account please contact us immediately to make these payments.
Panel 2:
Person 1: (A person wearing a blue collared shirt, a green sweater, brown trousers, and is facing the viewer, but looking down at a piece of paper. Eyebrows are lowered, and mouth is closed, with slightly downturned edges. Chin has a short, dark goatee. Shoulders are lowered, arms are bent up at the elbows, and hands are holding the piece of paper.
Person 1’s mobile phone: Ring Ring! RING RIIING!
Panel 3:
Person 1’s mobile phone: (A pale blue phone, with pale orange buttons, and a dark grey screen) Hello, this is the debt collection office. Could I speak with Mary Chatham?
Panel 4:
Person 1: (Facing the viewer, but looking off to the side, with one raised eyebrow, and one lowered. Mouth is open, with slightly upturned edges. One arm is raised at the shoulder, bent up at the elbow, and the hand is holding the phone to person 1’s ear. The other arm is by person 1’s side.) I’m sorry, this is no longer her phone.
Person 1’s mobile phone: Oh, sorry sir. Goodbye then.
