David, the short hipster French Duke of Awkward. A transmasculine/genderqueer nerd located in the Bay Area. Feminist, maker of things*, and occasional RPer. Token queer atheist liberal of the family. Bites, but only when asked nicely. Not really a hipster.

Blog is currently reblog-heavy. Commentary in tags may reach novel-length. Tags are not organizational tools. Text posts can and should be ignored to ensure one's mental soundness and continued belief that the author isn't a whiny prat.

Sherlock Holmes (all permutations). Doctor Who. Supernatural. Black Books. Father Ted. MST3K. Avengers. Tarantino flicks. Neil Gaiman books. Books in general. Amanda Fucking Palmer. Harry Potter. My Little Pony. Lots more. If it fits, I probably ship it.

Regarding pronouns: I prefer masculine or gender-neutral pronouns, in that order. Female pronouns will earn you a set of bruised shins.

What… what have I done?

“Transgender WTF” by Van B.

My final project for a feminist performances class. I chose to do a web comic of myself and how I feel about being trans/what trans means to me.

It’s part of a more extensive project/paper, creating a new trans narrative not based on self/societal hatred or violence, the denial of the former self, etc. Just because I’m a transman doesn’t mean I follow traditional masculinity. (This also extends to transwomen.)

Yes, I paint my nails. I love things that have glitter. I am fabulous.

I am and always will be trans, and I’m proud of that.

We hope you’re enjoying the comics! Van has been invited to create a storyboard with a fellow illustrator/animator, so we’ll see more shortly.

Feel free to reblog/repost, just give Van B. credit! :)

That’s it. I’m doing my nails. Fuck the haters.
