Hey everyone! In case you haven't noticed, this is a new community focused on NonPolitical Comics (NPCs), which essentially means no gloom and doom of the day stuff.
If you like the idea, help out by posting a comic that you enjoy for us to share!
Imagine defending trans erasure simply because you believe it's performative to depict them in a non-political light.
If the comic depicted people protesting with signs demanding trans rights, or a doctor saying "I'm sorry but due to the new regulations I cannot prescribe HRT," then yeah that would have political undertones. If it depicted a dude in a red hat saying "gender is binary and assigned at birth" then that would also be political.
But this is just a kid coming out to their parents, and the parents are only concerned with what that means for their bet; implying that they accept the kid's chosen gender. If that's political, then so is parents accepting a kid's decision to study art in college, because some people make education a political topic.
You don't get it. I am saying that indeed the existence of something is the thing that has been politicised. Some people legitimately believe that transgender is not a real thing and is instead some kind of a delusion or mental illness. Even ignoring that coming out as a concept is political. We wouldn't have the concept of coming out if being queer hadn't been prosecuted and stigmatized in the first place. Being gay or trans would just be a property someone has like having brown eyes.
Okay then any depiction of a human is political because humans are political beings
