Thanks to all of you who submitted proposals for guest strips on What’s Normal Anyway! I can’t wait to see the depths of creativity possessed by my dear readers.
Also, I’m going back to Florida next week! Then Bolivia! Then Florida again! And finally New York. If any of you have recommendations for cool things to do in Bolivia, I’d love to hear them! My dad and I are traveling to Santa Cruz, Samaipata, and hopefully Salar de Uyuni, the magnificent salt flats. This trip will be my first time out of the country since I transitioned, so I’m excited to test my new passport. Luckily I didn’t have too many issues getting the gender updated, but it helped that I had a letter from the surgeon who did my chest. If I hadn’t had that letter, I would’ve needed to have all of my legal documents updated, which is not yet the case. In fact, I needed the surgeon’s letter when updating every one of the documents I’ve changed so far, so I wouldn’t have gotten far without surgery. This is of course terribly unfair to those who can’t have or don’t want surgery. The laws aren’t consistent everywhere, though, so I’m sure these experiences vary.
Anyway, I’ll be back with more adventurous tales later.
Bye!
His grandparents are great.
WAIT WAIT, SOUTH Florida? o:
Noooo, just North Florida this time.
It must be difficult having his mom tell him he’s not himself. If Mel was real, I’d be giving him the biggest hug ever right now. Anyway, I love your comics, and while I can’t draw (so I dunno if I could do a guest comic) I do have lots of ideas!
Thank you! That’s so nice to say. Anyone is willing to submit a guest strip regardless of artistic ability. If it’s a really clever idea then the art has some leeway!
wow i wish my grandparents were like that!
You don’t need any surgery to change your passport in the US, you just need a doctor to write a letter confirming that you’re transitioning and that they expect you will stay that way. I haven’t had any surgery and I got my passport changed without any problems.
Poor Mel,I hope it gets better.
