Regarding Those Largely Imaginary Cis Men Pretending To Be Trans Women…

If you enjoy these cartoons, then you’d be interested to know that many of history’s most famous people are also huge fans of my work, including Abraham Lincoln, Ada Lovelace, Margaret Thatcher (who wrote me only last week to let me know that I am objectively the greatest artist in all of history), and Ulysses. And all of them support my Patreon. So be like them!
TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON
This cartoon has four panels, all featuring the same two characters, who are chatting on a suburban looking sidewalk. The character on the left is a blonde woman with neat, shoulder-length hair, a white shirt with a black collar, and a purple skirt. The character on the right is a woman with straight hair on top, dyed in streaks of orange and greenish-yellow, while the hair on the sides is orange and buzz-cut. She’s wearing below-the-knee shorts and a tank top, and one of her arms is covered with tattoos.
For the purpose of this transcript, I’ll call these characters SKIRT and TATTOO.
PANEL 1
Skirt is talking animatedly to Tattoo, smiling and stretching her arms it to make her point. Tattoo listens with her arms crossed and a neutral expression.
SKIRT: Bathroom bans aren’t about screwing over trans people. They’re about protecting women from cis men. Otherwise, cis men would pretend to be trans to get into women’s bathrooms.
PANEL 2
A slightly different angle, so we’re now seeing Tattoo from the back. Skirt continues to smile as she explains; we can’t see Tattoo’s face, but from her body language she’s disturbed by what she’s hearing.
SKIRT: That’s why we need a law saying people can only used bathrooms that match their sex at birth. And if it just happens to harm trans people… that’s only an unfortunate side effect.
PANEL 3
A close up of Tattoo shows her frowning as she thinks, one hand rubbing her forehead.
TATTOO: Even if that were a real problem, with your law couldn’t cis men just say they’re trans men to get into women’s bathrooms? Wouldn’t it make it easier for them, since they wouldn’t need dresses or makeup?
PANEL 4
Skirt takes a step back, looking a little irritated and holding up a hand in a negating gesture. Tattoo, looking angry, is holding up her hands and yelling.
SKIRT: But if we look at it that way, there’s no reason to screw over trans people.
TATTOO: WHY IS THAT A PROBLEM FOR YOU?
