This cartoon is by Nadine Scholtes and I.
TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON
This cartoon has four panels. Each of them shows the same two characters walking through a park. The character on the left has a gender-ambiguous look, with short hair on the sides and a big puff on top, glasses, jeans, and a purple plaid flannel shirt open over a blue t-shirt. We’ll call them “Flannel.”
The character on the right is a guy, has short, neat hair, and is wearing a thick zip-up hoodie over a white t-shirt. We’ll call him “Hoodie.”
PANEL 1
The two are walking along a paved footpath through a park, Hoodie in front. Both of them are calm.
HOODIE: So-called “gender affirming care” is an atrocity!
FLANNEL: So a cis girl with PCOS shouldn’t get medicine to reduce facial hair?
HOODIE: I don’t mean that.
PANEL 2
A closer shot from the front; the two are still walking along without facing each other (Hoodie’s back is to Flannel), and still calm.
FLANNEL: Are you against breast reduction surgery for cis boys with gynecomastia?
HOODIE: Nope.
PANEL 3
The same scene as they walk on.
FLANNEL: Cis women getting laser hair removal? Cis men taking testosterone? Boob jobs for cis teens? Rogaine and Viagra for cis men?
HOODIE: All those are fine.
PANEL 4
Hoodie suddenly turns around, leaning forward, angry and yelling; Flannel, surprised, leans back.
FLANNEL: How about when a trans person–
HOODIE: THAT’S EVIL AND MUST BE BANNED!
