Anonymous asked: My dad was telling me there's no scientific evidence that trans people are real and that people who think they're trans are mentally ill. Is there anything I can show him with scientific proof that he's wrong?
Kii says:
As these are scientific articles, they contain medical terminology and outdated/possibly offensive terminology (transsexual), as well as some nonbinary erasure:
- Why is a transgender person not considered to have a mental illness?
- Is there something unique about the transgender brain?
- Clinical management of gender identity disorder in adolescence
- Evidence on the biological nature of gender identity
- The transgender brain
- Transgender kids show consistent gender identity across measures
- Science just proved that being transgender is not a phase
ComicStats: Creator Gender Ratios for Comics Published Between 20160814 and 20160820
Some gender stats for last week’s comics. Work in progress.
Some white women are mad about intersectional feminism the same way white men are mad when something of great importance to someone else has little or nothing to do with them.

Anonymous asked: There was a rumor going on that you and Kelly Sue DeConnick were trying to get Erik Larsen blacklisted from the industry. What up with that?
What the fuck?
Where do people come up with this shit?
First, I don’t believe Kelly Sue and I have ever had even a single conversation about Erik, not that I can recall. If she’s mad at him, I am not aware of it, or if I WAS aware of it, it was so inconsequential that I’ve completely forgotten.
Second, Erik is a FRIEND OF MINE. Holy shit, I can’t believe people make this nonsense up. I got to know Erik while were were on a vacation in Glasgow and we are friends and are always happy to see each other and visit. I have a LOT of friends that some other people feel are too grumpy or whatever. But I think Erik’s a good guy and a lot of fun to hang with. I like to hear his opinions. We often disagree, we’ve had a couple whopper disagreements, but neither of us ever considered blocking the other. We’re friends.
Third, Erik is a FOUNDING PARTNER in the third largest comics publisher in the US. How in god’s name is this ‘blacklisting’ supposed to work? Puny writers don’t have that kind of power and if I DID, I wouldn’t have any interest in using it. People have a right to disagree.
Weird. What a huge heap of horseshit. What was it I was supposed to want him ‘blacklisted’ for?
Even the idea is about the goofiest nonsense I’ve ever heard. Sheesh.
1. This is one reason why we need women-owned comic companies.
2. Simone is way more open-minded than I am. I just wouldn’t be friends with anybody who, just as a for-instance, thinks that women can’t be impartial as jurors. http://comicsalliance.com/erik-larsen-neil-gaiman-female-jury/
