Chapter 3 Extra #2
I’m gonna post a few links here.
If you want to suggest a sketch, or ask a question about the world or characters please send it in via curiouscat https://curiouscat.me/Kytri you can also just ask me stuff, similar to how asks on tumblr and formspring were.
Also I’m trying to stream more, my twitch channel is https://www.twitch.tv/secretcollect I don’t currently have a schedule. My plan is to add one once my patreon hits $350 a month. It’s currently about $325 and has been there for ages.
Yeah, I wrote some stories for a (soft sci-fi) shared setting where people can trivially change sex and gender, and characters are repeatedly told to just embrace it, with no thought given to how complicated the issue remains. Even though the obvious problems are repeatedly highlighted. Being cis myself, I can only rely on education, as opposed to direct experience, and it still grated me badly enough to point it out in a story. Never thought about the issue of visibility to readers however, and that’s an excellent point.
I think there are probably some sorts of stories where that sort of thing is fine, it depends on execution.
I think the problem comes up when people throw things like that in without considering how it would affect things.
I did think that might be reason, and I’m super glad to see I was right
(also I was totally recommending your comics while I was at my local Con this weekend, so here’s to more Kiwi readers in your future!)
Aw thanks so much!
I had heard there was a convention there this past weekend because an artist I follow was there.
Is the first mate of the ship Trans?? :O I like the ships’ crew, they seem like awesome people lol
They are non binary.
I was wondering whether a physical transition would even be possible in this setting. Clearly we have binders, it’s nice that he doesn’t use bandages or anything. But I wasn’t sure the technological level that goes into something like hormones, or if there was some complex expensive magic that could be used. And at our current tech level in the real world, we still don’t have 100% functional surgery results for the downstairs. And I’ve heard that top surgery can result in nipples falling off???? I wouldn’t trust the local barber to do a surgery like that if it was something I wanted or needed.
