Author notes
I've been thinking a lot about the response to the last strip. I almost took it down, but decided not to. Knowing that some really great kids look to this strip for inspiration imparts a lot of responsibility. I always wanna do right by them! But it can be difficult balancing that with the narrative needs of the story. This is not, after all, a 'how to transition in elementary school' primer, but an ongoing story about a little girl and her loved one, and how her gender variance affects her relationships.. I have to keep that going, above all. I feel bad that the advice given Sarah in this story may be bad advice for other people. I'll try to keep things as universal as possible, but at the end of the day, remember; this is Sarah's life: the same things may not apply to others.

Parents' response is scary for kids and scary for grown ups too.

I can totally relate to Sarah being scared. I hope things work out okay with her and her mom.

Like all advice, there is no one size fits all. What might work for one person won't for others.
I know one woman who has been very acceptingof her new daughter and is trying hard to do the right thing by her. Then there are others who go ballistic.
In the end, you have to remind yourself, "This is only a story."
And today's strip is yet another great one!

She has so many people who love her. It warms the heart. :)
