Transitive Properties: The Fish Metaphor
![[A comic panel. A young man in a grey hoodie is ordering a cup of black coffee from a blonde girl at the counter. It is captioned 'I've been looking for a good metaphor for what getting misgendered feels like for me.']](http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp2qlc7TFo1qd3tso.png)
![['I've concluded that it feels kind of like this:' the barista smacks the young man across the face with what looks like a large bluefin tuna, while saying with a smile, 'it'll be right out, MA'AM']](http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp2qoeurG31qd3tso.png)
![[The young man is holding his coffee in one hand and the side of his face in the other, looking perturbed but saying 'thanks'. 'Why a fish? Well, it hurts like hell.']](http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp2qqdAgj01qd3tso.png)
![['And it's frustrating.' The young man is standing at a counter with sugar a pitcher of cream on it, thinking, 'why would you even do that']](http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp2qs5EqMh1qd3tso.png)
![['And it's absurd.' The young man is tipping the cream pitcher over his cup of coffee, asking himself 'what about me told her that was necessary anyway']](http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp2qtpHDaE1qd3tso.png)
![['And sometimes the stink of it sticks to you all day long.' The young man is walking, looking frustrated, with the cup of coffee to his lips. He is mumbling 'why do people keep hitting me with these motherfucking FISH.']](http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp2qvdpHbP1qd3tso.png)
Sorry for the wait! I’ve been hard at work over on my other Tumblr writing and drawing another comic called White Noise, which I hope y’all will check out when it starts up in August. :D
Also—holy shit, three hundred followers! Thanks everyone!
Bonus:
![[The same young man is dressed as Harry Potter, wand in hand. He is being hit from behind by another large fish, while someone is yelling, 'hey, that Harry Potter is a girl!']](http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp2r1d88dc1qd3tso.png)
![[The young man is glaring over his shoulder, surrounded in a bright green aura. Above his head the words 'BASILISK STARE' are written in the same green.]](http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp2r7nbW2T1qd3tso.png)
