I've been making these comics and posting them online for more than 12 years, now. Lately, I've been having chronic insomnia - it's 6am where I am, and late, not early - largely due to the volume of harassment I've been getting. Sleeping a few hours here and there.

Dear readers! I have decided to take my "Best of Assigned Male" comic collection on a little European & Canadian tour this fall/winter. I will be sharing stories, how art can empower us in the age of technofascism, and how to find strength and empowerment when billionaires wish to see us disappear.

In the past, I've collaborated with various chapters of Amnesty International to create resources and give talks in different countries. Today, following their "apology" to JKR for shedding light on transphobic human rights violations in the UK, I publicly distanciate myself from that organization.

It's already the non-permanent solution.

four frame comic. An older man says to Stephie : Kids shouldn't make permanent decisions about their bodies. we must ban puberty blockers! She replies, through three panels : puberty blockers are meant to be non-permanent. They are used as a compromise because people won't trust trans teens to start hormones at the same time as their non-trans peers. Banning access to blockers not only takes that pause away from trans people, it forces them to watch their body change in a direction that we know will cause them pain and distress. It's pure cruelty. The only thing that is a permanent decision here is forcing trans teens to go through a puberty they don't wwant and might regret for the rest of their life. the man looks horrified.

Imagine the AUDACITY of someone WORKING while TRANS 😱

4 frame comic. in the first frame, a woman and a TERF are standing side by side, the woman with her arms crossed and the TERF looking upset, with a Adult Human Female shirt. she says : How am I supposed to work while a trans-identified coworker shoves his autogynephilic fetish in my face and mocks my sacred womanhood?! in the second frame, she's in an office, still upset, while a woman with a suit tells her : I'm sorry, we can't keep you on the team. you're fired. the TERF says : is it because of my protected gender critical beliefs that biology is real? the third and fourth frames show the woman in a suit saying : what? oh, not at all. No it's because you're a horrible person who has let hate rot her heart to the core.

Is it a real privilege if it doesn't help you win at Mario Kart?

Frank and Stephie are playing videogames on a purple couch. Frank asks her : so if you're trans, what am I, again? she replies : Cisgender, or cis. it means that your gender is the one you were assigned at birth. he says : isn't that a bit complicated? why not simply say that I'm normal? she replies : not naming being ''non-trans'' makes it impossible to put emphasis on the fact that the gender assignation process affects everyone, trans or not. You only feel like it's normal because you never questioned your gender. gender identity may seem like a useless concept when the whole world validates who you are. that's what's called a cis privilege. He says : it's not a real privilege if it doesn't help me win at Mario Kart.

Dear readers! Hear my tale of woe. I spent a few days in the city after being invited to speak for Pride, and I was driving home this morning, some 400km North, in time for my husband's birthday tomorrow, when my car broke down on the highway, in the middle of nowhere.

Some fan favourite shirt designs I made for sophielabelle.dashery.com (Teepublic) were of opossums and unicorns reminding people that "Stonewall was a riot". The Stonewall Inn has filed intellectual property claim against them.

Who would want to date a transphobe anyway?

two frame comic titled Saying you wouldn't date a trans person makes you a transphobe. first frame reads ''what it means'' and shows Stephie saying: Trans people have all types of bodies and genitalia. it's not a preference, it's stigmatisation and stereotyping. second frame reads ''what it doesn't mean'' and shows Stephie angrily pointing and saying : date a trans person this instant, bigot!

Children's lives are more gendered today than ever before in history.

4 frame comic. the first frame shows a man with a grey and white beard, G. Stanley Hall. The second shows a woman wearing a bonnet and sighing holding two babies. the third frame shows a boy and a very similar looking man, both dressed with the same suit and bowler hat. the last frame shows G. Stanley Hall again, looking at two alleys of toys, one pink and one blue, and saying ''nice''. Text reads :
People didn't think much about young boys wearing dresses until prominent psychologists such as G Stanley Hall threw early childhood under scrutiny. Under their developmental paradigms, queerness and transness suddenly became treatable consequences of parental mistakes (more often than not mother's mistakes, given the obsession with effeminacy and trans-femininity.) Building on the work of Hall, the early 20th century saw an evergrowing interest in making sure boys identified with their father and girls with their mother. that coincides with the moment pink and blue started being used as codes for girls and boys. The fact that the lives of today's children are more gendered than ever before in human history is a testament to queerphobia and transmisogyny.

Ally is not something you can self-identify as, it's a title that you earn.

Hope you'll enjoy the upcoming Pride month content! This year, I'm planning to post comics every single day until the end of June. If you caught a glimpse at comment sections under recent strips, it has already pissed off thousands! Not on Bluesky thankfully.

A few months ago, I posted this comic about the new Canadian policy that allows citizenship by descent. It went viral, and then gradually, I started to get dozens of messages like this trickling in : people are getting new citizenships. People are moving countries and changing their lives.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

I want there to be a conspiracy in the WH correspondents' dinner attack.

4 frame comic, where all frames are zooms on a picture of the White house correspondents dinner attack, where everyone is scrambling on the floor between chairs and tables. text reads, across all four panels :
I want there to be a conspiracy in the WH correspondents' dinner attack.
I want someone to tell me :
"yes, the president wilfully
let an armed man without a
clear plan get close to the
event floor in order to get
his ballroom vanity project
back on track. he's behind
all of it.
I want this scheming,
scamming, grifting adminis-
tration's hubris to be behind a
clever plot to trick us all,
because simply getting a new
reason to despise them is so
much easier than facing
the truth...
there is no plan. it's pure
chaos, and their every action
is dictated by how much they
can profit from the situation,
no matter the cost for the
rest of the planet. and that's
more frightening than any
conspiracy theory.
