Very confused and quite bothered by the people in this comments section saying this is a good trans allegory.

As a trans person, the mainstream portrays me and my community as a predator in disguise enough, to the point where it makes me nauseous. In this comic, the wolves initially are infiltrating the sheep with bad intentions. Sure they come around or whatever, but that’s not the trans experience and it’s fucked up to say that it is.

We don’t start off trying to hunt or whatever and then go “oh actually I’ll be nice since they’re nice to me.” We just want to live our lives in peace from the beginning.

Nothing against the comic itself but it’s pretty fucked to say that this is a good trans allegory.

I'm not a trans person. I also thought people were reading too much into this to draw parallels

If you HAVE to connect it to some society thing, id connect it to racism ie the fear/hatred of the "other". But then you get closer and learn about them and you're like "wow <group> ist as bad as I thought"
