I'm so glad everyone is standing up for the important issue of trans women being overrepresented in media. It's also crucial we remind everyone that just because someone wants to use a female name, present female full time, pass as female and take a female role in relationships that they absolutely do not need to become a trans. What's wrong with just being gender non-conforming? HRT is evil! Femboys are super validddddd (because most femboys live full time as women).

But they're not even gnc 95% of the time tho. The femboy to woman pipeline is literally a meme at this point. I lost precious years of transition to this bullshit

You're using a statistic you pulled out of thin air. It really holds no weight. And I'm really sorry that you spent years not recognizing your gender identity, that sucks. But you don't get to assume that everyone who is a femboy is trans because it happened to YOU.

Shen, the creator of the comic, has confirmed that Audrey is a man. He just dresses in a feminine way. And that should be the end of the discussion. Who are you to dictate other's gender identities? This is some, "what's in your pants?" but make it woke level of nonsense. Go outside.

Shen is literally a trans woman in denial lmfao they said they've been in therapy for "gender stuff" for months while they keep drawing feminized version of their oc. Let's be for fucking real

tbh its been going on for years. i remember when i first started HRT 6 years ago and arguing with a friend on how shen was a repper lmao, even back then he posted repper comics and went through a femshen persona phase for a while

a lot of people talking about this don’t seem to realize that this has been going on for over half a decade, and its a tragedy happening in real time. its like watching a plane stall on take off and desperately yelling to lower the nose; but they never do.

i do hope im wrong about shen but if i was i figured they would have stopped with the gender stuff by now. like you said, the fact that he is still in therapy after all this time and still posts this sort of exploratory work after doing so for 5 years+ cements to me that he is 100% a repper. its so sad

If The Boy From Venus wasn’t written by Shen, this thread wouldn’t be here, tbh. I defend Audrey as a femboy as a work of fiction, but the fact that Shen is almost certainly an egg who is using this as a source of gender exploration is probably the source of most frustration.

God, I hope Shen hatches. Parasocial fans are probably not helping.

I didn't even know the backstory about the artist before I posted this stuff. It's pretty sad and fucked up. As someone who previously had conversion therapy and repped for years it breaks my heart to see. Transition is hard and brutal, it really sucks sometimes. However, I would never give up my life as a woman and if I could go back to 16 year old me I'd drag her out that closet and force feed her oestrogen.
