"Something big happened in Lumberjanes Issue #17 today. Jo, one of the central characters — a girl of color with two dads, a girl who's a kid genius, April's bff, a deeply loyal but also sometimes insecure friend and an expert on what it means to be a Lumberjane — talked about how she's also a trans girl. Let me say that again: one of the five main characters of a best-selling all-ages comic book that sold over 65,000 copies of its first trade in two months talked to one of her friends about being transgender on the page of the latest issue."
