This is part one of Austen's series on Transgender media: comics, movies, etc. Stay tuned for updates every Monday!

I've wanted to do a series about transgender webcomics for a long while. Much of my decision to transition was born in reading these webcomics; without them I'd have never researched transition, thought about transition, or realized that transition could make me happy. I say, what better way to pay those artists back for their hard work than to bump their work on a blog?

I couldn't go through a list of "must-read" transgender comics without mentioning the one that got me started. Enter "Closetspace." This is the comic that tipped my scales from "I can survive being a boy" to "I need to transition." Literally. A friend of mine sent me this panel when I was really struggling with the decision to transition, and the words just echoed.

The way that kid left home is exactly the way I left.  Get laid out by the pops and walk out.
