Can anyone confirm this? This looks like shoehorning, but RealityIsUnrealistic exists for a reason.

You just used the \\\"it\\\'s not supposed to be good\\\" argument, a very weak argument to me. Unless it\\\'s something like a troma film where it is deliberately bad, it doesn\\\'t work for semi-serious work like Ms. Labelle is trying to do. You want to criticize transphobia fine, do it, that\\\'s cool but if you are doing a webcomic, do a webcomic, not a documentary. You still have to have something resembling fiction. Calvin talks like he does for the purposes of COMEDY but he is still a kid with the same attitude, desires of a kid. Stephie is a bratty know it all through and through

And characters that exist to be criticized for an argument IS A STRAWMAN. Some anvils need to be dropped but not repeatedly on the head and poorly dropped as well.

At Stephie\\\'s age I dont believe it. When he hits puberty I can see this, IE the point in life where someone judges sexuality, gender etc. Boys getting fun of for playing with girls toys is one thing, transphobia is another,

I get that transexualism and the phobias associated to it is a touchy subject and someone standing up for it is a nice idea but crap is crap. A nice cause does not equal nice product as evidenced in that horrible Doctor Who charity song or Vegan Artbook. There has to be a better webcomic about transgenderism out there. I can certainly think of a manga that deals with transexuality better (albeit dealing with transvestites more). No Bra, a flawed but still nice manga that deals with it\\\'s subject in a much better way, especially towards the end.
