My other comic: Scandinavia and the World
And the cake was pink
Inspired by a mix of stories different trans-boys have told me.
Nothing is more important than supportive parents. Mind you, it's probably ten times easier for Niels because he never knew Magnus as a girl, so he didn't have to mentally change his idea of Magnus from "My daughter" to "My son".

Speaking as a trans guy, this comic really hit home. I always remember all those presents and gifts over the years. So many gifts that I looked down into the package while wearing that same expression, feeling like an ass and not wanting to be ungrateful, but knowing that I couldn't wear or enjoy whatever it was. So many well meant, wasted gifts. This cartoon was both upsetting and beautiful. Thank you for creating Magnus, and thank you for this issue. I really love Niels now, even after spending this whole day offended and revolted with him for shooting 250. (I was up until 2 this morning binge-reading your comics and catching up... because I have no good sense, but I couldn't stop myself.

Here the Australian High Court today (2nd April 2014) said that if you want it is ok not to gender identify on your birth-certificate one more good move

@Nedalin it probably would, tho i don't think that's why niels bought him a binder 2 sizes bigger. More likely because he wasn't sure of the size.

Etikette Question: Would it be rude to assure him, that he will grow into it (the binder)?

I imagine Niels will ask how it fits, and Magnus would polity say it's a little big, but assure him it's okay. And then a few days later Magnus would receive one or two extra in smaller sizes, because Niels would be damned if it wasn't always perfect.
