8 minutes after I put some handwarmers up for sale, someone only went and bought them. What a ledge!
As promised, here’s a mini-comic of what I’m going to spend the money on.
Inspired by this letter to Dan Savage, his response, and the comments thereafter.

In other news, I like the new acronym, GSM for Gender and Sexuality Minority. The old one, LGBTQQIAKLKDFGNAL was getting a little bit unwieldy, amirite?
ETA: Here it is in French.
Inspired by Sven saying he liked the Double Standards series, and Mattie saying they wanted a comic about boobs.
No one has asked me this, because we’re all very British here. Mostly people just double-take, or assume one and then switch to the other.
Have you been asked this? What’s your answer of choice?
I wrote this bit on getting your name changed in the UK for free.
Inspired by a conversation I had with the lovely and thoughtful and awesomely musical Molly Z, who just liberated her hair for a good cause. You should totally ask her to come and play for you and give her some money and some tasty grub.
This comic is also dedicated to UK company Graze.com, and I’ll tell you for why. When I emailed them about their customer information form, which requires you to tick either the “male” or “female” box with no other options, they were SO awesome. I explained about trans* people and the label “genderqueer.” Within 24 hours, a representative emailed me back saying she’s spoken to the tech team and they’d said they don’t even store or use the gender information, and they’d take out the gender question altogether. And then they did.
Bless their hearts. They have my customer loyalty, right there.
The strange thing is, it shouldn’t be that big of a deal, but it’s so rare for people to listen to us like that.
Edited to add: If you join Graze.com, you can use this code to get a free box of nomz! XCZ88ZV (Full disclosure: I get £1 off a box if you sign up.)
THIS COMIC IS INSPIRED BY FEMINIST HULK, WHOM I LOVE.
