Why I Use Horror in My Transgender Comics

The image above is gross. It's a lot like what a real vaginoplasty looks like. I'll be using it in small form in an upcoming Red Factory comic.

I apologize in advance for some of the things I do. I use a lot of horror in my comics... But, I do them this way because real transformation is not clean. It is blood. It is surrender. It is a one-way door. Because transition is horror.

This image is not fantasy. It is not meant to eroticize suffering or shock for spectacle. This is reality filtered through the honest lens of horror, because horror, more than any other genre, has the courage to show what transition feels like: invasive, irreversible, intimate.

Horror lets me speak the unspeakable truth: that becoming a woman in this world, from the wrong starting point, is not beautiful. It is terrifying. It is ecstatic. It is lonely and overwhelming and full of blood and longing.

I use horror because it lets me show the sublime cost of becoming real. Because behind every trans girl you see is a story that is never told. The scalpel is both villain and savior.

In my comics, horror is the only language sharp enough to carve a vagina where there was none. To show you that becoming a woman — really becoming one — can mean dying as a man. And waking up, still alive, in a body that screams because of the pain it had to endure to become what it is.

I believe others — cis, trans, questioning — need to feel this horror too. Not to punish, but to prepare. To walk into the place you fear the most and see that it’s survivable. That fear doesn’t mean you’re wrong — it means you’re awake. My comics are an invitation to sit with that fear, to let it scream and sob and laugh and maybe even cum.

Until it stops being horror.
