Out of curiosity, in the New 52 canon, which characters are LGBTQ?
Wow. Uh, Starling is bi, Bunker is gay…after that, I’m not truly positive. Hmm. I know I’m drawing a blank, and I have some lgbtq characters coming up. Man, that is a small group so far…
EDIT: Whew, a bunch of people with clearer heads than mine right now (I was up all night writing, remembered a bunch more…how could I forget KATE of all people?).
I have searched for your Brutal Tips and can't find it. Do you have a link? I find any resource helpful (ya know, aside from actually writing). While I'm not writing comics, I write more novel length stories, but I would like to have the resource close

To the best of what I've seen and heard, "female" is considered an appropriate way to refer to trans*men as well as ciswomen. Because it's sex, not gender. It's words like "women" "woman" and "lady" to refer to the sex and not the gender that are considere
That last bit is true, but my saying simply ‘anti-female’ does unnecessarily exclude people still potentially affected by Akin’s horseshit. I think the poster was perfectly fair.
Edited to say that the people adding comments to this post just reinforce what the poster said. I should have used more inclusive language. My mistake, no excuses.

Hello Ms. Simone! If its not too much trouble, I have a character question to ask: Does Kho Kharhi still exist in the Reboot? I've been checking all the wikis that might have info on her, but I can't find anything, which makes me sad because I loved her a
Boy, I hope so. I have talked with Tony Bedard and he said he’s going to try to get her in soon!
She’s one of my favorite characters I’ve ever created, thank you for showing her the love!

Pals: Let’s quiz Congress on sex, gender, and reproductive health.
Here’s the idea: As the project of Our Bodies, Ourselves underscores, there are no greater experts on bodies than their owners: there should be no louder policy advocates than the bodies being legislated. Our latest Truthout strip asks readers to submit questions for a Congressional Pop Quiz on the workings of your body. We’d like you—the cartoonists, the ladydrawers, the gender-aware media makers—to submit illustrated questions. You can use the questions from the Truthout comments section, generate queries among your own communities, or just straight-up ask Akin to identify the different between your vag and, say, a praying mantis. Which, actually, is pretty damn good at shutting “that whole thing down.” We’d like questions on sex and reproductive health, of course, but questions about gender seem appropriate too. Marriage, partner benefits—it seems a little bit endless, what we must ensure congress knows before further legislation is enacted. Anything. Be creative. Be funny. Be accurate. Use evidence-based resources, and cite them, so interested parties (R, D) can read more.
Most important: submit them to us via email at TheLadydrawers@gmail.com or on this Tumblr by October 1. We’ll publish everything we receive here and on our Tumblr that fits the above guidelines (so include your website in your submission for proper credit), and choose the very best ones to print or publish in a quiz we’ll send directly to congress. (We might even have a way to pay you.)
Can’t draw? Submit your text question on Truthout’s comment section, work with a friend who does like to draw, or do it anyway. You’re the expert: on your body, and how it should be legislated.
This is a very worthy and scathing idea. Please give this a look if you, like me, hate the anti-science, anti-female stance of many of today’s biology-illiterate congresspeople.

Poor Insignificus. All he really wanted was love and understanding.
And to be someone’s footstool.

…I write creepy stuff. I like it. It suits me.
But I’ve never really written the Joker.
I’ve actually been having nightmares about him since we started doing this Death of a Family story.
