It is so difficult to compile an anthology where every piece resonates and is visually stunning, but this one gets incredibly close. I thoroughly enjoyed almost all of the comics.

Really sweet inspiring read!!  I'm glad so many wonderful artists got to share their stories and it was nice to see work from older trans folks in comics 🥺💖

Gotta give it up to this book—it helped me mentally work through some gender stuff. Could I be non-binary? It’s more likely than you think!

Gender is nothing, ya know? It’s a myth created by humans to force us all into boxes and labels. Do you think female dolphins are aware of their gender? Doubt it. Dolphins are more evolved than us.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kai Studios for an Arc in exchange for an honest review of this comic collection.

The Out Side: Trans & Nonbinary Comics was a really nice short comic collection by various trans and nonbinary creators. As a trans nonbinary person myself I always enjoy reading about other trans people’s experiences. The breath of different experiences was wonderful to read and I enjoyed seeing all of them. Reading about the life experiences of these creators both similar and different to my own journey was a joy. Similarly, I really loved seeing all the different art styles and really appreciated that you were given ways to find more of their art on other platforms. My only negative was that I wish the comics were a bit longer and more in depth. However, this is no huge problem as I am easily able to find more of their other work due to the links in each creators bio. I am really happy I read this and I hope to read a lot more comics about trans people’s journeys in the near future.

Thanks to NetGalley, I had the opportunity to read an E-Arc of this book, and I LOVED it. Seeing and reading about  so many trans, especially non-binary people (I am enby), just felt amazing. 
I just think, it would have been great seeing more trans women
