Content Warnings

Graphic: Transphobia and Homophobia

Moderate: Suicide attempt and Racism

Contains a couple of homophobic slurs, including the f slur, used by one of the interviewees (Ignacio). It makes it clear with a note at the bottom of the page when the content about a suicide attempt is, so you can skip that if needed. Check the full content warnings on the first page.

This is nuance and diligence and curiosity. "Fine" gave space to the questions and thoughts I've resented in my own head and gave access to a conversation. Thank you thank you thank you Rhea for making this conversation public and for adding yourself in too. We may not have answers, but we we do have connection 💓

I found it a bit hard to get into this book, just because I myself had so many similar experiences that for large chunks of the book, I didn’t feel that I was learning anything. Once I got into it, though, I was able to get through it. Very nice, a bit denser of a read than I was expecting for a graphic novel, but it was nice.

I really enjoyed this comic! It was really cool to read so many different perspectives and I appreciated the author's own experiences and self-reflection included throughout. It felt like the book was written with a lot of care.

A lot of Ewing's framing definitely fell more on the liberal side, but overall this was an incredible project and I will look out for what they publish in the future.
