Inspirational, Spiritual Growth

This book is a follow up to “Trans in the time of trump” as the
cruelty and fascism of our new country only increased. The problems with my
doodles are that prior to transition they kept me alive. However now that they
have become my voice of activism their fuel is cruelty, and there is
absolutely no shortage of material with this administration.
Where once Doodle was just a joy for me now we’d all be better off if I
had nothing to draw.
I am a trans special education teacher and 10 years ago I started cartooning
books for kids and parents that were in trouble. I did 8 books for kids that
were picked on or disliked, and then my country went away.
In the face of treatment of trans people, brown people, and the growing abuse
of all minorities I had to change Doodle from a comforting friend to a mirror
I could hold up to rednecks.
She is my activism. A far cry from my mother’s activism in the 60s, but
it is what I can add to the fight.
