For the third year in a row, we're trying to gather art commemorating the Transgender Day of Remembrance. It's open to anyone, not just webcomic artists. If you're interested, read on.
This year's theme
Each creator should draw their transgendered character as a child (most likely as their birth sex), anywhere from infant age to around five or six; your choice. The picture should be innocent and child-like, and include the caption or title "Every (x) is someone's child," where (x) is replaced with the slur of your choice (prime candidates include 'freak', 'weirdo', 'faggot', 'sissy', 'outcast', and so on; we'd like for each comic to have their own). An additional line, mentioning how many transgendered people were killed in 2006 would finish the comic. As in all the other years, this year's theme is optional, and if you have another idea you'd like to do, feel free to do it, and it will be displayed alongside the others.
