Watch Jackie’s story. It’s touching! There’s more than a few uncanny similarities between Jackie and Danny. (Check out Jackie’s Grandpa. He’s the spitting image of Danny’s Dad!)

One of my goals with “The Boy in Pink Earmuffs” is to add my voice to these kinds of stories, to shine a light on them, and to humanize them. They’re real stories and they happen all the time. BiPE is, after all, based loosely on some of my own experiences growing up as a queer kid.

Recently, I also discovered the adorable webcomic “The Princess” by Christine Smith. It’s about the adventures of a young transgendered girl. Click the image below to check it out!
