The Out Side: Trans & Nonbinary Comics

The Out Side: Trans & Nonbinary Comics is an anthology of short comics by trans and nonbinary creators depicting everyday life, family, dysphoria, joy, and self-discovery. Each piece has its own art style and tone, offering a wide range of experiences rather than a single “trans story.” Older teens and adults often find it validating to see nuanced, authentic narratives that go beyond trauma plots. Educators and parents can use select comics as conversation starters about gender, identity, and allyship. Because themes and language vary, it’s best previewed for age fit, but it’s a rich, creator-driven resource for inclusive libraries.
