Hi everyone,
My webcomic about a transgender girl’s page, Assigned Male Comics, is currently down because it got hacked during the night, along with my personal page and the french version of the comic. After receiving several thousands of death threats in the past few days for making my art, my address was also posted on several forums. I am currently in a safe place and my roommate and I will move away before the end of the week.
Today. May 17th. International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. I just want people to be aware that this is what you get for being trans on the internet and for reframing transness into something positive and empowering. I’d also like to acknowledge that this attack was mostly planned because of four explicit reasons :
1. I am a woman
2. I am trans
3. I support non-binary people
4. I support intersex people.
I will keep making my comics, no worries. Folks at Facebook are currently making sure this won’t happen again before I can put my page back up. Nothing was lost.
I know many of my readers will be worried. This is my personal profile, also if you can share this as widely as possible so it reaches them, it would be greatly appreciated.
You can still read my comics on tumblr : http://assignedmale.tumblr.com
or on paper : http://assignedmale.etsy.com
and support my work on Patreon : www.patreon.com/assignedmale
I also set up a Paypal donation email if you want to help with the relocating : sophie@assignedmale.com
Thanks everyone for your support. ❤

Trump’s ONLY GOALS AS PRESIDENT –
1) Make a lot of money for himself, his family and his rich supporters – and use the presidency to get business deals for him and his sons around the world
2) Use the DOJ to go after literally anyone he feels slighted him, criticized him or “injured” him, while also covering up and erasing his past misdeeds (Epstein) and erasing the history of January 6
3) Slap his name and likeness on everything he can – cash, coins, buildings, airports, highways, and get royalties for the use of his name
4) Strengthen his ties to Vladimir Putin and other dictators and oligarchs to get as much power as much as he can
5) Going down as one of the great men of history, like Alexander the Great or Napoleon
Trump DOESN’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT –
1) The basic job of a president
2) The economic well being of Americans
3) The functions of government to serve the people
4) America’s relationship with allies or reputation around the world
5) The United States if it doesn’t relate to him or his needs























































I’m so sorry, Scottie; I haven’t gotten comics read all week, but here it is in the same week it went up, anyway! Apologies also to any other reader who missed this so far this week. I’ll try to do better!


Before Donald Trump posted the ridiculous AI image of him as Jesus healing the sick, he attacked Pope Leo in a lengthy tirade on Truth Social.
Trump wrote, “Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about ‘fear’ of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA.” (snip-MORE)
I’m not religious so the fact that Trump posted an image showing himself as Jesus doesn’t personally insult me. But some of the criticism have described his actions as blasphemous, which I think is dangerous territory for a secular society. There are countries which have blasphemy laws that have led to horrendous murders, just because someone’s religious sensibilities have been offended. It has no place in a democracy. What Americans ought to be outraged about was the gaslighting response Trump gave to a reporter when asked about the image. Either he was lying through his teeth or his dementia is further along than I thought.
Here’s an cartoon from 2020 when Trump pandered to Christian voters by demanding governors open houses of worship during the Covid pandemic shutdown.



Yesterday, after posting a tirade against the Pope on Truth Social, Donald Trump shared an AI-created image of himself as Jesus Christ. A lot of people didn’t take kindly to this, probably because Donald Trump posted a picture of himself as Jesus Christ.
As The New York Times describes it, “The image had showed Mr. Trump (sic) dressed in white and red robes, with the president’s hands emitting shining lights. His right hand was touching the forehead of a man lying on a bed in a hospital gown, evoking religious art that depicts Jesus healing the sick.” (snip-MORE)
But I love this one, and want you all to have it, too!
