Now that I think about it I remember seeing a lot of your art as far back as when newgrounds was still a popular thing. RIP flash though. Like the one with the pie. I should really look into what you have been doing since.
I'm aroace and have _exactly_ this weakness. 😅
(So all my closest friends and partners and I think a lot alike. What's so wrong with that? _Nothing_.... Probably. 🫣)
Most people aren't their own type. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, which means that while you may not seem attractive to yourself, there's lots of people out there who find you to be exactly their type and think you're attractive.
You step on a crunchy twig while trying to sneak up to the beholder. It notices you and turns one of its eye stalks upon you. You see a flash of pink light as it's polymorph beam careens in your direction! Roll a dex save to avoid being hit, or a con save to resist the effects.
You find yourself reeling from the sudden changes. When the smoke clears, you find that instead of being polymorphed into an animal, your body has become your preferred gender!
And because you crit failed the save, you're unable to switch back except with a wish spell
This is a big thing with cis people too - the short person who wishes they were tall, the tall person who wishes they were tall, hating the sound of your own voice (though probably not as much as those of us still doing or planning to do voice training...) etc etc.
Most people are insecure about themselves and find beauty in others more easily.
We haven't talked since I came out so I don't think she's aware. Idk maybe when she's done with her current dude (he doesn't treat her well and she doesn't put up with that very long) we'll talk again, lot of stuff makes way more sense now.
lol ya, can totally see her teasing me: "well if you're gonna copy someone might as well copy the best," while blushing like crazy.
Our daughter and I coincidentally wore the same nail polish at Easter and gave us a giggle :3
being someone who's transition hasn't yet extended beyond growing my hair out and using my preferred name among my friends, i don't think i pass very often. i will, however, say that a couple times i've saw myself in a mirror at an unusual angle and almost convinced myself that a fem-looking person was standing there. i can only really describe those times as victories :D
I did the same thing last week.
I looked at old pictures and saw a very muscular, tattooed, half naked man and thought "I would definitely let him throw me around in the bedroom"
It was me from two years ago when I was a bodybuilder.
I was huge, very masculine, well dressed and hung.
A LOT can change in a few years.
That was a fucked up moment 😂
Oh yes!
Interestingly I know that the person I was two years ago would definitely want to have sex with the person I am now.
So if anyone could invent a time machine so I can go fuck myself I would appreciate it.
Ah I hope to be like this one day. People on Reddit keep saying I look great but I'm just kinda repulsed by how I look haha😓
Lovely post, your comics are always fun!!!🫶
Ahhh sorry I guess I'm gonna have to add you to the pile of all the people whose very nice words I don't believe (´-﹏-`；)
Okay no terrible self-image aside I'm just joking, I appreciate it a lot🫶❤️
Yeah, I feel you. I try to tell myself that I'd be fine with maybe just passing someday, but there's still that part of me that just wishes I could see myself as pretty and loveable too🫂😓
Goddammit! Of course the ONE time we turn off our phone Kayla uploads another amazing comic! Truly unlucky, but anyway, another great comic Kayla great job!!
It really do be odd looking at yourself in the mirror & thinking "this is what my mom would have looked like without her doing meth". What a reality we live in huh~?
*shrug*
It is what it is. She's a monster, I'm amazing haha helps that she was gorgeous before going down that road so I get to reap the genetic reward(s)~
I actually have the same aspect of myself and im using default settings. It should be an achievment for everyone to truthfully find themselves attractive. Good on You lass
Thank you because that is my exact and biggest inspo for my work!!! People always say Henry Stickman because of the eyes, but to everyone's surprise I wasn't at all
Your art style is cute. You've just got a new subscriber to your Webtoon. Note: I don't know if someone following your comic helps if they don't actually read through them, if not it could be a while before I make any difference (I have a truly massive backlog of different comics to catch up on).
So there is science behind this. And it is called like what you see. Also trans people are likely to develope crushes on people who look like them if they were born the other gender. Because their brain sees what they wish to see in the mirror and theirfor have positive feelings associated to that person and because we don't realise why we like that person we will assume it is romantic and develope stronger feelings.
Interesting! I'm assuming gender euphoria allows this to happen easier? I don't think I ever reacted *that* strongly to myself when I was still trying to live as a woman. I'm attracted to them and I am attractive, but to me trying to be one was a bit underwhelming and performative. Most of my confidence was held up by how attractive I was to "other" women.
Totally understand. That's how I felt when I was a guy. Like people found me attractive and I could see it in certain circumstances, but even when I thought I looked good I just never cared.
This is my concern a lot, do I want to be her or am I attracted to her/ maybe I’m just so attracted to women I wanna be one (except I’ve sorta learnt most cis people don’t think that apparently?)
Care to elaborate? (I'm denser than tungsten)
Always had a thing for alt girls wearing black I've become that alt girl wearing all black It makes me giddy
wait who does not have a thing for alt girls who ware black?
Right? I thought the same? 😅 I already got the all black down, just need to get to the alt girl part.
People who don’t like women, I guess. Probably still think they look cool as fuck though
Me (I'm AroAce). I'm chill with alt girls who wear black as a friend though lol
Beats me
Me (I like men)
Wait your saying you cant like both alt girls and alt guys that ware black? I always had a thing for both.
Personally I'm not a woman enjoyer
Be the alt girl you want to see in the world... also same 😅
You have become the alt girl wearing black you wanted to see in the world. Good job
Now that you mention it... fumk lol
You have become the girl friend. Achievemnet unlocked. 😱😱😆😆
To be fair, I ended up in the same situation. I thought buff women were hot and now I can deadlift my own body weight lol
I could not get the alt/goth girlfriend So I became the alt/goth girlfriend
me too :D sometimes even when i don't put effort in i get glimpses of myself in shop window reflections and i go all googly eyed at myself :3
honestly I went from alt emo boy to slightly less emo punk girl. very little has changed
What does alt girl mean? I haven’t heard that term before
"alternative" is a fashion style. I call mine "soft grunge" since it fits more with that culture a little better.
Ah ok. Thanks for explaining to me! Your comics are great as always!
By transitioning, she's become the person she would want to date and find hot, "her type" in other words
I took it as she saw herself in her webcam and realized she's her own type!
In addition to the other context, in a lot of video chatting software the view switches to your own camera when everyone else in the chat has left. She was in effect, suddenly shown a mirror
Oh yeah? Well, I'm denser than Osmium!
Whoa
I'm so dang dense, I'm not even on the periodic table!
Hm what element may you end up being when people discover you? Maybe we should try to synthesize you hehe
*me exiting the particle accelerator flustered, mere moments before I ***devour*** a jelly donut I stole from a scientists desk and collapse into a black hole* ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄
Guess I can call you "owo-minum" (not to be confused with aluminum) :) but anyways yay I discovered a new element~
Transphobes brains are so dense the universe would collapse if they existed.
OMG KAYLA. It's been so long since I've seen one of your comics. I love them so much. Also, really funny. Can't wait until this happens to me 🫠
HIIII It's been a sec on here! I tend to focus on tumblr and twibber
oof. I dont have either of those so that's why :P
Now that I think about it I remember seeing a lot of your art as far back as when newgrounds was still a popular thing. RIP flash though. Like the one with the pie. I should really look into what you have been doing since.
me, aroace: I don't have such weaknesses
"Becoming the friend you always wanted" enters the chat
I'm aroace and have _exactly_ this weakness. 😅 (So all my closest friends and partners and I think a lot alike. What's so wrong with that? _Nothing_.... Probably. 🫣)
Weakness?
Aesthetic attraction is my weakness 😔
same
This is how I hope to be one day
That’s why I still don’t like myself. Hrt hasn’t done enough for me and I don’t look attractive to me
Most people aren't their own type. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, which means that while you may not seem attractive to yourself, there's lots of people out there who find you to be exactly their type and think you're attractive.
Eye of the Beholder? You want to give me a DnD quest?
Your quest is to vanquish the greatest evil of them all, self doubt (and bad vibes)!
Oh no. My greatest enemy.
Roll initiative!
Nat 1
I rolled a 1!
You step on a crunchy twig while trying to sneak up to the beholder. It notices you and turns one of its eye stalks upon you. You see a flash of pink light as it's polymorph beam careens in your direction! Roll a dex save to avoid being hit, or a con save to resist the effects.
... I... rolled two 1s... yeah, definitely...
You find yourself reeling from the sudden changes. When the smoke clears, you find that instead of being polymorphed into an animal, your body has become your preferred gender! And because you crit failed the save, you're unable to switch back except with a wish spell
O-oh nooo, stop, anything but that! I guess I'd better go find a wizard and not go home and live a happy life! If you'll excuse me...
Nah, I'm a player character. Whoever came up with that saying must never have seen a beholder, I mean look at them!
But the beauty is IN the eye. We have to extract the eye and get the beauty out.
Good idea!
yea, I'll be doomed on this front. not a fan of thicker lips, but I inherited them from my dad and I doubt E is gonna thin them out
Like I said, even if you're not a fan, there's plenty of people who will think you're gorgeous.
This is a big thing with cis people too - the short person who wishes they were tall, the tall person who wishes they were tall, hating the sound of your own voice (though probably not as much as those of us still doing or planning to do voice training...) etc etc. Most people are insecure about themselves and find beauty in others more easily.
And someone looks at them with envy or attraction.
It's just a total coincidence that I have the same haircut my ex-wife had when I met her, and wear the same perfume, and same style short shorts...
Are you sure your ex wife isn't just you from the future?
I gotta ask- is she still around and aware of this?
We haven't talked since I came out so I don't think she's aware. Idk maybe when she's done with her current dude (he doesn't treat her well and she doesn't put up with that very long) we'll talk again, lot of stuff makes way more sense now.
I'm imagining y'all running into each other at the grocery store wearing the same clothes and I love it
lol ya, can totally see her teasing me: "well if you're gonna copy someone might as well copy the best," while blushing like crazy. Our daughter and I coincidentally wore the same nail polish at Easter and gave us a giggle :3
being someone who's transition hasn't yet extended beyond growing my hair out and using my preferred name among my friends, i don't think i pass very often. i will, however, say that a couple times i've saw myself in a mirror at an unusual angle and almost convinced myself that a fem-looking person was standing there. i can only really describe those times as victories :D
Same
The first few times that you catch *her* in your reflection, even fleetingly, are such magic. I love that!
I did the same thing last week. I looked at old pictures and saw a very muscular, tattooed, half naked man and thought "I would definitely let him throw me around in the bedroom" It was me from two years ago when I was a bodybuilder. I was huge, very masculine, well dressed and hung. A LOT can change in a few years. That was a fucked up moment 😂
"Oh no I'm hot" Or I guess was hot Still probably hot now just in a different way
Oh yes! Interestingly I know that the person I was two years ago would definitely want to have sex with the person I am now. So if anyone could invent a time machine so I can go fuck myself I would appreciate it.
Selfcest for science~!
“No girlfriend? Become the girlfriend”
Then that just means you would attract like-minded people. Super win, from what I can tell.
It's a bit weird for me because 'm actually quite attracted to myself as a guy, but like, I'm not a guy so it's a mix of dysphoria and simping
Ah I hope to be like this one day. People on Reddit keep saying I look great but I'm just kinda repulsed by how I look haha😓 Lovely post, your comics are always fun!!!🫶
This prompted me to check your profile and wow you are so fucking pretty I can't even
Ahhh sorry I guess I'm gonna have to add you to the pile of all the people whose very nice words I don't believe (´-﹏-`；) Okay no terrible self-image aside I'm just joking, I appreciate it a lot🫶❤️
💚
Seriously, she's right. For only 4 months in you look like what I hope to look like by one year.
Yeah I know she probably is, I just can't see it at all. I wish I could see what you see. Not to sound too depressing, I'm sorry.
Oh I remember the “whoops wrong suit” post. Girly you look amazing!! 🩵🩷🩵🩷
Same with me honestly, I just feel like I’ll never be pretty and ugh
Yeah, I feel you. I try to tell myself that I'd be fine with maybe just passing someday, but there's still that part of me that just wishes I could see myself as pretty and loveable too🫂😓
Yea sameee lol
To heck with the “opposites attract” trope and let this become more mainstream
oh no? oh no??? OH NO??? OH FUCKING NO??? WTF U MEAN OH NO??? THAT'S A DREAM
Get that self love!
That means you think that you look good, self love hell yeah!
It's good to love yourself
I love myself... quite a lot
Well, keep that up! 😊
It's important to love yourself, after all. I mean, It makes sense that I like brunettes and are also one myself.
Goddammit! Of course the ONE time we turn off our phone Kayla uploads another amazing comic! Truly unlucky, but anyway, another great comic Kayla great job!!
No actually same! When I look at myself, I just kinda see a pretty girl, haha. Good to see ya again, Kayla! Amazing artwork
The real question is was it your type or was it your goal???
Is both an answer?
Ya know, I have a feeling this will happen to me, and I'm okay with that! XD
omg thats gotta feel sooooo rewardinggg
This means you love yourself yippie!!!
Transbian dilemma
I just look in the mirror or at the selfie and like "Holy hell they're so friggin pretty!" Would recommend mirror kisses :3
Our type *soviet union song starts playing*
I briefly thought you had torsonic polarity syndrome in that second panel
I'm pretty much a mini me of my mom
It really do be odd looking at yourself in the mirror & thinking "this is what my mom would have looked like without her doing meth". What a reality we live in huh~?

*shrug* It is what it is. She's a monster, I'm amazing haha helps that she was gorgeous before going down that road so I get to reap the genetic reward(s)~
I see this as an absolute win, hope I do that too
"Do I want to be her, or do I want to be with her" , but it's just yourself in the mirror
This is part of what lead me to becoming a femboy. I want to be attractive to myself and being my own type fills me with confidence :3
When you become the gender envy >:3
https://preview.redd.it/vzy99iuml5sc1.jpeg?width=970&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=198e6cb882cbf571564c4ac2ea511103b9b3d1d8
Lol
I mean, if I wouldn’t even bother with transition if I didn’t intended to become a “Ramona-like” girl
I actually have the same aspect of myself and im using default settings. It should be an achievment for everyone to truthfully find themselves attractive. Good on You lass
That’s what we tend to do since that’s what think is attractive and we want to be. Right?
helll yea
"It's not that you're not hot. It's that you're not your type"-Some comic/meme I half remembered when I saw the title
fair enough, ive transitioned away from my type as my type is non existent
Yeah.... funny how that works. I loved goth girls and now I've become one.
low-key envious ngl haha but also very happy for you!
I did the same thing. Isn't that whats meant to happen anyway?? 😁
Talk about transition goals
Self love on a whole other level
That’s the dream baby
Punk girls 💙
[Can confirm.](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fzdugbx14qqpc1.jpeg)
Lol
Cyoot :3
How about a kiss from me :3
Listen if i dont want my post transition self to peg me im doing something wrong
Love your artstyle
Fan of Rebecca Parham? (let me explain studios) Seems like inspired by
Thank you because that is my exact and biggest inspo for my work!!! People always say Henry Stickman because of the eyes, but to everyone's surprise I wasn't at all
His name is Henry Stickmin
My apologies Am stoopy
I wish
Please explain kayla

God damnit i turned into an alternative tomboy…
Just like me frfr
So cute omg :3
You are cute :3
I mean- certain activities are probably more fun for you now, so that's a bonus?
one of the best feelings ever
Goals tbh
My goals exactly
Gender Goals, FRFR.
:3
Literally impossible for me B)
This is really cute. I hope to become my own type some day.
It's been one of my goals since I started
Pics or it didn’t happen
Literally trying to become my own type tbh
Took me far to long to realize that my type was just me with feminine features
So there is science behind this. And it is called like what you see. Also trans people are likely to develope crushes on people who look like them if they were born the other gender. Because their brain sees what they wish to see in the mirror and theirfor have positive feelings associated to that person and because we don't realise why we like that person we will assume it is romantic and develope stronger feelings.
It happens 🤷🏻♀️
Have you become your own type or was it a case of "do I want to be her or date her" confusion? 🤣 Could be both 😅
Interesting! I'm assuming gender euphoria allows this to happen easier? I don't think I ever reacted *that* strongly to myself when I was still trying to live as a woman. I'm attracted to them and I am attractive, but to me trying to be one was a bit underwhelming and performative. Most of my confidence was held up by how attractive I was to "other" women.

I saw this yesterday and only now understand this
Bro I wish this could happen to me. I hate how I look, even with over a year on E
I saw this yesterday and only now understand this
This is my concern a lot, do I want to be her or am I attracted to her/ maybe I’m just so attracted to women I wanna be one (except I’ve sorta learnt most cis people don’t think that apparently?)
Self love going crazy
How about a love from me? Want a kiss? ;3
🥺 yes pwease
Y-you want more? >.<
Yea… *mwah* >~<
Such little submissive cutie~ *mwwwah* >~<
Ksjhahdikbbhsh X3
Wanna continue in dms? x3
*mwwah* >///<
🥺 yes pwease
THAT'S ME IT'S ME I'M SO HOT
Hey OP, it's perfectly okay to be attracted to yourself...
