In Transition
A downloadable comic
In Transition is an all-ages autobiographical comic about Lee Onysko's transition - especially focused on top surgery. This 70+ page comic celebrates the joys of being trans and becoming who you want to be: from coming out, to dealing with drainage tubes, to changing your name. While it's primarily about their own journey, they share insights into transitioning that could be helpful to people looking to get top surgery, to the potential caretakers of someone recovering from top surgery, or to whoever wants to understand more about the process.
“This is an entertaining, informative story about transition, and also a heartwarming peek into what it’s like to have strong allies. I absolutely love it.”
-MariNaomi, author and illustrator of I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME
“A delightful and honest personal account brimming with euphoria. I’d recommend this to anyone considering or going through top surgery!”
-Isabella Rotman, Wait, What?: A Comic Book Guide to Relationships, Bodies, and Growing Up
