Detrans voices are growing and LGB Alliance is the future. Wake up!

[@starfosh]

I read this webcomic recently and although I don’t go through the struggles of a young gay teenage boy, I still really related to it so much. This is great because the story highlights a lot of general awkward teen experiences. From the beginning I enjoyed how painfully accurate and relatable this story is. I’d experienced hopelessly falling in love in a secondary school as a teen, the struggle of GCSEs, OCD and eating disorders, family issues, being able to care for someone and have them care for you. I felt like I was living through all of it again and seeing so many recognisable experiences made me sob. I read everything in one sitting and by the end of it I had a splitting headache from crying so much. Normally I don’t cry or show much emotion to media, so this moved me a lot. The art was beautiful, the storytelling and dialogue was perfect, everything was extremely accurate. You are one of the most talented artists and writers I’ve ever seen. Thank you, Alice. I will never forget this webcomic.

Alice, I was introduced to your wonderfully touching "Heartstopper" Netflix series recently and found myself very taken with your writing and characters. I am the writer, director and producer of the KZbin feature and short film series "More Than Only". I was thrilled to find you had a page here on KZbin and truly enjoyed learning about your journey with your novels. I was so blown away at how our writing styles are so similar in some ways and simply had to discover a little more about the author. Congratulations to you! Michelle Leigh
