My First Cartoon Story Book

by Jay Sennett

The title page from Jay Sennett's "A Day in the Life of a Transsexual"

In May I completed my first story for the Art House Coop, the virtual extension of the Brooklyn Art Library.

We were allowed to choose a topic for our story book. I chose “Things That Change Other Things” and titled the story, “A Day in the Life of a Transsexual.”

I’m grateful for the opportunity to have written this story and to include some of my cartoons. The entire book has been scanned here.

(If this story book moves you or you think you might want to forward a link to a friend, please do so! I no longer promote my work on Twitter or Facebook and so rely on readers like you to share my work, if you feel moved to do so. Thank you in advance for your support. ~ Jay)

The FtM Thinks He Can Buy His Masculinity

by Jay Sennett

You can’t buy your way into the workingclasses. No matter how much money you spend. “But what about the $300.00 1930s inspired work shirt I just bought?” Nope. No matter how hard you work, you can’t use clothing to pretend you’re something you’re not.

And the search for real masculinities will never be found in masculinities from times past, about which we may feel nostalgic. A quick reminder: in the 1930s a significant percentage of African-Americans – and some whites, too – could not vote in the South; gays could not comfortably be out and women of all ethnicities were routinely paid less than men.
