THE BOY WHO LOVED MAGNIFICENT WOMAN IS A STORY VERY DEAR TO MY HEART. IT IS A STORY ABOUT BEING DIFFERENT FROM WHAT SOCIETY EXPECTS YOU TO BE AND THE EXTREMES THOSE EXPECTATIONS SOMETIMES LEAD TO. This story has been with me in various forms over the past few years. This is my favorite incarnation and seemed an appropriate time to share given the attention bullying has been given by the media recently.
I encouraged Christine Smith a little while back to press on with her ideas for a little comic strip about a transgender child, because I could see at that time that its time had come and it was sorely needed. Now, http://www.drunkduck.com/The_Princess/ inspires trans children and parents alike. If you're feeling inspired and creative enough to make this intro a dream sequence after being horribly beaten, you could make Mickey's story an ongoing series. The time has come. This story is needed. Inspire.
Love it!
