Part of: My Life in Transition

See all formats and editions

My Life in Transition is a story that’s not often told about trans lives: what happens beyond the early days of transition. Both deeply personal and widely relatable, this collection illustrates six months of Julia's life as an out trans woman—about the beauty and pain of love and heartbreak, struggling to find support from bio family and the importance of chosen family, moments of dysphoria and misgendering, learning to lean on friends in times of need, and finding peace in the fact that life keeps moving forward.

After the nerve-wracking, anxiety-ridden early transition period has ended and the hormones have done their thing, this book shows how you can be trans and simply exist in society. You can be trans and have a successful future. You can be trans and have a normal life full of ups and downs. In our current political and social climate, this hopeful, accessible narrative about trans lives is both entertaining and vital.

Wonderful book!

Julia Kaye's second book of daily comics is a perfect follow-up to her first book, once again bringing many relatable scenes surrounding transition to light. I found myself beaming in the parts where Julia was happy in relationships, not just with joy for someone in the trans community who has so publicly shared here previous low finally experiencing some big highs, but also with delighting in the knowledge that I may have these feelings again too, if I choose to seek them out.

If you love Super Late Bloomer, you'll love My Life in Transition! It continues the fun, the heart, and the wisdom of the first book. It gives great insight into not only a trans experience but the life of another person as well. The art is amazing, the comedy is hilarious, and the emotion is heartfelt. Absolutely recommend.

Beautiful Journey Told Through Comics

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2021

My Life in Transition
Author/Cartoonist: Julia Kaye
Genre: Collection of webtoons
Pages: 167
Publication Date: 2/16/2021

This collection is written and drawn by Julia Kaye and describes Julia’s experiences after she transitioned. It focuses on her life after the early days of her transition and covers topics such as break-ups, mental health, dating, and friendship. The collection covers a six-month period from December 2018 to June 2019.

What I liked:
*I love that this collection focuses on life after the transition. When trans people are depicted in media, the focus is often on their transition and the early days. This collection allows us to see some of Julia’s authentic experiences of what her “new normal” is going to be.
*The art style reminds me of the Sunday funnies. It is easy to read and very cute.
*I really enjoyed the chronological nature of this collection showing us small victories and setbacks for Julia.
*I liked that this comic depicted the complexity of gender after the transition. The societal influences do not disappear after someone transitions but continue to impact how they see themselves, how others see them and who they attracted to.
*The afterword was *powerful* talking about regret. As someone who came to her queerness later in life, I have grabbled with this. I really hope the author explores this theme in future comics as it is powerful!

What I didn’t like:
*The cover was very hard to read due to the lack of contrast. I had to enlarge the cover to be able to read the title and see the art. The cover also did not draw me in as I scrolled by it several times before reading the description.
*At times, I felt like the narrative did not fit the three-panel cartoon. Subsequently, some of the third panels were filler or platitudes that did not feel authentic.
*The story arc about Julia’s relationship with Liv felt abrupt. In several comics, we are shown how happy they are and then they break-up with little explanation. As the reader, I was unclear why they broke-up. Julia talks about how they just were not a good fit, but it would have been better to see that lack of a fit depicted in comics before their break-up or in flashbacks.

I would highly recommend this collection of webtoons. The artwork is cute and will remind you of the warm feelings you had reading the Sunday funnies as a kid while the narrative is powerful depiction of life after transition. It is a quick and thoughtful read.
