Readers should know..
I wrote this comic on a page-by-page basis, and before my art style had a chance to fully develop.. also reasonable text sizes, keeping dialogue reasonable, avoiding implying harmful stuff by mistake... and I just was an especially bad writer back then.
In other words.. This comic is bad!
I don't recommend reading it, beyond for historical purposes.

1 of likely 2 strips for my Gulp series.
I'm considering redoing the speech bubbles to read easier.
You can see individual panels and parts of future strips in my scraps
Characters related to "Mahiro's Drink" are from Nekotoufu's manga, "My Brother is Done For". (Support the author, or a giant wasp will steal your jewelry.)
Chunk 1: Characters in this panel are from Nekotoufu's manga, "My Brother is Done For". (Read it. Now.)
Chunk 2: I haven't named our girl here yet, and it's use isn't due for another 5 episodes or so. Drop suggestions in the comments if you like :)
Chunk 4: Mahiro (The girl on the can) is from "My Brother is Done For". (Go Read it. Or else.) Credit to Nekotoufu for her design

Part 2 of my likely-to-be-much-longer-than-planned series, Gulp.
The next panel will most likely be about Jay and Lilith heading to the barber, trying to get his hair cut short.
Chunk 8: Jay's feeling pretty bad to say the least, and now it looks like he's going to have to transition BACK to his assigned gender.
I feel like I should clarify, the results of using both drinks wouldn't result in either sex as a result. Instead, the subject would show random traits from both primary sexes. For example, the person could end up with both a tall body and a female face.
Chunk 9: Support from other trans people is an important thing in a trans person's life..
Chunk 10: Research is always important when it comes to transitioning, even if it's technically detransitioning.

Part 3 of the messy identity series, Gulp.
So far, only Lilith knows about Jay's new form. Pretty soon though, other friends might be getting involved..
Chunk 11: Telling a transmasc person that you liked their hair long isn't exactly the nicest..
Chunk 12: Even though it's only been a few hours in the wrong body, Jay can still experience euphoria.
Chunk 13: What exactly is going to go down with Jay? Will he succeed in his transition? Will his family or friends get in the way? Only I know for sure..

Part 4 of the hard to place comic, Gulp.
You can see individual panels and parts of future strips in my scraps
In this part, Jay's Newly split ex comes over for dinner and discusses what's happened.
Chunk 15: Jen's come over for dinner, but Jay's starting to experience emotions in ways he's not used to.
Chunk 16: Huh, Jen might have a point. There might be more changes that the drink hasn't quite finished implementing yet..
Chunk 17: Jen seems to know a lot about this sort of thing. Her backstory there is probably that she met Lilith, and after hearing about the subject of trans people from her, she's become interested in it and researched it herself.
Part 4 - Jen's Visit

This is it for now. Gulp has concluded..
I may revisit these characters in other future works, or even pick the story back up after a timeskip. For now though, say goodbye to Jayden..
Chunk 18: From here on out, I'll be referring to our main character as Jayden and using she/her for her.
The drink had a bit left that hadn't been completed yet, and so changed Jayden's gender identity to prevent her from having to suffer from dysphoria. (this isn't normal behavior for those that aren't familiar with trans sciences, gender identity is normally permanent. Trans guys won't become girls in any context in the real world.)
Chunk 20: This is it for now.. Say goodbye to Jayden and co.
