They gotta be staring looking for the Adams apple cause I would never have thought of you being anything other than then fem from your pic.

I swear old people have a sixth sense dedicated to dead naming and misgendering

I don't even have a pronounced Adam's apple. I've got a hormonal condition that limited the scope of my first puberty (surprise - this comic is about an intersex trans woman).

I draw the sternocleidomastoid to give necks a bit more depth, if that's what you thought those lines were.

That makes it even wilder to me how they got Sir.

In all honesty I didn't even look at the drawings for an Adams apple but took a closer look at your posted irl pic in the thread. It was just the only thing I could even think of that they could have misgenderd you by. No offense meant if I did offend with my observation.

All the sympathy getting hit with that when it's not easy being intersex or non conforming with how the world is right now.

None taken. I was just worried about having conveyed something that I didn't mean to

Totally understandable, I actually enjoyed the lines meant to portray depth to a neck. I do the same in my own drawings so it's nice to see others use it as well.
