Things changed since then: apparently not a damn thing?
This comic is 30 years old and evergreen.

@Natasha_Jay alt for the text in the comic, punctuation is incorrect bc text to speech
panel 1
one slow evening at the multiplex...
lois: man did that suck!
mo: think we can get our money back?
Jillian: not after we sat through the whole damn thing, wait up, okay. I have to pee
panel 2
mo: lois, I have to go too, but I just want to wait a minute. I know jillion's cool and she's done great work with The Avengers and everything, but I don't know. I still feel kinda weird using the bathroom with someone who used to be a man
lois: mo, i'm not gonna stand around here all night just because you're having a transphobia attack, get over it and go pee or we'll leave without you
panel 3
unnamed woman, to mo: excuse me, aren't you in the wrong bathroom
Jillian: of course she's not. take a closer look, hon
panel 4
mo: uh, thanks, jillian.I'd do the same for you, you know
Jillian: thanks, but I actually don't have much of a problem. In ladies' rooms, at least nonsense, my nobody knows i'm a transsexual T shirt wore out
@Natasha_Jay @ireneista the neighborhood indie comic shop taught me more about inclusiveness in the 90s than a lot of the social action groups
...
which isn't really fair to say really since there was a *lot* of overlap. It was just easier for me to converse in comic shops.
Yes, unfortunately evergreen!
