Isn't D.C. actually a girl? Her wikipedia page refers to her as 'she' at least.

'Dana Claire Simpson (born David Craig Simpson, April 23, 1977 in Pullman, Washington), generally known as D. C. Simpson, is the creator of the webcomic Ozy and Millie and the political cartoon I Drew This. She is a graduate of...'

Makes it sound like he had a sex change, this is bizarre.

'Simpson lives in Auburn, Washington with significant other David Brodbeck.'

Wait, what?

DCS is a guy.

I'm confused now. :huh:

Wikipedia page says 'she', all of her self-portraits on her DA are obviously female (the human ones, at least)...all kinda point towards her being a girl.

She is male-to-female transgender, as far as I know. But biologically, she is a male.

Really? Was this a recent thing? Sorry for bringing this up in current strips by the way.

Uh, not too recent. It's been at least a year and a half or so, I think.

Oh, okay. Thanks for clarifying.

Yeah, like a couple years ago DCS was going to have an operation, changed his/her mind and went as a dude, and then started going as a she again.

I wanted to use schlee and schler and schlim like Yeevo would have wanted but at the time I couldn't remember them.

I don't think there was going to be an operation, just hormone therapy. Which may be precisely what happened.

People, I think that if DCS were here now, she'd be pissed off at everyone who refuses to accept her new gender.

At Deviantart DC said lately that she is still Dana, probably David is gone forever.

And all her new Comic characters are Female, Ozy was the last Boy-Character, maybe thats the Masterpiece why O&M have to die.

Uh, no, Ozy was the first boy character. The last, I think, was Stevie.

Does this topic come up often? I think I've seen this conversation before.

Yes, it happened a few months ago in a different thread.
