Breakout Session: Transforming Feminist Motherhood through Graphic Imagery
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Élodie Durand's 2023 graphic novel, Transitions: A Mother's Journey, follows a family through their struggles with a teenager's gender transition. As Durand presents it, the person who changes the most is Anne, the mother of the transitioning teen. This beautiful and thoughtful comic uses space, color, and line to represent Anne"s transition from angry skeptic to trans ally, providing effective models for speaking back to "gender critical" feminism (i.e., TERF thinking).
