In this Mature (18+) Magical Fantasy comic, we take the subtext out of one of the most allegorically Trans characters in fiction, making Princess Ozma CANONICALLY TRANS for our adaptation!
And we want to reward "Transphoria" backers who return to support our next book with a FREE EXCLUSIVE ART PRINT featuring Ozma workings some Trans Girl Magic!
The below art print by Chloe Brailsford will go out FOR FREE to any "Transphoria" backers who also support "Ozma: The Trans Witch of Oz"!
All you have to do to qualify for the free print is back "Ozma: The Trans Witch of Oz" using the same Kickstarter Account you used for "Transphoria". We'll handle the rest! Whether you back the NEW PROJECT Physically or Digitally determines whether you get a physical or digital copy of the art print.
Physical returning backers (backers getting some rewards shipped to them for "Ozma") will get a Physical + Hi-Res Digital copy of the art (regardless of whether you supported "Transphoria" Physically or Digitally).
Digital returning backers of "Ozma" will get the Hi-Res Digital copy.
We're so excited to announce that Transphoria: A Trans & Nonbinary Comic Book Anthology is one of the nominees for "Best Anthology" in the 2025 Ringo Awards!
For the unfamiliar, the Ringos are the Golden Globe awards of comics wherein industry professionals vote for multiple categories to recognize awesome comics.
"Transphoria" is truly one of the most important books we've ever made. It means the world to us to see the anthology get this recognition - especially right now, when we need positive Trans stories more than ever.
If you're a comic pro, we hope you'll consider voting for "Transphoria" as "Best Anthology" and helping us secure a place for Trans and Queer comics in award spaces.
The publisher that brought you Transphoria and The Witches of Oz is returning with an exciting new 44-page one-shot set in the EverAfterVerse (our Mature Dark Fairytale shared universe)…
“DOROTHY'S LONG-LOST PRINCESS & TRANSGENDER WITCH, Ozma of Oz, is forced to take a stand when her home is on the brink of WAR in this Mature 18+ Fantasy One-Shot!”
Princess Ozma of Oz is a character with such a strong Trans allegory in the original L. Frank BaumOz novels — a long-lost Princess who is “magicked” into an infant boy by the Wicked Witch of the North Mombi and is eventually restored to her true gender.
The one-shot was written by Phil’s brother, Algy, the lead editor of Transphoria and a proud Trans writer, adapting a story crafted by all three Transphoria editors.
Be sure to Follow the Pre-Launch Page below so you don’t miss out on Early Bird Discounts AND an EXCLUSIVE COVER only available for the first 48 hours of the campaign!
P.S: There will be a special bonus item that goes out FOR FREE to Transphoria backers who return to support this new project. More details on that in a couple of weeks!
How you can fight the "Big Beautiful Bill"

– Wed, Jun 04, 2025 at 08:16:48 AM
As many of you in the US are no-doubt aware, the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" has passed the House of Representatives and is now with the Senate.
This Bill specifically targets gender-affirming care in a time when Trans- and Nonbinary-identifying folks are in most grave need of support.
Our friend and fellow comic creator, Steve Bryant, wrote up a powerful and informative post about the Big Beautiful Bill and how each of us can do our part to help fight it. We'll share that post below.
"I’ve talked before about my child, now 24, who’s trans. She came out six years ago, and since then, has been happier than I can remember. I bring this up because Republicans have actively targeted the trans community for nearly a decade now. and plenty of Democrats are abandoning them with an eye toward fighting other battles.
"I don’t remember a U.S. political party actively targeting a marginalized group of its citizens. But that’s what the GOP, MAGA, and Trump have done—fully facilitated by the Democrats’ lack of resistance.
"The “Big Beautiful Bill” narrowly passed the House of Representatives and is now in the Senate. The bill would prohibit federal Medicaid funding from being used for gender-affirming medical care. However, the bill’s provisions would affect trans people with private insurance, not just Medicaid. One measure would prohibit insurance plans sold on Affordable Care Act marketplaces from considering gender-affirming care as an “essential health benefit,” which has additional consumer protections.
"81% of transgender adults in the U.S. have thought about suicide, 42% of transgender adults have attempted it, and 56% have engaged in non-suicidal self-injury over their lifetimes, due to a lack of societal recognition and acceptance of their gender identities, and increasing politically motivated attacks on transgender individuals.
"Gender affirming care reduces these numbers.
"I’m asking you, as my friends, to call your Senators and tell them not to vote for this bill. Lives are at stake. You probably know more people than just me who have transgender loved ones. We all need your help to protect our children, friends, and loved ones."
- Steve Bryant
Like Steve, we encourage anyone who wants to do their part to help fight this harmful bill to contact your local Senator and urge them to vote against this harmful legislature.
And if you're interested in using a script to communicate your concerns, here's a to-the-point template (also courtesy of Steve):
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I’m calling to urge [SENATOR NAME] to oppose any version of H.R. 1, the House budget reconciliation bill, that contains any discriminatory exclusions on transition-related healthcare for transgender people. This bill will cause hundreds of thousands of transgender people on Medicaid and ACA policies to lose access to life-saving health care, and threatens the lives of transgender people across the country.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
IF LEAVING VOICEMAIL: Please leave your full street address to ensure your call is tallied.
We live in scary times, but know that you are not alone. There are millions of people out there willing to fight for you and for your right to be who you are.
