Exiern? Is it the webcomic where-
"Originally Posted by Lissou, from the LGBTAI thread
Looks kind of like Exiern? I'm not a fan of it. Male barbarian is in a fight, gets turned into a woman, does not identify as one, and the rest seems to be excuses to get the main character to have his clothes shred off for random reasons, and males turning into women here and there with what seems to be sexual connotations. The main character's personality also seems to change once turned female (as well as his sexual orientation), which is weird, and the disphoria seems to come and go. The art is really good (the author pays an artist to draw the comic) and there are some interesting stuff going on in the story, but it seems to be mostly fanservice [goto's note: for example, the balloon breasts which seem to plague every female character in the comic], which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but doesn't seem to me to be a very helpful representation of trans people."

Ditto. It's not really a trans comic so much as a comic that uses a trans thing as imagined by a cis person as an occasional plot point. It's not bad for that, I guess."
Hi, this page showed up in our traffic referral statistics. Just some background if you're interested; Exiern has now been running for almost 10 and half years and over 750 pages now. In that time, it's passed through a few different hands in terms of ownership, writers and artists. I won't deny it was more like described in these quotes in the beginning but for better or worse it's changed a lot since the beginning. It's taking a much more serious approach to some fairly complex stories, so there's a lot less clothes shredding for starters. Turning into a more serious drama isn't always in itself a turn for the better but it's certainly always tried different things over the years. Also, the attempts at comedy haven't disappeared, it's also generally accepted that the original writer was just the best at it.
Just a couple of things, the main character's

orientation and gender (as opposed to biological sex) never changed. Make of that what you will.
Anyway, happy to at least try and answer your questions if you have any.
