Meet Sage Cotugno. Writer, director, and storyboard artist living in Los Angeles. I got a chance to sit down with Sage discuss their life within and beyond the binary. Listen in to feel and hear the magic of Sage...

On Sage's latest graphic novel, The Glass Scientists:

With over 180,000 unique visitors and over 6 million views on TikTok’s #TheGlassScientists, meet Sage Cotugno’s loveable cast of misfit mad scientists is available in its first volumized edition, The Glass Scientists: Volume 1 (Razorbill, Oct 3, 2023) that I would love to get in your hands! After working as an artist on the breakout hits shows Gravity Falls, The Owl House, and Star vs. the Forces of Evil, series creator, S.H. Cotugno dazzles readers with their Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde retelling in this contemporary gaslamp fantasy set in 19th century London that’s perfect for ages 12+ and out just in time for Halloween!

The Glass Scientists, follows Dr. Henry Jekyll who is determined to help reshape the nasty public image of his fellow mad scientists, which is why he creates the Society for Arcane Sciences. But Jekyll harbors a creeping suspicion that something inside him is horribly, incurably wrong–and with one sip of a bubbling potion, Dr. Jekyll unleashes Mr. Hyde, the embodiment of all the thoughts and desires he keeps hidden from the world. When a mysterious stranger arrives to take the Society in a new direction, everyone turns against Jekyll. Pretty soon, Jekyll’s life spirals out of control, shattering his carefully laid plans, and threatening to expose his darkest secrets.

This poem was inspired by a TikTok comment I received on my page, @coachalexvaughan. Understanding the transgender, noncisgender, experience will be difficult for some. For many. Until it's not.

What fuels delusion? Fear. Be scared but dare to live, staring it alive in the face.

Parent, gym owner and personal trainer, queer enby.

Dear listeners, "En-by" is shortened for "non-binary". Listen for their non-cisgender experience.

Frank is choosing not to share the name he goes by in life right now because that's where he is on his journey. We honor that...and we also need to hear Frank's story. He's an out-later-in-life trans man who came out four years ago at age 36. Friends have told him his life should be a book, and we agree. He's hoping someone like him will hear his story it and figure themselves out sooner than he did or maybe, just maybe, his parents will hear of this story and finally see him for who he really is. We feel you, Frank. You are so real.

Meet Shay. Shay is a 35 year old transgender man, loving husband and father of a nonbinary child. He's also a political refugee of Florida. Since recently fleeing the state because of anti trans laws, he shares what that experience was like for him and his family because so many trans people are facing the exact same thing he did. His message is clear: keep speaking and you are not alone.

Shay is veteran of the U.S. Army, as 1 in 134,000 trans veterans, serving time. It took him a lifetime to become his authentic self, and he's not about to stop now.
