The comic is a unique depiction of an ongoing gender transition told with lightness, dark humor and cartoonish drawings. "Why do you want to be a girl? It sucks to be a girl!!!"
Olivia argues with herself about biology, norms, ideals of beauty and gender identity. She lies on the sofa of a psychologist and talks about her upbringing, about her everyday life as a trans woman and compulsively tells comical anecdotes about her life.
