Assigned Male is a webcomic created by artist Sophie Labelle in 2014, primarily focusing on the life and experiences of Ciel, a trans girl. While the original series addresses themes of gender identity and social justice, it gained massive internet notoriety through exploits—edited versions of the panels where the dialogue is replaced. These edits range from wholesome additions to surrealist humor and sharp social commentary. The meme's longevity stems from its distinct art style and the easily customizable speech bubbles, making it a favorite for those looking to subvert original narratives or highlight specific social interactions through a recognizable comic lens.
