Cheer Up! Love and Pom Poms

When a quiet lesbian is forced to join the cheerleading squad to make friends and become "well adjusted", she rekindles friendship and kindles romance with an old friend who was once a boy. In Cheer Up!, the people around our protagonists are supportive and love them, and it's a refreshing story where the queer / trans leads don't need to fight for their right to exist or grapple with their identities---they already figured it out! But that doesn't mean they're free from Feelings and Teen Problems. Cheer Up! is created by an entirely trans team, including Crystal Frasier, local author and creator of the classic trans webcomic Venus Envy.

From the Publisher: Annie is a smart, antisocial lesbian starting her senior year of high school who's under pressure to join the cheerleading squad to make friends and round out her college applications. Her former friend Bebe is a people-pleaser, a trans girl who must keep her parents happy with her grades and social life in order to maintain their support of her transition. Through the rigors of squad training and amped-up social pressures (not to mention microaggressions and other queer youth problems), the two girls rekindle a friendship they thought they'd lost and discover there may be other, sweeter feelings springing up between them.
