In Stevenson's comic, shared via Twitter, the artist reintroduced himself to fans as Nate, a name which he stated he's been 'using privately with close friends for almost a year.' While Stevenson now uses he/him pronouns, he discussed gender as a more complex spectrum of which he's been navigating. For this reason, he has chosen to keep his original middle name, Diana. 'It is my way of paying tribute to the other side of me,' Stevenson, who will retain the professional moniker ND, said of his decision.
