TRANSplants Issue 2 Digital Release
Issue 2 of TRANSplants Zine is now available digitally on itch, pay what you want. Please download and share. If you want a physical copy, you can order one here. Now more than ever, I am committed to distributing art and writing by trans people. Those in power gleefully characterize us as deficient, unworthy of respect and acceptance, disposable and dangerous. While they gather wood and fire to burn us as a sacrifice to their cruel god, slitting our throats and lapping at our blood as they mumble prayers for a return to a nonexistent past, we create the future.
Have a story, essay, or art about transness and place? TRANSplants Issue 3 is open for submissions until March 3rd. More details here: https://asterolsen.com/transplants-zine/submissions/
