So I got a call the other day from the person co-ordinating the MCA zine fair, and because of all your support (and some people pulling out) we now have a table at the MCA zine fair!
If you’re in Sydney come and say hi!
26 May 2013, 11:00am-4:00pm at MCA Foundation Hall.
Source: lumpenspaceprincessBeing a trans lady is real hard, and part of that is especially in places like where I grew up and live there’s nobody to reflect back to you and say “no actually what you’re feeling is real and valid and ok.”
Reading Nevada by Imogen Binnie fucked with me for like a week straight because I don’t think I’ve ever read another story where a trans lady was a 3 dimensional character and a protagonist. And that’s fucked up.
Ok so I had this idea in a fit of rage of basically taking a bunch of my blog entries and mashing it up with a bunch of stuff a sweetie would contribute and making this weird kind of cut-up zine about what it’s like to be a trans lady and what I’m mad about but it’s hard to talk about.
So what I don’t want to have in this zine is
- any form of essentialism
- long theory pieces
- anything fucked up w/r/t race, gender, sexuality, ability, etc, etc
- social justice
What I do want is
- your (real or made up) diary pages, rambling and semi-coherent
- your complicated feelings about complicated things that never get talked about
- things that run against narratives
- sloppy embarrassing feelings
- what you wish another trans feminine person had told you to validate you
Submit away! Your submissions will be anonymous and probably cut up and rearranged in some way by me (lumpenspaceprincess). I won’t necessarily include everything but I’ll include as much as I can.
Plz reblog

Hey y’all, so after many years of just trying to deal, I’m trying to raise money for transition-related costs in my life in hopes that I will be a lot less miserable in my body. I know that most of you have probably heard me be critical of people who ask for money for…
