I will say it till I kick it myself, but among the things I heard most after Mira passed was ‘I wish I had told her’. give the flowers & start the friendships now
man, share the memories you have about your people now. don't wait; just, like make that a regular thing. tell them why they matter to you all the fucking time. and tell them beautifully, poetically, the way you would reminisce about them. because that beauty is important.

If you have any interest in trans history or zines this is a must-read. Gendertrash is both vitally important and an insanely fun read. I am so excited to have a paper copy I can hold and share and loan out and not get back and buy again!
Today is the LAUNCH DAY for
‼️GENDERTRASH FROM HELL ‼️
The zine that redefined transsexual culture forever
THAT'S RIGHT: GENDERTRASH IS NOW LEGALLY AVAILABLE WITHOUT AGE RESTRICTIONS
Get it from our website, or from all good bookstores. You can even ask your library to order it!
