I finally figured out how to scan zines… and now it’s ready to be downloaded. More zines are coming! So .. egh hem.. anyways…

 

It’s been incredible to create this zine. this project has created the space in my life to focus on gender liberation and collaborate with amazing people in the process. Thanks to my friends who’ve supported this project, and to the honest criticism I’ve gotten as well. This wouldn’t exist if weren’t for the love and support of my comrads. Fire UP!
