Zines were a popular manner in which trans (and generally queer) people shared art, thoughts, and intellectual resources. gendertrash from hell detailed all of those aspects within one piece of media.

Some trans people found their ability to be freer in romantic expression after transitioning and though we don’t know if that was the case for these two, isn’t it lovely to see trans joy?
