Fourth annual Toronto Queer Zine Fair is happening Saturday October 15, 2016. More details TBA. Click the image for a link to the facebook page.
Poster design by Jenny Chan
Copies of Not Trans Enough will be available at this event!
The Toronto Queer Zine Fair is hosting a summer pop up market and mingle! Buy work from some of your favourite zinesters, enter a raffle to win fun prizes, and catch up with all your zinester and creative pals. This event is a fundraiser to help the TQZF pay for accessibility costs including ASL interpretation, an accessible venue, and extra space for a quiet room for the fair in October. Tablers TBA!
Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1728539380717703/ SUNDAY, JULY 31, 2016 THE GLADSTONE HOTEL MELODY BAR 11:00AM - 5:00PM SUGGESTED ENTRY $5-$20/NO ONE TURNED AWAY FOR LACK OF FUNDS ACCESS INFO BELOW.
We thank the Gladstone Hotel for their generosity in donating their space for this event. If you would like to donate to our raffle, please email [email protected]! Access Info: The fundraiser will take place in the Gladstone Hotel’s Melody Bar, which has ramp access but no button to open the door. We will have the ramp access door open unless it is raining. If you may need assistance with the door, on the off chance it is raining, please email [email protected] and we will pass on a number you can text/call for assistance. The Gladstone has two gendered washrooms with stalls (not accessible), one wheelchair accessible all gender single stall (with grab bars but no button), and one all gender washroom (not accessible). Please do not wear scented products to this event. We will supply unscented soap in all the washrooms. Because this event is in a space where other things will be going on we can’t guarantee a scent free space but ask people help us make it as scent free as possible. There will be no alcohol served in the Melody Bar; however, brunch service will be available in the other room and there will be alcohol served there. For this reason we cannot guarantee that the space will be alcohol free. We ask that people not bring their alcoholic drinks into the pop up market area; however, we will not be enforcing this. There is a bar in the Melody Bar, but it will not be in service. There will be no ASL interpretation for this event. There will be no childcare for this event.

Review of the new zine A Compilation on the Erasure of Non Passing and Non Conforming Trans Identified People, from Late Bloom Zine.
A review by Women Write About Comics! For the full review, click the link!
“Not Trans Enough: A Compilation on the Erasure of Non Passing and Non Conforming Trans Identified People challenges the idea that there is a clear, static definition of trans identity. Collected by Eddie Jude, the publisher and creator behind Late Bloom Zines, this anthology zine boasts over fifty pages of content from 31 contributors, all questioning the concept of trans authenticity by sharing their individual experiences.
Dictionary definitions of “enough” contradict how we sometimes use the word. Merriam-Webster defines it as “equal to what is needed.”The Free Dictionary identifies it as meaning, “sufficient to meet a need or satisfy a desire; adequate,” and the listing in the Oxford English Dictionary similarly states, “sufficient in quantity or number.” If reaching “enough” means one’s needs are all met, how can anyone determine what is enough, except for the person in need?
Each contributor plays with, or refutes, the idea of outside parties creating a strict definition of “enough.” The uniqueness of each creator is reflected in the diversity of media in the zine: there are essays, free verse poems, sketches, portraits, and lots of spoken word poetry. Many of these pieces utilize styles that are deliberately unconventional. For example, “on femmes, fags, and the impossibility of recognition” by tasha tristan is the first essay in the zine, and, despite its formal nature, is written in all lowercase letters. The following essay, “Big, Burly and Beautiful” by Rhiannon Robear, again disrupts the traditionally formal format when Robear declares, “…fuck off with your gendered policing.” Reading this zine is an exercise in breaking all the rules of both gender norms and form, and it is incredibly satisfying.
Reading this zine is an exercise in breaking all the rules of both gender norms and form, and it is incredibly satisfying.”
hey! Wanna review Not Trans Enough or want to distro it? Are you currently already distroing it? Email and let us know so we can add your info to our order page, which will let people know where they can pick up or order a copy of the zine. Email: [email protected] Thanks and please share!
