Radical Transfeminism Zine

“We are dreaming, and have been dreaming for decades, of forms of radical social transformation, rooted in Black radicalism, anarcho-communism, Gay Liberationist and other collectivist politics. We have been necessarily working towards alternatives to capitalism and practicing them on a micro level (when we can steal the hours to do so). Our feminism has emerged through the experiences of our lives of transgressing gender norms (gender norms that are always racialised, classed and abled); through challenging the gender identity police (psychiatrists) and the bourgeois politics of trans and queer liberalisms; through imbibing feminist writings and the writings of women and men of colour, of queer and trans writers, through pulling a transfeminist herstory out of obscurity.”

Featuring writing, visuals and manifestoes on transmisogyny, boredom, erasure, agency, trauma and embodiment, strikes in the university, sexual politics, healthcare, activist and cultural spaces, reproductive justice, justice, desire, poetics.

Autumn 2017. 64 pages.
