@lszinefest was a blast! From all the creative #zine programming to the immersive elements that got us all involved, there was something to love. And who doesn't live a good #compzine!? #LSZF2021 gathered a bunch of us #creatives to throw down our craft in their pages and the result is incredible! If you haven't yet, be sure to grab a copy from their site! #comp #compilation #zinester #zinefest #art #lonestarzinefest #MakingComics #ArtistLife #conventionswag https://www.instagram.com/p/CNZ51dlhO8G/?igshid=1e5uychnis4j5

A zine about being sexually dysfunctional whilst participating in sex-positive queer spaces. Written by four queers, this zine discusses feeling excluded from sex-positive spaces, the limits of consent, not feeling queer 'enough', bad sex and sad sex. Some things about us (from the introduction): We are a group of four white queers, and - despite differing gender identities - were all assigned female at birth and are now usually read as women. We are all currently physically non-disabled, in our 20s, south London-based, attracted to people of various genders, have had shitty abusive relationships (mostly but not exclusively with men), are currently suffering or have previously suffered from various mental health problems, love cats. Content note: these pieces include subjects such as rape, sexual assault and coercion, abusive relationships, self-harm, anxiety and depression. The writing also reflects cisnormativity and internalised homophobia and misogyny.

Not Trans Enough: a compilation zine on the erasure of non-passing and non-conforming trans people, edited by Eddie Jude of latebloomzines.etsy.com. With over 30 contributors and 50 pages of writings, stories, poems, comics and images, this zine explores the multiple lived truths of trans and non-binary people who feel, in some way or another, the pressure to 'conform' to dominate narratives of what it means and looks like to be trans. This zine explores the notion of trans authenticity created by cissexist ideas of gender 'normalcy' and breaks them down; tears them apart. This zine asks us if we can envision something new and broaden our ideas surrounding identity and gender. This zine is printed in colour and can be ordered with purple, blue, yellow, or pink cover pages. "Can we envision something new? Where femininity is celebrated; where violent masculinity isn’t acceptable; where intersectional experiences of violence and oppression are not removed from our gender identities? Where self-determination is seen as truth? My hope with this zine is that it becomes a stepping-stone on the path to growth and understanding, and while I know that it could never represent all experiences, I hope that it demonstrates that a wide range of truths exists, and that there is no such thing as not being trans enough."
