[selfvariance-zine]

Hello Tumblr

We’re putting together We Name Ourselves, a zine celebrating selfvariance, plural systems, alterhumans, microidentities, and all the ways we experience identity.

This zine is a safe, creative space for exploring and honoring identities that are rarely represented or understood. And will be digital and free, at first.

We’re looking for:

Art (drawings, comics, digital art, photography, etc.)

Writing (poems, short stories, reflections, essays)

Personal experiences or reflections about selfvariance, plural systems, alterhumans, or microidentities

Other creative expressions that celebrate or explore identity in all its forms

Submission guidelines:

Please send your work as a digital file

Keep content safe for the intended zine audience; trigger warnings are welcome

Include your name/pen name (or stay anonymous) if you’d like credit

How to submit:

Send your submission to this account, or add it at the end of this Optional Questionaire!

Everyone’s experience is valid, and we want this zine to celebrate the diversity, beauty, and uniqueness of all selfvariant people, pluriforms, elsebeings, and microidentities.

So many of yall havent ever been to a public lgbtqa space and/or support group and only base your politics about gender and sexuality from tumblr posts instead of also reading academic texts or books on the topic and it fucking shows .

meaningless micro-identities such as “panplatonic” have the same purpose as labeling a potato as “gluten-free”

broke: the rainbow flag whose colors literally symbolize all non-heteronormative sexualities and which has represented a hugely revolutionary sociopolitical movement changing what is considered "normal" gender, romantic and sexual expression
