A zine by and for Women, Trans and Youth Prisoners in Canada

Metamorphoses is an art zine reflecting on Ovid's Metamorphoses and the fates of women in Greek & Roman mythology.

One Year on T is a 35+ page zine about being non-binary and the politics of passing, transitioning, and sex. The poems and essays within capture different stages of my transition, beginning with my coming out in 2015 and then focusing on my first year of hormone therapy. I open up about my experiences as a non-binary person with the medical system, dating, sex and desirability, taking hormones, transphobia, gatekeeping, gender expression, and more.

At 50+ pages, Coming Off of T is the third and final installment of my zine series about transitioning with testosterone. In this one, things come full circle and I delve into the process of stopping hormone replacement therapy: the why, the how, the what, and the when. I am still non-binary. This is not a zine about detransitioning, but rather, going off of hormones and exploring my new relationship with my body and everything that entails.

1.5 Years on T is a 40+ page zine about transitioning as a non-binary person. It continues from where One Year on T left off. In it, I grapple with lots of questions and plenty of confusion, showing that my transition has been far from straightforward. I open up about my relationship with my body, navigating all-male spaces, gender expression, beauty standards, privilege, pronouns, next steps for my transition, and more.

"The writers' circle is an open invite writers' collective based out of the Bus Stop Theatre on unceded Mi'kmaq land in Kjipuktuk." Plays, stories, and poems.

"This zine is messy notes from my kind of Feminism which will never be perfect, nor strong. Inconsistent and written by no one - me."
