Gendercide #3: It's The Chemical Warfare Issue, Part 1

Black and white photograph, 3 women wearing gas masks
From the zine:
Welcome to first of two very special issues of Gendercide In issues #3 and #4 I've asked a couple of friends to write about 'chemical warfare' as it relates to their transitions. In this issue Ashley Altadonna talks about her experiences with HRT, the chemicals she takes and the effects it has on her to make her the woman she is.
Stay tuned for Gendercide #4 when we get a glimpse at chemical warfare from an FTM perspective.

Little Pink Houses: Women in Suburbia from Donna Reed to Desperate Housewives

"In this zine I am arguing that the suburbs are constructed in the media as a feminine space that creates a certain kind of femininity, primarily the dutiful housewife. Also the suburbs is constructed in the media as a space that emasculates men, and men found ways to be masculine the the suburbs, primarily through the fatherhood role and masculine activities such as barbequing."
