Description
"Content warning: This zine contains extensive discussion of specific beauty standards, internalized and general fatphobia and transphobia, and miscellaneous body angst."-- [Page 1]
"I wrote this zine slightly before and just after beginning my medical transition as a nonbinary person. T&A is about my fear of departing from the one ideal of attractiveness I knew I could conform to. It explores my relationship to my body and my attractiveness through puberty books I had as a kid, questionable rules I absorbed from the internet as a teenager, and relationships I’ve had more recently with other trans people. It also addresses the standards that trans people are expected to conform to when talking about ourselves and the implications of my transition on my job as a teacher."-- From zinester's website. https://www.birchrosen.com/home/t-and-a
