Carbo1 editions

Transgender contributors share stories about discrimination, being misgendered, and gender dysphoria. This comp zine includes essays about passing as cisgender and the decision to get top surgery, as well as excerpts from the doctor's letters required by law for gender reassignment. Though many contributors use terminology still used today, such as transphobia and transfolk, many others use the now outdated terms transsexual and transsexuality.
