My Transition Armor

 A friend of mine introduced me to the term "transition armor," and I found myself clinging to that when dysphoria was at its strongest early in my transition to Beth. As time went on, I found things that made me happy and slowly started to fight against dysphoria until I could banish it for periods of time (it's an immortal beast that can never be slain, though...). 

This zine covers the things that I use/wear/love as a transgender woman. If you're discovering you're transgender, maybe you'll find something useful too! And, honestly, I can't recommend these things enough. The expectations so forced into our day-to-day lives about how people "should" look based on gender are stupid anyway, and everyone deserves to discover the joy of shaved legs under a skirt at least once in their life (if they want to, of course).

IMPORTANT NOTE

None of these things make one more feminine, nor does not doing/wearing them make one less feminine. And vice versa. These are merely things that I, personally, find joy in. All gender expression is valid —and awesome!— and I hope you find what makes you happy. This isn't a suggestion to copy me, but you're welcome to, or at least you can try these things out too if you want (or don't!). 

How Do I Fold It Though?

This video is a great example of how to fold an 8-page zine!

You can read more about My Transition Armor there.

The vast majority of our posts are free: we share news, updates, behind-the-scenes design stuff, and more. We do have paid tiers that get access to our stuff as it releases, but even becoming a free member will get you emails when one of our free posts goes out. And psssst: sometimes we even release free stuff!
