Trans and nonbinary youth are living through a time of rising turmoil, and have often been the most visible in discussions restricting the rights of trans and nonbinary folks. At the same time, trans and nonbinary people of color, immigrants, and refugees are at increased risk of violence and deportation. These issues are deeply interconnected. “Refuge” emerged as a theme in the submissions we received. Trans and nonbinary youth finding comfort and solace in relationships; seeking quiet moments of relief from the storm outside; building systems of support within refugee camps and communities. These pieces reflect the isolation so many young people feel, along with the warmth of connection. |
Relationships take many shapes across our lifetimes. Relationships with parents, friends, partners, acquaintances, all leave an impact on us. Issue #4 of the Trans Survivors Zine focuses on the complexity of those relationships: both those that help us to grow, and those that cause harm. For many trans and nonbinary people in particular, our experiences of harm and abuse might be wrapped up in access to our communities and identities. What does it mean when the person who harmed us also taught us how to feel comfortable with who we are? |
From seeing the physical landscapes of our neighborhoods and communities change, to navigating parenthood, to imagining trans futures, Issue #3 of the Trans Survivors Zine includes voices across a spectrum of experiences and ages, with a focus on aging, change, and growth.

Issue #2 of the Trans Survivors zine focuses on scars, growth, and transformation. Art and writing explores the meaning we give to the histories that shape us, how we share them with others, and how we reclaim our bodies and stories.
