ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1993, Mirha Soleil-Ross and Xanthra Phillippa MacKay, fed up with a gay scene that rejected trans people and a trans scene that saw no alternative to going “stealth,” began to publish the zine Gendertrash From Hell. Over four issues, they interviewed sex workers and prisoners; they printed collages, soap operas and polemics; they ran regular sections with titles like \u201cTrannies Speak Out\u201d and \u201cHooker of the Month\u201d. They redefined transsexual culture forever, and their explosive ideas resonate deeply today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remastered from the original layouts, this foundational work is now available in book form for the first time, including previously-unseen drafts from the unfinished fifth issue and essays by Trish Salah and Leah Tigers. Irreverent, furious, reckless, sexy, hilarious and incisive, Gendertrash from Hell<\/em> is here to set all your presuppositions on fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABOUT THE BOOK CLUB:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dick\u2019s Lending Library is a community-run library that specializes in the literary, political, and artistic work of trans, non-binary, and Two Spirit authors. Through our collections and programming, Dick\u2019s aims to build a free resource for local communities while fostering a space for political education and mobilization. While our collections focus on writing by trans, non-binary, and Two Spirit authors, we also carry books written by authors that may self-identify in other ways, and other books that pertain to trans issues more broadly. We are a collaboratively-run project, with an open door to those who would like to get involved. Instagram: @dickslendinglibrary<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
