"Although being a trans person comes with its share of sacrifices and hardships, there is freedom in being self-determined in how your manhood can show up in the world. We create new blueprints of masculinity and remix the old ones" - Tiq Milan (p. x).
This book was amazing and very affirming to me as a non-binary transmasculine person. I loved how they featured a diverse array of trans men and transmasc people. They featured people with a wide array of gender presentations and affirmed that we all have a place in the community. The interviewed some really interesting people and covered a variety of topics.
The book featured a selection of articles and pictures from each issue. I liked so many issues that it's hard to pick favorites. I really liked the interview with the guys from Schmekel, a band of Jewish trans men. There were some really interesting interviews from some trans men from Atlanta. I really liked the interview with Mr. Transman NYC; his platform was "The 'M' in 'FTM' does not stand for misogyny" (p. 234). I loved the fashion issue because it was so cool to see transmasc people expressing themselves in so many different ways.
I was really disappointed to see Buck Angel featured in the collection. Buck Angel has expressed transmedicalist views and outed a trans woman. Platforming him really goes against the stated mission of the zine.
