Content warning: nudity, gore, self-harm

Imperfect Bodies is a 36-page zine about gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia. This nonfiction stream-of-consciousness exploration features dozens of hand-drawn illustrations from Phobia Solara (@isthatyourmain), whom I will lovingly nickname the trans-femme Rembrandt of end-stage capitalism.

Praise for Imperfect Bodies >>>

"A lushly illustrated scream, tearing away the skin and muscle of the author's hard-won trans femininity and exposing the bones underneath." - Carta Monir

"A thought catalog of Phobia's consistent and constant art output married with Cassandra's freeform essay on the nature of internal struggles that come with self actualization--the gnawing need for closure when pain is killing you." - Michelle Perez

"Imperfect Bodies is a pitch-perfect recounting of the emotional process of transition, that nauseous cycle of endless promise and disappointment. This zine is a brief, beautiful document of the process of discovering that the harrowing desperation that plagues you is, ultimately, a kind of slim hope." - Never Angeline Nørth
