Two zines linked below (from an archive of old trans printed material), one from 1997 and one from 1993. It's very weirdly nostalgic to hear them talking in the language of that time.
I'd kind of blocked out remembering how everyday an occurrence vicious transphobia was. That's the biggest change, I think, in the cis-het community since then, is the growing number who are at least neutral about us. Also, the open hostility to the cis queer communities about their lack of acceptance of our existence at the time.
The hardcore opposed are still there, but the low-lying instant hostility from almost everyone...I know some of you still live that life where you are, but here at least it's shifted.
It's an interesting trip through the distant past of our community.
