“Catharsis: Trans Women’s Stories of Sexual Violence
Call For Submissions
Catharsis: Trans Women’s Stories of Sexual Violence is seeking written submissions from trans women who are willing to share their experiences of sexual violence and assault. The goal is to create a book-length collection of personal essays and stories from trans women about their individual experiences. Through compiling these stories, we hope to counteract the tendency of broader feminist dialog to deal with the subject of violence against trans women as hypothetical, ethereal, and comparatively minimal. We also hope that such a compilation would reinforce the place of trans women among all women and help to bring support and healing to our often overlooked communities.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS JULY 31ST, 2012!

PDX QTPOC Zine Call for Submissions!
Hey Folks!
The submission deadline has been extended and we would love love to hear from you!
DEADLINE: June 10th, 2012
Crosshairs is looking for submissions for the first collaborative zine from the qtpoc (queer, trans*, people of color) communities here in Portland! We are asking folks to share their stories in an effort to highlight our invisibilsed experiences,as qtpoc. This project is led by and for qtpoc.
WHAT is Crosshairs:
Crosshairs is first an attempt at defining our realities on our own terms, in the crosshairs of what we don’t hear between race, gender, class, and the way our bodies are negotiated in the everyday. It is well known to the people of our community that we are behind, in between, and outside of the borders of family, friends, strangers and the structures that surround us. Recording our thoughts and emotions around these subjects in order to share with others is a necessary form of healing.
Crosshairs is secondly a reclamation of space, of our identities, and voices of our past, present, and future.
OUR Goals for the issue include:
- Creating a community resource
- Defining our identities for ourselves by ourselves
- Creating visibility
- Sharing the trauma of our everyday lived experiences
- Sharing alternative stories to the narratives of what it means to be queer and trans* in a white supremacist society
GUIDELINES
- This will be a half-size zine. Submissions should be 1-4 pages.
- Along with your submission, please include a brief (one sentence) bio and contact information; submissions can also be made anonymously.
- We welcome all kinds of submissions. Text-based submissions should be in .doc or .odf format, and artistic submissions should be 300-600 .tiff or .pdf files. Make sure each page is 5.5” x 8.5” (half letter).
- Please send submissions by email to pdxqpoczine (at) gmail (dot) com with the subject line “SUBMISSION - [your name OR title of piece]”. If you have questions about format or if an email submission is not possible, please contact us.
QUESTIONS? Email pdxqpoczine (at) gmail (dot) com

Go Fuck Yourself (click title to download in PDF format from QZAP) is a mini zine devoted to D.I.Y. sex toys and gender-bending devices. It’s not entirely comprehensive, but it combines punk rock, genderbending, D.I.Y., and sexuality, which are all pretty fucking cool things.
