calling all trans men and transmascs that have experienced an eating disorder or general disordered eating: we are now taking submissions!! open until august 1st, may be extended a bit longer if we don’t get enough content.
accepting personal essays, short stories, poetry, and visual art (please include a black and white version of artwork as well as we are still trying to weigh cost vs color printing). please focus more on the *feelings* of your experiences rather than the *behaviors* you engaged in- will be moderating content to make sure nothing comes off as overly “pro”/instructional in nature. visual depictions of scars are fine, but please no imagery of active self harming/open wounds.
doing our best to figure out how to distribute copies at cost/going to set up a donation pot if anyone wants to sponsor contributors getting a copy, with any extra remaining helping to distribute to queer organizations! we’re looking at about 4€ per copy right now for a black and white 80 page 12cm x 9cm paperback.
unfortunately as this is a personally funded project to amplify trans men/masc voices I am unable to compensate contributors at this time- the intention here is to get as many people’s experiences heard as possible to focus budget entirely on printing and distribution.
please feel free to ask for any clarification as i am medicated at the time of writing this!!

for those very few people interested in Life Updates on this account i’m now the kind of puppyboy that cleans a hot lady’s kitchen for free in exchange for her being kinda mean to me
if you know me for long enough there will be periods of several years where you just don’t hear from me and then one day i pop up again. i’d like to take the time to thank those of you who didn’t immediately assume i had killed myself
really need to find a shrink to study me not in a “wow i’m so edgy and damaged” way but in a “whatever is wrong with me is really funny and you should be allowed to name it after yourself for putting up with me” way
@wormhats very stoned and stuck contemplating all the possible configurations that are possible and it feels like you have opened my eyes. do you think somewhere in the world someone’s just shaving their left pit and leg for the bit
Ofc it was a German person, only German autism can make a person taste a coffee they don't like, say how it would be better, AND come everyday later to check for improvements
