TRANS SPIRITUALITY
A zine written by and for trans prisoners and their allies
While incarcerated, I received a low-budget zine for trans prisoners called TIP Journal. By the time I was released in the autumn of 2005, I was nominated to edit another zine for trans prisoners, focused on their diverse spiritual paths. The zine was written by and distributed among trans prisoners across the U.S.
TRANS SPIRITUALITY was a quarterly zine for demonstrating how the transgender experience includes a rich spiritual dimension. Our initial focus is how T* inmates are finding incredible ways to apply their spirituality to the challenges of living in a gender-oppressed environment. If their spirituality proves effective for dealing with the challenges they face each day, what does that say about how we are integrating our spirituality into our daily transgender experience?
TRANS SPIRITUALITY was a public forum for expressing diverse views. Such views are the responsibility of those who express them. These published views are not necessarily those of Jen Durr Press, its staff, or the Founding Corps of the TRD, or even the writers themselves. Hey, everyone has a right to change their mind, don't they?
