Genderfail: A Decade of Queer and Trans Liberatory Writings

GenderFail: A Decade of Queer and Trans Liberatory Writings is an anthology featuring 17 essays spanning a decade of work by GenderFail Press. These 130 pages encompass the best of GenderFail's ongoing work- if you're new to their publications, this is the perfect place to start.

"At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we released our first GenderFail Reader. This first edition compiled essays from previously published zines and other written essays by myself (Be Oakley) and my partner, Yvonne LeBien. We have published four volumes of our GenderFail Reader series in the last three years. This book you are currently holding is a capstone of all four volumes, including essays, artworks, and ideas that have helped to formulate GenderFail during the last 10 years of the project. These essays speak to the interests, research, and passions that drive GenderFail and highlight the powerful agency behind self and small publishing. I hope that these essays inspire you to future actions, dreams, hopes, and new worlds that center people and communities fighting for a world without colonialism, white supremacy, capitalism, ableism, and heteronormative oppression."
