Filament is a British magazine, which is available in most countries. Although it is ostensibly a women’s magazine and the photoshoots are of men (and couples that include men), they often use androgynous and genderqueer models.
I love this cover from their fifth issue, from last year. The model on the left is male bodied and the model on the right female bodied, you discover by the end of the seduction photo shoot inside. That issue is sold out now; I just wanted to let you know about a cool mag which embraces gender fluidity alongside traditional gender identity.

From the zine’s site: “Made for gender, by gender, and focused on gender, the Orange Octopus gender zine is a collaborative creative publication that celebrates the diversity of gender and gender expression with a creative, positive and pro-active outlook.” I have a copy, and it’s awesome! There are personal stories, poems, artwork and a comic, all clearly made with love and care. I read through it in one go and was left with abundant warm fuzzies for my fellow humans.

Launching this fall Stud Magazine is a dynamic and comprehensive look into the topics, issues and the lifestyles of non-gender conforming females. There are many skilled, talented and intellectual studs, but the media continuously overlooks this. Stud Magazine will enhance, showcase and promote Stud culture and identities.

Alix is a transguy struggling against a limited and restrictive healthcare system. Genderfailz #1 is written about his struggle with depression while he waits to be assessed for hormone therapy. The tedious shuffle of bureaucracy is almost too much to bear, and when his appointment finally arrives, Alix discovers that the one gender specialist in Alberta may not agree with his choices. Genderfailz explores the area between and outside of male and female, and shows through first-hand experience just how limiting gender can be.

This zine is a collection of really amazing writing, drawing, and photography on masculine femininities and other paths of gender identity exploration. There are three editions so far, each with a slightly different character. I especially enjoyed reading about claiming femininity or femme identity from a trans-male or masculine identified place. But you’ll find that the zine explores other themes too. Many contributions speak subtly and honestly about how gender, including gender-nonconformity, is tinged with more potentially anxiety-provoking ideas about race and body-image, how one is seen by lovers, how one makes a living, etc.

This is a fantastic comic-zine which goes over a summary of patriarchy, feminism, anarchy, and how they all interact. It’s funny, poignant, and bitingly witty. Also fantastic use of the term “jerk.” The comic is followed up by a discussion of ideas, which is well researched and laid out.

Got my copy of issue 1 in the mail today and WHOO BOY. Not only are the guys hot, but the writing is good too. This magazine does a great job of showing the diversity of transmasculine bodies.
