LEBIEN, Yvonne; OAKLEY, Be
GenderFail, A Decade of Queer and Trans Liberatory Writings

An anthology publication featuring 20 essays spanning a decade of work by GenderFail Press.

“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. In the last three years we have published four volumes of our GenderFail Reader series. 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. My hope is 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.”
