Summary: |
Hoax is a compilation zine created by Sari and Rachel that discusses feminism "in relation to different aspects of day-to-day life. The theme of issue 7 is "Change." The changes written about vary from changing the "call-out culture" associated with social rights activist groups to how it feels to change names as a trans* person. Contributors include personal accounts of Islamophobia in feminism, being trans* in the workplace, coping with bulimia while being feminist, parenting a daughter who practices self-harm, coping with a friend's death, questioning sexuality, being a survivor in workshops about consent, being a journalist in capitalist America, living with an alcoholic best friend, and empowering oneself by choosing a short haircut. There are articles on the importance of poetry in activism, trans-feminism, and the showmanship involved with primarily white volunteer organizations in communities composed mostly of people of color. There are two interviews in the zine: one with trans* rights lawyer Dean Spade about working in the nonprofit Sylvia Rivera Law Project, and one with fat feminist activists Tasha Fierce and Hanne Blank. |
