Abinarity, Abinaryness (abinary-ness) or Abinariety: being completely/integrally removed from gender binary; anyone whose genderness is totally unrelated to femaleness, femininity, masculinity, or maleness.

I'd like to talk some more about this particular zine, which in an abstract and surreal way deals with part of my experience of being trans and how it felt like some things just suddenly changed overnight. Like when I had my top surgery. Surgery isn't right or necessary for everyone, but for me it was like overnight the world became a new amazing place. Like a weight off my chest, haha. So this main character is just exploring this new world he one day wakes up in, and it's strangeness and his sort of feeling of happiness and curiosity mixed with reservation, because sometimes going through something rough like that leaves you feeling confused when you finally feel okay. • Anyway, the fanzine doesn't deal with anything concrete as such, but more the feelings of relief, confusion and wonder I have felt while transitioning. This isn't addressed as such within the #comic itself either, but since it's just an abstract, personal thing I didn't feel it needed to be said with those exact words. It's been very therapeutic making it, and it turned out pretty gorgeous. For anyone who wants to read it, or wants a copy, hmu I guess? I'm considering opening an etsy store to sell leftover fanzines but I'm not quite there yet.

Final part here

“transvestit”. Alltså vart ska jag ens börja. För det första är transvestit ett kränkande ord som dessutom är helt felaktigt och ofta används mot trans kvinnor. För det andra: “ett annat köns kläder” skojar ni eller? Rätt term är crossdresser och det handlar bara om hur en person klär sig, vilket inte behöver vara kopplat till deras kön.
