Trans in the Machine is fully funded!

But with under a week left, there’s still time to hit some stretch goals.

The more we make, the more goes to good causes and mutual aid.

So, shout it loud and share far and wide. Post anywhere you can think of.

You’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover…

But come on. @lyssmenold.bsky.social has created something absolutely incredible.

And yes, superlatives are very much required when it comes to Trans+ art. Just look at it!

I only hope the inside of the book will turn out as good.

An excerpt from "The Missile Knows Where It Is" by Petra Skelton, a story in the anthology Embodied Exegesis. Cover art by Lyss Menold This story is about a trans person who is turned into a weapon in exchange for affirming trans healthcare. On target. I am on target and of the focus and of the aim. My arm is my arm and I am a whole and perfect thing. Pure of purpose, clear of morality, sworn to secrecy by means beyond my simple mind. I am my own world, ripping through the tissue paper reality that envelopes my form.
