Stripped

de Spence

This typewritten perzine describes 29-year-old Spence's struggles with his sexuality and gender, as she (the pronoun used throughout the zine) initially identifies as a hetero woman, then a queer woman, and then a trans man. Spence describes her relationship with an ex-boyfriend and tell the story of how she met her current partner, Lyndi. Spence writes about feeling ambivalent about trans identity, struggling with the idea of transitioning, and deciding to identify as trans even though she doesn't want surgery or hormones (at least right now.) Included are lots of photographs of Spence and friends, as well as some thoughts on college life and drinking.
