Lilac Peril #1
Taboo
When the fact of our existence is taboo, what do trans people still not want to talk about, even amongst ourselves?
30+ trans writers and artists gesture towards this question in Lilac Peril Issue 01: Taboo, taking a hard look at what we would often rather ignore. There are all the ways we reproduce the hurts of the world onto each other: racism, misogyny, ableism, whore- and fatphobia. There’s kink and fetish and how we sanitize sex from ourselves. There are hot takes turned serious—Is our deep-set identification with children’s media holding us back? Can T4T actually solve the problem of relating to others? Could sissy hypno be hopeful?
In this moment of escalating hostility against us, we offer this: the works of trans writers and artists showing us what we do not always want, but often need, to look at.
