Gendrfailz. #1, The first appointment : a zine / by Alix Kemp.

Genderfailz

First appointment

The first issue of this perzine by a transgender man in his early 20s is laid out in a series of journal entries and discusses topics like name changes, finding a trans-friendly doctor, medication, and Canada's requirement in order to receive hormone therapy one must intend to have a complete surgical sex change. The zine also includes pictures of identification cards and explanations of gender reassignment surgery.

"Alix is a transguy struggling against a limited and restrictive healthcare system. Genderfailz #1 is written about his struggle with depression while he waits to be assessed for hormone therapy. The tedious shuffle of bureaucracy is almost too much to bear, and when his appointment finally arrives, Alix discovers that the one gender specialist in Alberta may not agree with his choices. Gendrfailz explores the area between and outside of male and female, and shows through first-hand experience just how limiting gender can be."-- From publisher.
