Original Plumbing

Independently published from 2009 to 2018, Original Plumbing grew from a Bay Area zine to a nationally acclaimed print quarterly dedicated to trans male culture. For nearly ten years, the magazine was the premier resource focused on the experiences, celebrations, and imaginations of trans men, featuring writing on both playful and political topics like selfies, bathrooms, and safer sex; interviews with queer icons like Janet Mock and Ian Harvie; and visual art, photography, and short fiction. This collection compiles the best of all twenty issues, reprinted in full color, with an introduction by Tiq Milan and a new preface by the founding editors.
