Description: "Fundamentally concerned with the autonomy of trans women, this radical work of care by Valerie McLaren titled Anorexic becomings examines the ways we act upon ourselves when we cannot act with/upon this world.  Or, rather, how we act upon our bodies as a way of striking out at a world predicated on controlling and consuming us.  The interweaving of quotes, original writing, and the repurposing of enemy texts which makes up this zine exceeds itself, it means so much more than what rests on the page; a conversation between the author and editor is included in this booklet to draw out some of those meanings."--Back cover.
