Description: When Rachel decided to identify as "lesbian" instead of "queer," she met criticism for using a term that was exclusionary and reinforced the gender binary. In this 24-hour zine, Rachel reclaims and defines "lesbian" in a context that she intends to be neither cissexist nor transphobic. She writes about the "queer academic industrial complex" and how the lesbian label is disregarded in a cis-hetero-patriarchy because it excludes men. She says that the "second wave feminist stereotype" associated with the term "lesbian" is sexist and gendered, and attempts to define it in a new context. Rachel is also the co-editor of Hoax.
Notes: This mini perzine is a follow up to Reimagining queer community.
