TransLash Zines: Volume 8
Drawn from Resistance. Inked in Resilience. This is a comic-inspired living archive of trans histories that deserve to be known, celebrated, and remembered.
For decades, conservative donors and organizations have been laying the groundwork for this moment, pouring millions into local school board races to advance their agenda. Today, that network—spanning the Heritage Foundation, Moms for Liberty, extremist groups like the Proud Boys, Trump-aligned operatives like Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, and billionaire funders like Betsy DeVos—is reshaping local politics to dismantle public education from within, using anti-trans rhetoric as both catalyst and cover.
TransLash Media is an independent news organization that tells trans stories to save trans lives.
Our work flows from a deep commitment to the trans community. We speak boldly, think critically, and share the truth about trans lives in all their glory, beauty, and complexity.
