Totally Trans

The third Mimeographic History design is "The Transexual Menace" T-Shirt (https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/politics/a35980637/history-of-feminist-t-shirt/) The Transexual Menace was the first direct action group of its kind in the US and amongst other things would hold demonstrations outside of trials for anti-trans crimes. The shirt was designed by Ricki Wilchins and Montine Jordan to emulate the style of the Rocky Horror Picture Show logo. In her book TRANS/gressive Wilkins said "f you passed, you were safe. But pulling on the T-shirt screwed all of that forever" Profits help us keep making Totally Trans: Searching for the Trans Canon and a portion will be donated back to trans community causes.

This design is inspired by a pin that we believe was originally made by Mirha-Soleil Ross and Xanthra Phillippa MacKay for Genderpress in 1990 Profits from this design help us keep making the podcast Totally Trans: Searching for the Trans Canon and part of the profits go back to trans community causes

This design was inspired by a button spotted on the jacket of Coagula in Rachel Pollack's Doom Patrol run.

In 1959 a group of queer and trans patrons were hanging out at Cooper Do-Nuts (a popular spot between two Los Angeles gay bars), when it was police came to harass and arrest patrons for wearing clothes that were not in line with their assigned gender. As the people were being put in police cars the crowd began to throw coffee, donuts, and garbage at the police sparking the first recorded queer uprising in the United States. This is an original design based on the Cooper Do-Nuts sign and we are happy to include it in our Mimeographic History line of designs. The profits from this design help us keep making the podcast Totally Trans Searching for the Trans Canon and a portion will be donated back to trans community causes.

This design is based on pins designed by Totally Trans podcast co-host Ada-Rhodes Short while fighting anti-trans laws in Texas in 2021 Profits from sales of this design will be donated to orgs fighting for trans rights in Texas. If you would like to use this design to raise funds for a cause (or just to give out to people for free) then contact @totallytranspod on Twitter and we can send you hi-res files.

We paired down the totally trans logo so that you can show people you are TOTALLY TRANS without having to simp so hard for our podcast

The zine Transvestia was created by the Totally Trans Podcast's problematic fave Virginia Prince in 1960. While the publication created community for some trans people (predominantly white upper class trans people) it also presented a pretty limited view of what trans people and trans liberation should look like. We are including it in our Mimeographic History series because despite having a complicated cultural impact and legacy it is an important part of the history of trans art, self-publishing, and zine culture. (Note, we are absolutely using it without permission) The profits from this design help us keep making the podcast Totally Trans Searching for the Trans Canon and a portion will be donated back to trans community causes.

The logo from your favorite podcast, but ON A SHIRT!

This symbol was originally drawn by Holly Boswell for Wendy Parker who in turn drew it for Nancy Nangeroni who digitized it and put it on the lavender triangle in 1994 and has given it to the community. (https://www.gendertalk.com/tg-symbol/) Nancy asks that people make it stand for honor & integrity, compassion for all, and good humor. Nancy originally produced the design on triangular pins which is a design that has been recreated many times over the years (https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/files/0z708w436) The profits from help us keep making the podcast Totally Trans Searching for the Trans Canon and a portion will be donated back to trans community causes.

This is a variation on the Nangeroni trans community symbol to use the colors from Monica Helm's flag (1999) This symbol was originally drawn by Holly Boswell for Wendy Parker who in turn drew it for Nancy Nangeroni who digitized it and put it on the lavender triangle in 1994 and has given it to the community.

This Mimeographic History design is a play on the "Enjoy AZT" design by Vincent Gagliostro and Avram Finkelstein, 1989 (https://collection.cooperhewitt.org/objects/18645575/) AZT was criticized for being cost-prohibitive, toxic, and ineffective. This design drew attention to Burroughs Wellcome profiting off of AZT as a product while people died. Modern drugs for PrEP including Truvada and Descovy can protect people from contracting HIV which is amazing, but Gillead Sciences has maintained a monopoly on the drug, profiting massively while limiting access and availability of the life-saving medication. Profits from sales help us keep making the podcast Totally Trans. A portion will be donated back to community causes.
