Sex Change U.S.A.

Remember the tantalizing mystery of supermarket tabloids? Sensational, disposable, promising a world of salacious secrets at the supermarket check-out for the price of a candy bar. In the late 90s/early 2000s, these magazines were dishing up the stories of real trans people to the everyday American public. Daisy Thursday is a lifelong lover of the tabloid and has been collecting and archiving these stories for the last two years.

Shapeless Press debuts highlights from Daisy’s collection in zine form, prefaced by her original essay and bookended with an experiment in autofiction, tabloid-style, by our editor, Glen Rodman.

Sex Change USA is part queer history archive, part tabloid, collecting zany stories of trans lives that you won’t be able to read anywhere else!
