As some of you know, someone in the community decided to get rid of their collection of magazines. They offered them to me because someone told them that I was interested in transgender history. Well, as it turned out, about half of the print media of any historical value (1960s, 70s, 80s & early 90s) happened to also be pornographic – especially the 1960s/70s stuff. The older magazines have about 3/4 porn content and about 1/4 news and current events (which are really interesting – especially to see trans folk from the 60s/70s being out and proud!)… The down-side to the donation was that I had to sort through a ton of very odd BDSM magazines… I never knew there were… apparently, SEVERAL types of magazines dedicated to the intricate workings of an enema bag! Anyway, now I’m stuck with 40 years of kinky magazines sitting in my meditation room : (
I am so exited! There was some real gems in the middle of all the crap:
Check this out! …
This is the Houston Voice before it was the Houston Voice (1988)
This is a rare book on TG issues published in 1968… and the editor was Virginia Prince!
… And wow… the newsletter… The Femme Forum… from 1972!
Plus… as an added bonus, there is A LOT of old newsletters from the old Houston TG Groups! I just know I’ll be spending hours and hours scanning this stuff and converting it to PDF files!
Oh, and just for FYI… the following is a pic of all the BDSM crap… there is like 3 times the amount of this stuff:
Seriously, I know some of you folks are into this stuff…. How much would you be willing to donate to a good cause (The TG Community Fund) to be able to take 40 years of BDSM reading material off my hands (and out of my meditation room!!!)?
