A DIY GUIDE TO GENDER HACKING

A DIY Guide To Gender Hacking is for anyone who has ever thought about their gender for more than five minutes. It’s a space where you can explore whatever you want without needing to commit. Maybe this could have been called A Non Committal Guide to Gender. Like everything else in this book, there are no rules, so you can call it what you want.

This guide is a smorgasbord of niche gender experiences that we don’t always get to indulge in. It’s for the chronically online, the Y2K stans, the conceptual thinkers, the dreamers, and those with a sweet tooth for imagination. It’s the MySpace of gender exploration and an adventure through queer (sub)culture: collage, astrology, fashion, personal ads, a lot of absurdity - and a splash of taboo, maybe? You can decide.
