Issue 13: Atlanta - Welcome to HOTLANTA: Home of sweet tea and SWEET T! Get your trans Southern Charm right here in OP's first ever city-specific issue.

Issue 14: Board Stiff - Celebrating skateboarders, snowboarders, long boarders, surf boarders... You get it. Gnarly.

Issue 15: Selfie - There's a whole lotta navel gazing going on! And that's okay. We’re living through a very important time: Trans people are being seen in mainstream media more frequently, but how much of what we see is being created through a "trans lens"?

Issue 16: Lit - Focusing on the written word and featuring some favorites in the current trans literary movement, we highlight the work and careers of trans writers with articles, interviews and excerpts. Including a poetry chapter, publishing tips, how Leslie Feinberg inspired trans writers and much more.

Issue 17: Tattoo - Ink, and lots of it! What do your tattoos say about you? This issue focuses on the love of tattoos, highlighting the stories on your skin through brilliant photo essays, personal narratives and interviews. We talk with those who create, cover-up, promote, and are inspired by tattoos – from the stick-n-poke savvy to those who appreciate traditional flash. This issue features writers, artists and models based in Hong Kong, London, Brighton and throughout the United States.

Issue 18: Beyond Bathrooms - With discussions around the challenges, laws and activism that go hand in hand with public restroom drama some trans people face daily, we also focus on self-care and love in what sometimes feels like a less-than-friendly time to be trans in the world. 

Issue 19: Art - Focusing on themes around art as activism while touching on fine art and accessibility, artist interviews include topics of art as survival, finding your voice as an artist, and creating your own space in the process.
