Otters in goggles and a knock-down, drag-out list of major swimming organization's policies about transgender athletes? Why not both? Written by a swimming enthusiast in their 30s, Drag Suit: A Nonbinary Swim Zine is a zine is about the intersection of swimming with gender diversity and bodies. Drag Suit focuses on the author's personal experiences as a queer, nonbinary swimmer using swimming as part of their self care after an abusive relationship. The zine also links those experiences to systemic transphobia in sports and offers suggestions on how to make your pool and gym more equitable.

Drag Suit is an amazing zine made of equal parts memoir and positive affirmation. The writing is powerful, polished, and a pleasure to read, and I would heartily recommend this zine even to people who don’t identify as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer. For members of the queer community, however, the zine contains a carefully annotated list of resources to take along with you on the journey of feeling more comfortable in your gender and physicality. The layout and formatting are clean and professional, and the well-organized structure of zine helps to make it accessible to people who may only have a few short windows of time to read during the day. I also appreciate the zine’s inclusivity and respect for diversity. The author’s experiences are uniquely their own yet relatable to anyone who’s ever experienced gender trouble

Ah!! I loved this so much and there are so many uses for it. I took forever to post my review only because I didn’t get a chance to read it until very recently. But seriously, the art is absolutely charming, I mean the very idea of this zine - I just had to have it. I’ll be using this if I ever get organized to plant a garden, for my witchcraft, and you know if I ever find myself a group of queer friends who appreciate plants this much I’ll be recommending this book and running around exchanging bouquets and such XD
