"WE figured we'll print 500 copies and they'll take months to sell," Rocco Kayiatos said the other day, referring to Original Plumbing, a quarterly he started a little over a year ago with a friend, Amos Mac.

"We just thought there was a need because the world is pretty much ignorant of the existence of transmen," said Mr. Kayiatos, a poet and rapper who performs under the name Katastrophe and who, like Mr. Mac, identifies himself as a transman.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
