"Trans male culture would certainly not be the same without his creative force
I first met Amos Mac at the opening of a group show we were both in at the Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art in 2012. As a fan of Original Plumbing, the trans male culture quarterly he founded with Rocco Kayiatos, I made a point of finding him and introducing myself. It was immdiately obvious why he's so popular: Amos Mac possesses that enviable mix of teen-idol-adorable and bad-boy-mischievous looks. Not only does he publish one the coolest queer zines around, he also creates most of its content. At the time, he had recently released his collaboration with Zackary Drucker, Translady Fanzine, which succinctly describes itself as "a fine art photographic periodical, a collaboration between model and photographer, trans woman and trans man, visual proof of contemporary trans existence." That's precisely what all of Mac's endeavors are about: change and visibility."
