Not sorry

In the fourth issue of Not Sorry, queer femme Jenny Bruso shifts the focus away from body image and shines a spotlight on queerness, femme identities, and relationships. The zine contains a series of essays and anecdotes about her life. It begins with the story of how the Lilith Fair—a traveling women's music festival—inspired her queer awakening. In another piece, entitled "Potty Politics," she describes feeling intensely embarrassed and self-conscious about pooping in public restrooms, and questions why women tend to feel so ashamed of something so natural. She writes about the conference Femme 2006, in which she had the opportunity to explore her low-femme identity through a series of workshops, keynotes, and panels. Though it was an enriching experience for her in many ways, it also left her feeling alienated, as it exposed divides in the fat community between people in different size groups. The zine addresses topics such as mental health, confidence, and toxic relationships. Bruso details the many months of physical and verbal abuse she endured at the hands of her partner, and the feelings of obligation and guilt that kept her in the relationship. She also includes her thoughts on the aftermath of the relationship, in which she was stalked and harassed by her ex-partner. The zine ends on a hopeful note, with Bruso explaining that she has begun a journey of love and healing. —Alekhya
