New journal of trans and gender-diverse creativity launches

transitive rag, a journal for trans and gender-diverse creativity, has launched its first issue.

The quarterly online journal will publish poetry, personal writing, art and digital projects from transgender and gender-diverse artists in Australia and abroad.

“This new project provides space for trans and gender-diverse creatives to platform the works they are most excited about,” said founder, poet and writer Ori Diskett. “We’re publishing the subversive, the maligned, the ignored, the too-complicated; works that are ugly in their prettiness or pretty in their ugliness.

“I named the magazine transitive because trans art is transitive – it does something to you. And it’s a rag because we’re trashy – our art and writing is too often rejected in favour of sensibilities.”

Issue 1 was released 17 October 2025.

More information is available on the journal’s website.
