A hand holds up the zine in front of a white background. It has colourful cartoony illustrations. The left-hand page says, "REAL TALK: Trans Women' are often dependent on their aggressors for housing, protection, and financial stability, or have a transactional relationship with them. Trans Women' may need to continue these relationships after the altercation is over. Tasers, mace, & guns can be options for other sorts of situations, but they won't be covered in this study guide for this reason." The right-hand page says: "CHAPTER 4, illustrated by GAIA WXYZ: SAFETY IN NUMBERS - Really, this is the best thing to do, always"
A hand holds up the zine in front of a white background. It has colourful cartoony illustrations. The left-hand page says, "QUESTION: Running away from a fight is the best way to survive. But what happens later if you run from a school bully? A parent? A neighbor? A partner? ONE STRATEGY: Show that you're at least a little dangerous. You don't have to win a fight in order for bullies to think twice next time. Word will get around that you aren't an easy target. ANOTHER STRATEGY: Most bullies aren't willing to risk anything, so: Raise the stakes on them past where they are comfortable continuing. THESE ARE RISKY RESPONSES. ONLY USE THESE IF YOU." The right-hand page says: "POSTURING 101: SHOULDERS DOWN SHOOT THOSE EYE DAGGERS There are lots of ways to posture to let people know you mean business. If you don't have a stance yet, try starting with this: relax, but don't go limp lower your forehead & look up through your eyebrows put your weight slightly forward drop your shoulders drop your focus into your lower belly, not your head putting up fists too early can get you decked unnecessarily picture wolves in your mind, or cornered cats or something"
