Transitive words.
Four years later, Jay Sennett is still surprised by the success of Homofactus Press, the digital publishing house he started in 2005. "Had you told me five years ago I would grow up to become a publisher," he wrote, "I would have scoffed." But publish he has. Homofactus Press publishes books by, for and about transgender men (and genderqueers like curve contributor Sassafras Lowrey), a niche group that has been neglected by other publishers. Homofactus Press is working hard to change things in the publishing industry. One percent of the profits are paid forward to Juliet Victor Mukasa's nonprofit, Sexual Minority Uganda (SMUG), to fight the bigotry and discrimination in her home country, and all its books are available as both PDFs and audiobooks, absolutely free to download. Homofactus is shaking things up for good.
