Original Plumbing, edited by Amos Mac and Rocco Kayiatos, was a groundbreaking magazine exploring and celebrating the lives of trans men. The magazine provided an unprecedented cultural space for trans men that was smart, funny, and sexy.  With wide-ranging content that included discussions of transitioning, relationships, masculinity, identity, work, sex, fashion, art, and literature, Original Plumbing was an essential publication that made trans male lives visible in a way they had never been before.
