Thesis for final paper

First, I'd like to store some of my sources so I don't lose them. 
Zines: A Personal History by Elizabeth O'Brien
Zines, Half-lives, and After-lives: On the Temporalities of Social and Political Change by Janice Radway
The Bustin' and Bitchin' Ethe of Third Wave Zines by Brenda M Helbrecht
Auto/Assemblage: Reading the Zine by Anna Poletti
I've been searching for some work on the issue of transsexual men, but frankly it's been very hard to find a commentary on something relevant to what the author of my primary source has experienced.

Previously I had discussed Short and Queer by Kelly and possible research questions.  After re-reading some of the publications, and going through some sources, I should focus on how the openess of the zine, especially in regards to Kelly, contributes to the discussion of sensitive issues where some voices are less heard.  That said, my thesis as of now is:
Unlike the speculative nature of a scholarly article, the intimate details and unrestricted level of free speech in Kelly's zine, Short and Queer, provide a small yet valuable insight into the experiences of a transsexual man.
I have concerns about how concise, or lack thereof, this is, since it has to be a much longer discussion than the previous papers, but of course I don't want my argument to lose strength.  That said, I'm planning on first discussing the some of the ways zines offer a close discussion between people of similar interest while still retaining the privacy of those involved, thus opening the door for unhindered conversation.  Next I plan to go over Short and Queer and how her zine is very much like the others in terms of having a close relationship between the author and audience.  Then, I thought I might talk about how scholars have understood transgender people in the past briefly, and contrasting it with how Kelly discusses it.  This is all I have so far, but I think it's a start.
