Trans Sex

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"In Trans Sex, Lucie Fielding invites us to imagine something so much more delicious than mere survival. What if our genders could feel good-like really, really good? What if trans pleasure wasn't the exception but the foundation? What if our joy, our bodies, our wildest erotic selves were the blueprint for liberation? With brilliance and care, Lucie reminds us that pleasure is not a detour from the work-it is the work. This is a book for those of us who know that dreaming is sacred, that softness is power, and that trans people have always been at the heart of every freedom movement worth naming. If you've ever longed for a world that's more touchable, more sensual, more free-start here."

Tourmaline, author of Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson

"You will find not a single cliche, not a single concession in these pages. Eschewing caution without ever capsizing into carelessness, Lucie Fielding has given us more than an "updated" edition of her celebrated book; she has given us a deepened and original reworking of ideas that are responsive to the current moment. Pushing past respectability politics and refusing to theorize from a defensive viewpoint, this erudite volume invites and seduces us-even dares us!-to think anew pleasure, risk, and solidarity."

Avgi Saketopoulou, psychoanalyst and author of Sexuality Beyond Consent

"Pleasure and all that it embodies-autonomy, consent, knowledge, discourse-is not only necessary but the apex of personal and cultural liberation. We are all deserving of a happy and healthy sexuality, and Trans Sex lays the groundwork. A striking balance of being nerdy while not elitist, deeply personal while incredibly well-versed, and the citation notes alone are beyond impressive. Trans Sex is a beacon of radical affirmation, education, and care in this critical time for trans rights and sexual freedoms."

Jiz Lee, queer porn star, nonbinary actor, and editor of Coming Out Like a Porn Star

"This is an essential guidebook for every medical provider, therapist, teacher, and helping professional. For those whose work centers on gender and sexuality, it is an invaluable resource they'll return to again and again. For others, it provides a foundational bedrock on which to build a practice that welcomes and supports dimensions of a client's identity and body. This book will be a vital part of promoting comprehensive literacy in these areas for years to come."
