Join us at Audreys for the launch of Gender/F*cking: The Pleasures and Politics of Living in a Gendered Body by Florence Ashley!

Featuring critical essays, erotica, and stitched-up memories, Gender/F*cking explores sexual arousal as a site of knowledge about the self and world.

Taking the idea of intellectual masturbation a bit too literally, Florence Ashley draws on their experiences as a transfeminine activist, academic, and slut to interrogate what it means to live in a gendered body in our difficult yet occasionally loving world. With personal essays about the fetishization of trans bodies, recovering from surgery, and losing hope, Florence's collection celebrates the queer messiness of sex and identity. Through the embrace of its raw and lyrical prose, Gender/F*cking invites the reader into the intimate world of academic smut to ask what it means to be horny on main in a sex-negative world—and what power it might hold.
