Informationen zum Autor Tristan Taormino is an American feminist author, columnist, sex educator, activist, editor, speaker, radio host, and pornographic film director. Klappentext "Take Me There" is a passion project for Tristan Taormino, who presents erotica by, for, and about transfolk, FTMs, MTFs, genderqueers, gender outlaws, as well as two-spirit, intersex, and gender-variant people in her newest anthology. Among the diverse array of voices in "Take Me There," one important theme running throughout the stories is the power of seeing and being seen. It's not simply about passing, but about being acknowledged and desired in a sexual context. Affirmation and want collide in Andrea Zanin's story of a baby butch dyke and the transwoman she picks up in a small-town cafe. Likewise, the main character in Helen Boyd's "All Girl Action" longs to be touched as a woman by other queer women. The characters of these stories are ready and willing to go there -- and they do, over and over again. Zusammenfassung In mainstream media! the erotic identities! sex lives! and fantasies of transgender and genderqueer people are often oversimplified! sensationalized! or invisible. Take Me There is an erotica collection unlike any other that celebrates the pleasure! heat! and diversity of transgender and genderqueer sexualities. The power of seeing and being seen is a central theme in the anthology; it's not simply about passing or not passing (an idea often explored with transgender characters)! but about being acknowledged and desired in a sexual context.
