For decades trans studies and queer theory have addressed the trans body as an abstraction, a site of gender, instead of a site for desire and or pleasure. But bodies do things, and different kinds of bodies do different kinds of things. This book explains how sex and embodied pleasure went missing from trans studies and queer theory, and uses the author’s first person auto-ethnographic accounts to chart a path back for trans studies to engage the everyday realities of trans people’s erotic lives and experiences.
