Transactional Intercourse - Paperback

by Jack V. Parker (Author)

Transactional Intercourse is an anthology of trans and intersex sex workers' writing, including essays and personal narratives from 30 contributors. People who do not conform to society's expectations with regards to our sex and gender are typically either overlooked or made into hypervisible subjects of mockery and hatred, and this is compounded further when we engage in stigmatized labour like sex work. With this in mind, Transactional Intercourse contains a range of perspectives to create a collection which is not solely about empowerment or trauma. It covers topics regarding public opinion of trans and intersex sex workers, stereotypes, family reactions, intersections between whorephobia and other forms of bigotry, client behaviour, the politicization of our identities, and the day-to-day experiences of the writers.
