A “desire line” refers, per the queer theorist Sara Ahmed, to those “unofficial paths [that show] where people deviate from the paths they are supposed to follow. Deviation leaves its own marks on the ground…traces of desire.” In Lucie Fielding’s Trans Sex: Nurturing Trans Erotic Embodiment and Gender Pleasure, being released in its second edition this fall, Lucie invites readers to engage with the desire lines of queer and trans ingenuity, and this October 3rd at the Unicorn Bar Lounge, she will be inviting YOU into connection and exploration. In this unique book launch celebration, you can expect a reading, an interview with poet Andy Izenson, and an experiential workshop on mystifying the body—breaking out of the patterns and the meaning-making that cissexism forces on the trans body and imagining embodied and joyful trans futures.
