Recommended Readings
The following section contains lists of books and zines for individuals and relationships exploring sex, sexualities, and gender. They are all books, broken down by subject, that I often recommend to clients, colleagues, and friends alike. Sex education that is inclusive of—or, better yet, centers!—the experiencing and embodiments of queer, trans, disabled, elder, and BIPoC folx can be hard to come by. Thus, I tend to feature books and zines on this list that do just that! The lists will be updated often so check back! Last updated: 8/17/2021
