Genderfluid: A Way of Being

“I loved your book so much. I really hope that you continue writing and publishing erotic literature as well as your essays. I couldn't put your book down and I found the last part so entirely captivating and erotic. I also really appreciated the concept of genderfluidity as not tied to a masculine identity but as its own identity that allows complete freedom of expression. Thank you for sharing such an intimate part of yourself and I really look forward to reading more of your work if you ever share more.”

“Genderfluid: A Way of Being is a courageous self-examination of an emerging genderfluid identity. Its formally inventive literary structure combines a personal memoir, a reflective essay that situates the writer in contemporary debates about the use of the language of gender, and a fictional story that allows an exploration of gender structures and their psychic components. In addition, there is a gallery of pictures showing the author in both masculine-presenting and feminine-presenting modes. The diverse form of the writing parallels the internal diversity of gender identity which is the book’s subject. It is a remarkable combination of careful self-examination and a cry for acceptance of fluid, plural, gender identity. It will be a helpful handrail for those experiencing similar issues and is also a thoughtful contemporary document for those interested in changing social mores.”

“I came to this book without having thought much about genderfluidity or the experience of being transgendered. I had no understanding of what motivates people to take pleasure in putting gender into play. But reading the opening memoir of the book immediately drew me in to the hidden world it unveils — of first dates in bars, evening strolls, and intimate encounters that all unfold in an unknown corner of a person’s life — a person who could be your closest friend or sister or colleague. The book reveals, in a powerful way, many of the illusions we maintain to police the boundaries of gender, and how gender stability is a kind of mirage. Like some of the great confessional memoirs in history, or coming of age novels, the narratives and reflections in this book made a whole world seem less foreign to me and cast my own life and choices in a new light.”
