“Taking the idea of intellectual masturbation a bit too literally, Florence Ashley draws on their experiences as a transfeminine activist, academic, and slut to interrogate what it means to live in a gendered body in our difficult yet occasionally loving world. With personal essays about the fetishization of trans bodies, recovering from surgery, and losing hope, Florence’s collection celebrates the queer messiness of sex and identity.

Through the embrace of its raw and lyrical prose, Gender/Fucking invites the reader into the intimate world of academic smut to ask what it means to be horny on main in a sex-negative world—and what power it might hold.” – Clash Books

Last sentence of the book

Over the last few years, I’ve been writing about the conviction among cis parents that being trans is a social contagion that has climbed to heights of pandemic proportion. I have dedicated myself to proving the fallacy of the suggestion. Writing these words, I firmly believe that they are wrong. But as I reflect on embodying t4t, I can’t help but wonder whether fertile avenues of understanding may be opened up by thinking trans as contagious, as a sexually transmissible condition. Though I would never adopt it in my legal or bioethical scholarship, I suspect it holds the seeds of a poetic, affective truth. I fuck, date, and love trans girls. I fuck, date, and love trans girls even when neither of us knows we are. I love them before they come out, holding open the possibility that every cis person is at a stage of becoming towards transness. I love them so much, I make trans girls. It may not be quite true, but I feel it in my bones.
