"As a psychotherapist and trainer, I am so excited that this book
exists! Lucie Fielding has created a wonderful resource for trans
communities in a way that is grounded in context and the many
dimensions of experience that might affect trans sex and
sexualities. What a refreshingly thoughtful yet humble take on
topics that are so often misunderstood, neglected, or
oversimplified! Fielding does an excellent job of providing an
overview of interesting and relevant concepts related to trans
sexualities, and pieces by invited contributors did an excellent
job of bridging theory and practice. Well written and thoughtfully
laid out for the reader, as well as grounded in social justice and
intersectional frameworks, I recommend this book to anyone who
wants to deepen their understanding and practice in a more nuanced,
complex way when working with concerns related to trans experiences
and sexuality." — Sand Chang, PhD, author of A Clinician’s Guide to
Gender-Affirming Care."This is an essential guidebook for every
medical provider, therapist, social worker, teacher, and helping
professional, whether their work focuses on sexuality and gender or
not. For those whose work centers these topics, this book is an
invaluable resource they'll return to again and again. For those
for whom these topics have been peripheral, it will provide a
foundational bedrock on which to build a practice where all
dimensions of a client or patient's identity and body are fully
welcomed and supported. Written by an author with rare insight,
garnered through transitioning while training as a sex therapist,
it speaks to providers in language that demonstrates, as well as
explains, how to be present with trans and nonbinary clients.
Ongoing training in sexuality and gender is necessary for ethical
practice. This book will be a vital part of promoting comprehensive
literacy in these areas for years to come." — Emily Nagoski, PhD,
author of Come As You Are: The Surprising Science that Will
Transform Your Sex Life."Trans Sex: Clinical Approaches to Trans
Sexualities and Erotic Embodiments is the book I want every
clinician, educator and medical health provider who works with
trans and/or nonbinary people to read. Lucie Fielding has created
an essential resource that was long overdue in the field of sex
therapy and that will be essential reading for many providers
outside of our field as well. As well as sharing her own knowledge
and wisdom, the author has included activities and practical
applications by an incredible range of practitioners. This book is
a treasure trove of information and I urge you to read it." — Alex
Iantaffi, PhD, MS, SEP, CST, LMFT, author of How To Understand Your
Gender; Life Isn’t Binary; and Gender Trauma: healing cultural,
social and historical gendered trauma."Too much of the literature
on gender transness falls off the balance beam, either ignoring
trans sexuality or sexually objectifying trans people. Lucie
Fielding’s Trans Sex hits a sweet spot. It offers psychotherapists,
medical care providers, sex educators and other professionals a
compassionate and deeply grounded guide to working with trans folx
and our sexualities. It is simultaneously erudite and approachable,
practical and theoretical, permission-granting and
boundary-setting, and encourages the kind of respectful, ethical
curiosity about our lives on which successful therapies depend." —
