Transactional Intercourse: Launch Day is Here!

Transactional Intercourse, an anthology including 30 trans and/or intersex sex workers’ writing, will serve as a snapshot of our experiences in our own words. It is now available to pre-order so we can crowdfund its publication!

Transactional Intercourse

A Trans and Intersex Sex Worker Anthology.

(Ships worldwide, with books sent from printers within Europe, the USA, and Australia to minimize costs and avoid tariffs.)

Contributors will be intersex and trans sex workers from various backgrounds in terms of ethnicity, class, disability, immigration status, sexuality and more. My goal is to prioritize the most marginalized sex workers whilst also taking care not to exclusively focus on those with difficult or traumatic experiences, so that the anthology does not give a skewed perspective.

The platform this anthology is launching on is Kickstarter for one major reason: creating this book will cost a lot of money and we can only make it happen if enough people order copies. Luckily Kickstarter is built for this, so you will only pay for your order when the campaign ends and if it is funded. If we don’t reach the goal, no-one will be charged (and the anthology unfortunately won’t be made).

You can read through all the details on the page itself, from who will contribute to a cost breakdown to what you’ll find within, but here are some of the highlights:

30 different trans and/or intersex sex workers from diverse backgrounds and with varied perspectives, all paid for their writing.

Tiers offering everything from an e-book copy all the way to limited edition hardbacks with transcripts of interviews and an exclusive podcast episode of trans and intersex sex workers!

Foreword from a sex worker activist with experience in community organizing.

The inclusion of a name of your choice on the “thank you” page of the anthology for every single person who gets a copy, including those who solely purchase an e-book.

Thank you so much to everyone who has been hyping up the plan for this anthology so far. I’m so excited to be able to share it, after years of wanting the chance to delve into this kind of project and make it happen. No more noticing gaps in literature and thinking “what a shame” and moving on - we’re going to fill the damn gaps ourselves!

Please share this to spread the word and help us reach our funding goal!

[todaysbird]

there’s been a really bizarre trend in the past couple years of TERFS/radfems getting pissed off about biology posts. posts about the bilateral gyandromorph cardinal (one half male, one half female), posts about older hens beginning to crow and act like roosters, posts about animals being animals. and it’s hilarious because they interpret these posts as some kind of agenda. no! these are animals not choosing any gender identity or sexuality but being born into bodies they have no control over. weird how that happens in nature huh

[butchosprey]

never tell terfs about white-throated sparrow or they will lose their fucking minds

[tkingfisher]

Do you want to hear about white-throated sparrows?!

Of course you do, they’re fantastic. They come in two models, one with tan head stripes and one with white head stripes. But the gene that controls stripe color also has a bunch of other effects! It’s a supergene!

To briefly sum up a grueling amount of fieldwork by people who were probably not getting paid nearly enough, basically the tan-stripes are nurturers and the white-stripes are fighters, across both males and females. White-stripes chase away intruders more, tan-stripes bring more food to the nest. Tan-stripe females bring more bugs to their chicks than white-stripes, white-stripe females are more aggressive and sing more.

There is a reason Jordan Peterson picked lobsters, not sparrows, to get all MRA about, because the sparrow ladies are ALL about the tan-striped males. Sexy nurturing tan-stripe males are immediately grabbed up by the more aggressive white-stripe females (who are also dead sexy if you’re a sparrow.) Then the remaining birds pair off, so you get tan and white couples reproducing in virtually all cases—nurturing male with aggressive female, hyper-aggressive male with hyper-nurturing female.*

And this is good!** Because it turns out that they can have a tough time if they don’t mate across stripes—white x white sparrows often come out undersized if they come out at all. There was some cool recent genetic sequencing and one particular chromosome is way funky, inverted, and scrambled in the white-stripes. So now every white-stripe has a funky chromosome and a normal one, and every tan-stripe has two normal ones.***

This is all really unique and means that white-throated sparrows effectively have four sexes, because they now only reproduce with a member of the opposite stripe and sex chromosome, and their offspring may be any one of the four sexes. The stripes have essentially become a second sex chromosome.

The geneticists involved think the funky chromosome probably showed up as a weird import from somebody gettin’ jiggy with another sparrow species. Presumably this created a hypersexy female whose white head stripes brought all the boys to the yard, and very unusually, that bred true.

Is that cool or what?!

*No word on whether there is a resulting sparrow tradwife media genre.

**Leaving aside the impact on the emotional health of the non-sexy sparrows.

**A population solely of tan-stripes can reproduce safely, they’re just not that into each other.

I reblogged this a minute ago but I’m going to reblog it again, because I want to add another non-binary bird species: the ruff.

First of all, look at it.

That’s a male ruff, specifically. You can see how they get their name. The females don’t have that fancy collar. They just look like sandpipers, which is what they are.

Like other sandpipers, these are wading birds, but they live in wet meadows and marshes instead of by the seashore. During the breeding season they gather together and the males hold territories, called leks, in which they display to attract females.

At least, some of them do.

Some male ruffs do not display in leks. They have plainer, often white, neck ruffs, and they sort of wander around the display grounds courting the females wherever. The interesting thing is that the territorial males tolerate this. Research suggests it’s because females are more interested in a display ground that has both kinds of males. The ladies like variety, it seems.

But it gets even more complicated. In 2006, a third male form was discovered. This form is extremely rare, and doesn’t have male display plumage at all. It looks just like a female ruff in the field. The other birds, however, can tell the difference, judging by their behavior. These female mimics travel with other males when the sexes split for the winter, and during homosexual mountings (which are common, as they are in many other animals), they often top.

What’s really interesting about these ‘cryptic males’, or faeders, is that they are apparently super sexy. Seriously. Females and males both prefer mating with them. And it’s believed that, like the satellite males, the presence of a faeder attracts more females to the area, which benefits all three forms.

And the thing about these forms is they are fundamentally different from one another. The plumage and behavior differences last throughout a bird’s life, and are determined by genetics. They are functionally three different genders - one of which shows natural intersex characteristics. All three can breed with females, and females are more interested in breeding when all three are present. They know that diversity is the good shit. Which makes them much, much smarter than TERFs.

WE FINALLY GOT A PROGESTERONE STUDY!!!!!!!!!!!

Addition of Progesterone Leads to Increased Breast Growth for Transgender Women | Amsterdam UMC

The addition of the hormone progesterone to gender-affirming hormone therapy leads to increased breast growth for transgender people followi

this is extremely exciting. progesterone's effect on breast growth has been under-studied for so long and as a result has stopped a lot of transfems from getting on it. this could potentially be a game changer in a great way. i'm shaking. holy fuck.

[toothmuncher3000]

viewing queer identities as “this is the label that makes me happy and feels most accurate now” rather than “this is who I am, was, and always will be” will definitely take the pressure off, friends. changing your mind is proof that you have one.
