Speaking Sex to Power: The Politics of Queer Sex

In his first non-fiction book since coming out as a female-to-male transsexual, this completely up-to-date collection of essays charts Califia's provocative and often controversial take on sex, gender and politics. Often conflicting with the conservative mainstream as well as much of the lesbian, gay and feminist movements, these essays discuss anti-porn feminists, the failure of America's drug policy, and state repression of S/M and pornography. He also writes intimately of his decision to transition in gender against the backdrop of his mother's death from breast cancer.
