Czyzselska speaks with practitioners and clients from diverse modalities and livedexperiences, exploring and rethinking some of the unique challenges encountered in a world that continues to marginalize queer lives.The contributors to Queering Psychotherapy present key insights and practical advice in adynamic conversational format, providing intimate access to therapists?personal and professional knowledge and reflections.

Demeter Press Chasing Rainbows: Exploring Gender Fluid
Book SynopsisFeminist parenting creates unique challenges. As women experience the unique powerlessness of motherhood, they also hold the uncomfortable power of acting as advocates for and as agents of socialization and social control over their children. Fathers may feel the desire for feminist parenting whilst experiencing a backlash and a lack of sup- port, while some parents may attempt to resist the binaries of mothering and fathering in their feminist parenting journey. Feminist parents may attempt to resist gender binaries; they may submit to them while attempting to foster critical dialogue; they may struggle with the display of their own femininity and masculinity or, for some, its perceived lack. This book attempts to cast a lens on the messy and convoluted ways that feminist parents approach parenting their children in gender aware and gender fluid ways.

Apollo Publishers Trans New York: Photos and Stories of Transgender
Book SynopsisA visually stunning, award-winning photography book of transgender New Yorkers, complete with thought-provoking and revealing interviews that honor the transgender community and the courage it takes to find oneself and defy societal norms. A growing portion of the LGBTQ+ community identifies as transgender; they are family members, friends, neighbors, and colleagues, and yet they are all-too-often stigmatized and misunderstood. This visual tour de force presents exquisite portraits of more than fifty New Yorkers who identify as trans, genderqueer, or gender nonbinary, and interviews with them in which they reveal who they are and what their transitions were like and combat common misconceptions and stereotypes.The vibrant, honest photographs were taken on the streets of New York or in iconic places like Grand Central Station, and together the photos and interviews provoke questions on gender identity, the gender spectrum, and gender expectations. In total, this is an unparalleled articulation of the expressions of sexuality, gender, and self that New York, in all of its beauty, honesty, and compassion, welcomes, as well as a celebration of the power of finding oneself and a compelling call for respect and acceptance.In addition to enlightening text from more than fifty members of New York’s trans community and the author, award-winning documentary photographer Peter Bussian, there are inspiring longer essays and an extraordinary foreword by the celebrated trans activist Abby Chava Stein. Trans New York is the winner of a prestigious International Photography Award (IPA) for its superb images.Trade Review“If a picture says a thousand words, fifty pictures of trans people along with their written experiences tell a story in a uniquely hopeful way, asking readers to see the humanity and complexity of the trans community and all of the different people within it.”—Publishers Weekly“An award-winning photographer best known for his work in conflict zones has turned his lens on New York’s transgender community with stunning results.”—The Article “Trans New York is an astonishing book that balances the extraordinary and the ordinary to create something close to truth. Bussian's photographs are elegant and beautiful in their normality, often sitting at odds with the brutal realities of life as told by New York's trans community. A fine and mature piece of work.”—Andrea Busfield, Journalist and Author of Born Under a Million Shadows “Peter Bussian's photographs are subtle, respectful, interesting, and arresting, which make for an important book at an important time.”—Jack Parsons, Photographer“Peter's book is a celebration of life where the images are speaking a valid and understandable language. The subjects are as beautiful, comfortable, or awkward as others breathing the same air and experiencing the same sunlight and darkness. Their unique stories transmit value and transcend societal barriers across the world.” —Jamal Shah, Actor and Director General of the Pakistan National Council of the Arts“Peter Bussian's book is beautiful. New York City in all its grit, glamour, and uniqueness serves as a perfect backdrop in the telling of the remarkable stories of the proud, brave, beautiful trans community Mr. Bussian profiles. Each person's story is totally singular in the telling and photography. I came away with a greater understanding of and respect for all of these beautiful souls who are living their truth, and a real yearning for the city they call home.”—Arianna Zukerman, Opera Singer and Educator“An extraordinary visual essay on love, courage, and finding oneself.”—Raynbow Affair Magazine “Trans New York is a beautiful depiction of the trans individuals and community that make up the city. Photographed all over New York and set to backdrops that range from iconic landmarks to private spaces to lesser-known city blocks, the settings are as beautiful, interesting, and varied as the subjects themselves. Just as New York is not only one thing, not just the empire state building, nor only Flushing, Queens, or Williamsburg, Brooklyn, not just SoHo or Central Park, this book deftly and elegantly displays the trans community in all their divergent beauty.”—Alyssa Blumstein, photographer of People of the Pride Parade“What’s striking are the photos themselves; both in their beauty and how ‘normal’ the portraits are.”—Palo Alto Weekly“I learned so much from reading this book and I recommend this book to everybody.” —Stacy White, The Etiquette Show

Rutgers University Press Tortilleras Negotiating Intimacy: Love,
Book SynopsisTortilleras Negotiating Intimacy: Love, Friendship, and Sex in Queer Mexico City is the first ethnography in English to focus primarily on women’s sexual and intimate cultures in Mexico. The book shows the transformation of intimacy in the lives of three generations of women in queer spaces in contemporary Mexico City, as their sexual citizenship changes, including references to same-sex marriage and anti-discrimination laws. The book shows how these individuals reconfigure relationships through marriage, polyamory, friendship, and sex. Tortilleras Negotiating Intimacy suggests that “new” intimate cartographies are emerging in Mexico City, ultimately redefining relationships, gender, and mexicanidad. Building on ethnographic data collected over the past decade, including forty-five in-depth interviews with women between the ages of twenty-two and sixty-five participating in LGBT spaces, Tortilleras Negotiating Intimacy shows how lesbian women (mainly cis, but some trans) negotiate friendship, same-sex marriage, polyamory, and sexual practices, reinventing love, eroticism, friendship, and ultimately the social organization of Latin American societies.Trade Review“Well researched, carefully written, and highly original, Tortilleras Negotiating Intimacy is a transformative ethnographic exploration of women’s sexuality in Mexico City. This truly pioneering, sorely needed book privileges social relations above static conceptions of identity, highlighting lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, and polyamorous experiences in el ambiente. It is a key contribution to queer, women’s, and Latin American studies.” -- Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes * author of Translocas: The Politics of Puerto Rican Drag and Trans Performance *"This rich and thoroughly captivating ethnography challenges US centered discourse on sexual cultures to explore how diverse sexual and affective practices such as polyamory, non-monogamy, casual hook-ups, and queer domesticity have been imagined and lived among different generations of queer Latinas in Mexico City. Through sustained interviews that are by turn candid and illuminating, humorous and tender, Russo Garrido’s text highlights how radical forms of friendship, love, community, and intimacy might function as world making practices of self and collective care." -- Juana María Rodríguez * author of Sexual Futures, Queer Gestures, and Other Latina Longings *"An in-depth exploration into the changes in women’s sexualities in Latinx cultures, the volume examines marriage, polyamory, queerness, gender, love and friendship." * Ms. Magazine *Table of ContentsContents Introduction, Intimate Contestations: Love, Friendship and Sex in Queer Mexico City 1 Polyamory, Open Relationships y Otros Amoresde Familia 2 On Friendship and the Production of Lesbiana Worlds 3 Sex- Stretching the Body: A New Erotic Cartography 4 Counter-Mapping el Ambiente in Queer Times and Spaces 5 Epilogue Acknowledgements Notes Bibliography Index

Sternberg Press The Disintegration of a Critic
Book SynopsisCollected texts by cultural critic, auto/biographer, and lesbian icon Jill Johnston.Jill Johnston—cultural critic, auto/biographer, and lesbian icon—began her career at the Village Voice as a critic of dance and performance, writing about Merce Cunningham, Martha Graham, the activities at Judson Church, Allan Kaprow and Happenings, Fluxus, and the downtown New York art scene. The column eventually became more personal than critical, allowing her to discuss her life, her sexuality, and her politics. This book brings together thirty texts Johnston wrote for the Voice between 1960 and 1974, beginning with her early dance coverage and continuing though the time when, as she put it, the column moved “from the theatre of dance and happenings toward the theatre of my life.”As Johnston abandoned an objective critical standpoint, her column interwove forms and formats, and political, literary, art-historical, and critical perspectives, taking turns and loops, reflecting its time and contexts—with the one constant being Johnston's unmistakable, witty, intimate voice. As a person and as a writer she pioneered a model that not only challenged notions of writerly appropriateness but also performed and created a new lesbian identity. This collection also includes texts by Ingrid Nyeboe, Johnston's long-time partner and spouse; Bruce Hainley; and Jennifer Krasinski. An appendix collects material related to a 1969 panel discussion organized by Johnston (featuring Andy Warhol, Ultra Violet, and Carolee Schneemann, among others) that gives this volume its title: “The Disintegration of a Critic: An Analysis of Jill Johnston.” Copublished with Bergen Kunsthall
