Join us for a creative evening of sex positive discussion and zine making that will explore how being trans or non-binary affects our sex, kink and intimacy with others.
Our goal is to provide a discussion space for people to muse on how being trans or non-binary has impacted their sex and sexuality, using a creative outlet to summarise and detail what you know about yourself and things you may have learned. Everyone will leave the event with their very own, personal little zine all about their unique trans or non-binary body and what they like (and don't like) to do with it. You will be guided through the creation of your zine by our facilitators and have complete control over what you write or draw about. This zine will hopefully form a complete guide to your pleasure that you can take home and share with partners or friends alike, no more unfulfilling sex or awkward intimacy!
Even if you choose to simply observe, you will hear from others in our community about how their relationship with their bodies and how they have sex has been affected by being trans* and how it may have changed as a result of dysphoria, HRT or surgeries. There will be opportunities to share your own experiences if you would like to as well. Everyone is welcome, even if they have not undergone any medical transitioning.
The entire event is held in a private upstairs room at The Pride Shop, a vibrant LGBTQ+ cafe and events venue, where refreshments and snacks are available in a welcoming environment. The Pride Shop opens at 10am so feel free to come by early and make a day of it! Doors for the event open 3:15pm and the event starts at 3:30pm. The event ends at 5:30pm, but you are welcome to stay and have a bite or browse in the cafe till it closes at 6pm.
Tickets are £4, inclusive of fees, and we are offering a number of ‘pay what you can’ tickets so that the price is not a barrier for entry. We ask that those who can buy the general admission tickets to save the ‘pay what you can’ tickets for those who might need them. There is also an option to donate - this will be used to ensure more ‘pay what you can’ tickets are available and any extra will go towards running this event again. All facilitators and organisers of this event are volunteering their time.
