<DIV>In mainstream media, the erotic identities, sex lives, and fantasies of transgender and genderqueer people are often oversimplified, sensationalized, or invisible. <I>Take Me There</I> is an erotica collection unlike any other that celebrates the pleasure, heat, and diversity of transgender and genderqueer sexualities. The power of seeing and being seen is a central theme in the anthology; it's not simply about passing or not passing (an idea often explored with transgender characters), but about being acknowledged and desired in a sexual context.<BR><BR>The book takes you from San Francisco to Israel, from heartache to lust, from stranger sex to a 10 year anniversary, from ballet shoes to butt plug bondage tables, from fumbling teenagers to leatherclad bears, from MTF and FTM?and in between and beyond.<BR><BR>Featuring renowned authors Kate Bornstein (<I>Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation</I>), Patrick Califia (<I>Speaking Sex to Power</I>), S. Bear Bergman (<I>Butch is a Noun</I>), Ivan Coyote (<I>Missed Her</I>), Julia Serrano (<I>Whipping Girl</I>), Laura Antoniou (<I>The Marketplace</I>), Helen Boyd (<I>My Husband Betty</I>), Rachel Kramer Bussel (<I>Gotta Have It</I>), Toni Amato (<I>Pinned Down by Pronouns</I>), Alicia E.
