Montreal Cultural Calendar

Join us for author Florence Ashley's Montreal launch of their book Gender/Fucking. The author and researcher will be in discussion with Florence Chenel. The event will consist of a discussion followed by a Q&A with the public and a book signing.

A little more about the book: Taking the idea of intellectual masturbation a little too literally, Florence Ashley draws on their experiences as a transfeminist activist, academic and slut to question what it means to live in a gendered body in our difficult but sometimes loving world. With personal essays on the fetishization of trans bodies, the healing of surgery and the loss of hope, Florence's collection celebrates the queer messiness of gender and identity.

About the author: Florence Ashley (they/them/that bitch) is a transfeminine professor of law and bioethics. A prolific transdisciplinary researcher, Florence has mesmerized many academic fields with their incisive style and irreverent footnotes. Their first book was more boringly titled Banning Transgender Conversion Practices: A Legal and Policy Analysis. When not engaged in research or teaching, Florence enjoys speaking French, oversharing on social media, and getting railed in a sundress.
