Transland: Consent, Kink, and Pleasure by Mx. Sly
dark
emotional
reflective
medium-paced
3.5
transland is a deeply introspective memoir on self-authorship, kink, consent, and harmful practices within unexpected communities. i could not put this book down and have found myself wanting to pick it up again to see if a new essay has appeared.
mx. sly captivates you with a raw and intimate dive into their relationship with fetish, gender, and sexuality. they humanize fetish and its liberating qualities while also analyzing its relationship to their own trauma and those in the community that use it to control and harm.
each essay shares a different (or repeated) relationship, often a specific fetish, and then a growth from said experience. there are some essays that are difficult to read due to their content. i would recommend reading the warnings before beginning.
this book is for your friend that says “i don’t like to kink shame, but…”
(i held my own prejudices about specific sexual proclivities prior to reading. this book may change your mind!)
