Tuck Woodstock w/ Serena Hommes, SEX CHANGE AND THE CITY

Journalist, educator, and creator of the podcast Gender Reveal, Tuck Woodstock, visits the store to discuss the latest anthology from Girl Dad Press, Sex Change and the City, featuring personal essays, critical analysis, comics, poetry, artwork, games, and steamy short stories by 46 fabulous LGBTQ+ contributors. Tuck is joined by actor and writer Serena Hommes, one of the contributors.

Sex and the City fans, queer literature lovers, and anyone who’s ever made an AO3 account will enjoy this highly-anticipated anthology, which combines the incisiveness of critical theory with the raw heart and boundless creativity of an old-school fanzine. Inspired by the classic TV series, the collection goes beyond asking “Are you a Miranda?” to consider more pressing questions, like “When will Miranda start HRT and begin going by Hobbes?”

This all-queer, mostly-trans anthology includes thoughtful meditations on the shame of secret relationships, the grief of losing a family member, the confusion of young adulthood, and the rage of middle age—as well as multiple pieces of Steve/Aidan slashfic, tales from a tense Sex and the City bus tour, and behind-the-scenes stories from an And Just Like That… production assistant.

Readers will discover newly published work by Mattie Lubchansky (Boys Weekend), Harron Walker (Aggregated Discontent), Bri LeRose (The People’s Joker), and Sam Szabo (Enlightened Transsexual Comix) alongside Mad Libs, M.A.S.H., AIM chat logs, a personality quiz, and something called “Mr. Big’s Phalloplasty Emporium.”

Tuck Woodstock is the host of the acclaimed Gender Reveal podcast and co-founder of Girl Dad Press. His first anthology, 2 Trans 2 Furious, received a 2024 Lambda Literary Award. Tuck was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest but currently lives in Brooklyn, NY.

Serena Hommes is an actor and writer who stars in the upcoming feature film Indigo Elsewhere. She is also a festival programmer for Seattle Trans Underground Film Fest. Originally from Missouri, she now lives under a giant cloud in the Pacific Northwest.
