Characters were engaged in trans activism, sex worker rights, anti-racist organizing and explored the individual implications of societal expectations and oppression. Some stories powerfully illuminated a hard experience many of us have to deal with, others provided positive models for how things can turn out well.

The stories addressed complicated issues typically not seen in an erotic anthology, including healing from trauma, healthy and unhealthy relationships, dysphoria, mental health, and more. As an anthology, it’s goal was to create a new genre that represented a holistic perspective on trans and non-binary people’s experiences of sex, sexuality, and relationships. The original Nerve Endings: The New Trans Erotic was released in 2017 and became a Lambda Literary Finalist.
