The Therapist and the Whore

A short story from the Lambda Literary Award-winning anthology Take Me There: trans and genderqueer erotica.

Manny never tells anyone the full truth. Her therapist Liesl doesn't know she started binding her breasts and stopped correcting people when they call her "Sir." Her girlfriend Danica doesn't know she's been sleeping with a transsexual prostitute named Star. Manny identifies as a butch dyke, so why isn’t she acting like one?

With intense emotional attachments to a girlfriend, a therapist, and a whore, Manny's situation is complex. She can't juggle these three women anymore… but how can she choose between them?
