<p>68.183.65.14: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Pat Califia''' (http://www.patcalifia.com/) is a writer (erotica and SF), sex activist, and therapist. <br /> <br /> Califia began as a lesbian activist who wrote S&amp;M erotica. At the time, many lesbians and feminists considered S&amp;M inappropriate to the lesbian and feminist culture. Califia was a contributor to ''Coming to Power: Writing and graphics on Lesbian S/M'' and the coeditor of ''The Second Coming: Leatherdyke Reader'', both of which argued the contrary. Her short-story lesbian S&amp;M collection, ''Macho Sluts'', remains popular.<br /> <br /> During the mid-1990s, Califia transitioned to male, and at the same time changed his name to Patrick Califia.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Bibliography==<br /> * ''[[Mortal Companion]]'' (2004 vampire novel)<br /> * ''[[Doc and Fluff|Doc and Fluff: The Dystopian Tale of a Girl and Her Biker]]'' (Alyson, 1990 SF novel)<br /> * ''[[The Shield Goes North]]'' (forthcoming novel in The Circle of Life series, a pagan fantasy series)<br /> <br /> ===Non-SFnal works===<br /> * &quot;A Personal View of the History of the Lesbian S/M Community and Movement in San Francisco&quot;, in ''Coming to Power: Writings and Graphics on Lesbian S/M'' (Samois Collective, 1983)<br /> * ''Macho Sluts'' (1988 collection)<br /> * ''Sapphistry: The Book of Lesbian Sexuality'' (1988 nonfiction lesbian sex guide)<br /> * ''Doing It for Daddy: Short Sexy Fiction About a Very Forbidden Fantasy'' (1994 porn collection)<br /> * Editor, ''Forbidden Passages: Writings Banned in Canada'' (1995 anthology)<br /> * ''Melting Point: A Collection of Erotic Short Stories'' (1996 collection of lesbian porn)<br /> * Editor, ''The Second Coming: A Leatherdyke Reader'' (1996 anthology)<br /> * ''Sex Changes: The Politics of Transgenderism'' (1997 nonfiction; 2 editions)<br /> * ''Sensuous Magic: A Guide for Adventurous Lovers'' (1998; nonfiction SM guide; 2 editions)<br /> * ''No Mercy'' (2000 collection)<br /> * ''Public Sex: The Culture of Radical Sex'' (2000 collection of essays on radical sex)<br /> * ''Speaking Sex to Power: The Politics of Queer Sex'' (2001)<br /> * ''Boy in the Middle: Erotic Fiction'' (2005 collection)<br /> * &quot;A Swimmer's Body&quot; (short story)<br /> * ''Diesel Fuel'' (poetry collection)<br /> * ''Speaking Sex to Power'' (essay collection)<br /> * ''Hard Men'' (collection of gay porn)<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Califia, Patrick}}<br /> <br /> [[category:1954 births]]<br /> [[Category:Writers]]<br /> [[Category:Living people]]<br /> [[Category:Activists]]</div>
