Yet their voices have been largely absent from the #MeToo conversation. What can queer people learn from the #MeToo conversation? And what can queer communities teach the rest of the world about ethical sex? This provocative book brings together academics, activists, artists, and sex workers to tackle challenging questions about sex, power, consent, and harm. While responding to the need for sex to be consensual and mutually pleasurable, these chapter authors resist the heteronormative assumptions, class norms, and racial privilege underlying much #MeToo discourse. The essays reveal the tools that queer communities themselves have developed to practice ethical sex--from the sex worker negotiating with her client to the gay man having anonymous sex in the back room. At the same time, they explore how queer communities might better prevent and respond to sexual violence without recourse to a police force that is frequently racist, homophobic, and transphobic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Telling a queerer side of the #MeToo story, \u003ci\u003eUnsafe Words\u003c\/i\u003e dares to challenge dogmatic assumptions about sex and consent while developing tools and language to promote more ethical and more pleasurable sex for everyone.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSHANTEL GABRIEAL BUGGS is an assistant professor of sociology and African American studies at Florida State University.
