Fantasy Gifts partnered up with Trans Equity Coalition and Dr. Damon Constantinides to offer a trans-centered workshop on sexual empowerment for trans and non-binary folx. In the workshop, we discussed our erotic lineage, trans-centered sexual practices, and finding gender euphoria!

The event, which took place on March 19, 2025, brought together trans, non-binary and even cis folx from all over the state of New Jersey to discuss sexual pleasure within the trans experience. Dr. Damon guided the group through discussed our erotic lineage: the people who taught us or provided us with examples of sexuality and how we would like to be viewed moving through the world.

There was also an activity with an orange that truly helped everyone in the group understand that true pleasure comes from communication and adapting and changing. This workshop also provided some folx with the ‘aha’ moment of gender euphoria doesn’t have to be about this grand way – rather it can be “hm, that just felt right.”

TEC stated: “Empowerment of our community means everything to us, and that can look so many different ways…we learned more about the power of the T+ s-xual experience, how to be more in tune with ourselves and our partners, and so much more.”

“This workshop is not just about pleasure,” said Brianna McKnight, “but it’s about centering people. Queer, trans and BIPOC people have always been in the forefront of resistance, so why do they continue to be an afterthought even within the sex toy industry? This truly was an eye opening workshop!”

We extend our heartfelt thanks to TEC, Dr. Damon, and all the attendees who made this workshop so amazing.
