Sex Change and the City
Available Nov. 6, 2025 — preorder now!
Sex Change and the City features personal essays, critical analysis, comics, poetry, artwork, games, and steamy short stories by 46 fabulous LGBTQ+ contributors. Inspired by the classic TV series, the collection goes beyond asking “Are you a Miranda?” to consider more pressing questions, like “When will Miranda start HRT and begin going by Hobbes?”
This all-queer, mostly-trans anthology includes thoughtful meditations on the shame of secret relationships, the grief of losing a family member, the confusion of young adulthood, and the rage of middle age—as well as multiple pieces of Steve/Aidan slashfic, tales from a tense Sex and the City bus tour, and behind-the-scenes stories from an And Just Like That… production assistant.
Readers will discover newly published work by Mattie Lubchansky (Boys Weekend), Harron Walker (Aggregated Discontent), Bri LeRose (The People’s Joker), and Sam Szabo (Enlightened Transsexual Comix) alongside Mad Libs, M.A.S.H., AIM chat logs, a personality quiz, and something called “Mr. Big’s Phalloplasty Emporium.”
Sex and the City fans, queer literature lovers, and anyone who’s ever made an AO3 account will enjoy this highly-anticipated anthology, which combines the incisiveness of critical theory with the raw heart and boundless creativity of an old-school fanzine.

"A text as rich and varied and messy as the show itself. I loved it even though I got stuck with only 2 shoes in the MASH game!"— Kelsey McKinney, founding host of Normal Gossip and author of You Didn’t Hear This From Me

Sex Change in the City is the funny, loveable, outsider book I’ve been missing; filled with writers clearly having a good time using the premise to lay out real truths. It achieves the rare art of the best humor: a joke that tells you something dead serious about life.” — Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby

"Sex Change and the City awoke something within me... not gender stuff but a deep, dark desire to actually watch all of Sex and the City (arguably a much more impressive task). Maybe it just speaks to the fact that all the coolest, cleverest queers contributing to SCATC make the show seem actually appealing. I laughed, I cried, I got a little horny about Charlotte getting force-masced. 10/10, thank you Girl Dad Press!" — Kendra Wells, author of Real Hero Shit

"A sharp, hysterical collection for everyone who loves the you you love. If our ladies read this for a book club, Charlotte would arrive with a list of 40 discussion points, Samantha would have a story for all of them, Miranda's copy would be dogeared and littered in underlines, and Carrie wouldn't finish it. And that's just fabulous." — Bobby Finger, host of Who? Weekly and author of Four Squares

“Fran Lebowitz (SATC S4E2) once observed that the AIDS epidemic killed more than a generation of artists; it killed the greatest, most discerning audience members of all time. Sex Change and the City is a celebration of queer discernment, fandom, and cultural consumption. Every page of this book is a good time, especially the trans Steve erotica.” — Maddy Court, author of The Ex-Girlfriend of My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Girlfriend

“Harron Walker, Dani Janae, Mattie Lubchansky, Fancy Feast, Juno Carmel and dozens more queer and trans artists going long on the aspects of the Sex and the City extended universe that they can’t stop thinking about? It’s giving fever dream—and it’s also giving perfect, perfect book. If you’ve always longed for the experience of watching SATC with your funniest, smartest, most depraved friends (or just always wondered what would happen if Aidan and Steve happened to fuck) you need to buy a copy this very minute.” — Emma Specter, Vogue culture writer and author of More, Please

“When did everybody stop smoking? When did everybody pair off? Girl Dad Press used to be the most exciting publisher in the world. Now it's nothing but smoking near a fucking open window. Anthologies are so over. O.V.E.R. Over! No one's fun anymore. Whatever happened to fun! God. I'm so bored I could die. Splat!” — Sabrina Imbler, author of How Far the Light Reaches
