Thrive

We are excited to host

Mirage, the Detroit Domme

(she/her)

The Desert Mirage is a facilitator, artist, and dominatrix journeying through the sublime worlds of queer Blackness, trans femininity, and neurodivergence.

Her approach to FemmeDom prioritizes the liberation of all people oppressed under patriarchy. She loves sensation play & the erotics of language, emotion, and power. Mirage embraces all genders and backgrounds but finds work within her Black, neurodivergent, and genderqueer communities to be the most fulfilling.

Mirage is a connoisseur of weapons, fragrance, and leather fashion. She lives in Detroit.

Who will be presenting:

Gender Dysphoria and Kink: Best practices and protocols

Class Description

Does gender dysphoria prevent you from interacting with your body how you’d like?

Do you crave connection but struggle to trust that you will be treated in careful, respectful, and affirming ways?

Do you want to learn how to be a better partner for many gender diverse and gender non-conforming people?

In this class, we’ll discuss triggers for and symptoms of gender dysphoria, identify tactics for coping with dysphoria, and learn how dysphoria can help us access new depths of our kinky minds.

We’ll cover how dysphoria can affect behavior, sexuality, and desire, how it interacts with other conditions, and how to manage it.

Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of best practices for gender affirming language, vetting new partners, and checking in with yourself and others.

Partners of people with gender dysphoria are welcome to attend; please be mindful of how much space you take up.
