Trans Kink Los Angeles is a trans-centered kink org in Los Angeles, run by me. Aggressively analog, educational(?) and fun. This is a collection of classes and safe(r) play spaces. This is not a community, intentionally. I generally think that trans people don't need yet another "community" where sexual availability is linked to resources. You might find a community here. It's not built-in. Call it a harm reduction project, or an education project, or a worker solidarity project. In the background, it's kind of my catalyst for studying queer sexuality.

TKLA Events

▸

• The play party: [[redacted, don't worry about why.]]
• The classes: learn more advanced skills!
• The rope jams: study, skillshare, and meet new friends!
• The munches: meet new people. So sorry, you gotta come to MY favorite coffee place for this.

TKLA Benefits

▸

Cruising: Not chill with the vibe of the greater tech-bros squinting at your sexting? Connect with the people you meet post-event here instead.

The resource library: Always updating with resources on doing better kink and having better sex, and doing dangerous things in safer ways.

Become PAID staff!: Trans people, chronically used for free labor in the spirit of "community." Not here. We pay our staff, and pay for additional educational opportunities as they pop up. We reinvest in you.

I teach classes, I do demos at parties, and I do paid sessions. Inquire at tanglerope@proton.me. References available upon request.

See the full list of classes I teach → Technical rope skills (self-suspension, Rope 101/102) and vibes-based classes (Consent Kitchen, Designing Scenes, Overcoming Play Anxiety) with booking info.

I do demos

▸

Hire me to do demos at your event! I do groundwork, suspension, for beginners and those experienced with rope. Rates flexible, and dependent on whether I can accept tips.

I do sessions

▸

Hire me to tie you! I do cheaper demos at events often! I post about these on my instagram. Private sessions, inquire at tanglerope@proton.me.

New era: extraordinarily low tolerance for bullshit.

Short version:

• I'm not open to pickup play. Even if you ask nicely at a dungeon, the answer will be no.
• I'm also not open to playing with people I primarily have a teaching relationship with.

I tie myself. It's what I built everything on. In the least mean way possible, what makes playing with you worth the risk? Why should I tie or be tied by you when I could tie myself and have exactly the experience I want?

If that makes you feel angry, take a second here to evaluate why before you read on.

I'll make it really easy for you here. The answer is because you are my friend or my lover, and we care about each other.

I only tie for fun with people I consider friends outside of rope. You will likely meet my foster kittens before you meet my ropes. If you aren't chill with that, I have so many beautiful, beautiful homies you can pay to get tied exactly how you want.
