Veronica Vera Writes...
In my 40+ years as author, artist, sex worker, activist – and now a Doctor of Human Sexuality -I have led the life of a sexual libertine, chronicling the most outre corners of the NYC sex scene and the lovable outlaws and eccentrics who were its key players. As an adult movie star, I used my body as well as my words to develop my life as an ‘arthole’ liberating and empowering myself and others. In 1989, I founded the world’s first transgender and cross-dressing academy as a safe place for people to explore gender expression. The theories and realizations that I came to via my tireless and often raunchy research have proven to be even more relevant today. That is why I have decided to share my archives here on this site, as well as excerpts from my upcoming memoir, Bare Witness.

Who would’ve thought Tallahassee would be so hip? After giving a talk at University of Florida about my life and art, they celebrated me as if I were Elvis. I was invited there by the art-activist collective Critical Art Ensemble. Years later, the head of the collective Professor Steve, suffered tremendous censorship and persecution for his experimental approach to academia. It took years before he was cleared and his tenure was restored. He was and continues to be a gift to Higher Education. …Read More
