    Sam Elkin: Detachable Penis presented by the Wheeler Centre poster with date and location

    Lawyer, advocate and Next Chapter recipient Sam Elkin launches his memoir with a night of celebration at The Wheeler Centre.
    Sam Elkin’s Detachable Penis: A Queer Legal Saga, recounts his bumpy journey from lesbian to transgender lawyer in the aftermath of the 2017 marriage equality postal survey. Set against the backdrop of a growing moral panic about the ‘trans agenda’, Elkin’s debut book is part-love letter and part-cautionary tale. Honest and unflinching, it’s sure to spark many prickly and productive conversations.

    Join Elkin as he launches Detachable Penis with host Yves Rees at an intimate and relaxed evening at The Wheeler Centre. Books for sale via Hares and Hyenas.
