It is only through solidarity, compassion and radical reimagining that we can build a more just and joyful world for all of us.

an insightful dive into the history and current state of trans lives - particularly focused on the UK - The Transgender Issue provides glimpses into where we’ve come from, as well as aspirations of where we must go. a great read for anyone wanting to educate themselves on trans lives and the politics that surround us.

challenging emotional informative inspiring reflective sad tense slow-paced
 This isn’t a happy book. Seven chapters detailing the ways trans folks in the UK are hard done by the government, the medical establishment, the media, and the feminist movement make hard reading for those of us who stand, and/or love those who stand, under the trans umbrella. Nor did I find it the straightforward, super-obvious roadmap to trans liberation that many of the blurb-writers claimed it to be. Still, Faye’s bold voice and unflinching critiques of both the forces that try to crush trans folks and the tactics that (mostly white, middle class, cishet) moderate liberals think will save us make this book a balm for what ails us. (Spoiler alert: it’s capitalism. Capitalism is what ails us.)
