I’m blown away by how carefully and concisely Shon Faye discussed this topic. It’s not easy to get me glued to a nonfiction book like I do with fiction but she did it! I found myself thinking about her analysis even when I wasn’t reading, which only made me want to continue. Crazy. 

There is a lot of analysis on both American and British attitudes surrounding trans people, along with gender nonconformity overall. She does a great job of showing how integral liberating these groups is to providing everyone with a better life. Homelessness, poverty, sex work,  incarceration, police brutality, and corporate sponsorship are all things she touches on with nuance. I was pretty impressed. 

The interviews and cases of violence against trans people were very eye-opening. I recommend reading, for sure.
