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.

If you have ever wanted to understand the challenges trans and non-binary folks in the UK face, this book is a fantastic read. Faye covers everything from class issues to medical discrimination and provides a lengthy bibliography at the end of the book, allowing the reader to verify claims. I don't think I can explain how amazing this book is.

Unsurprisingly this book covers transphobia in great detail. Regardless of your position in society, if you are trans, you will likely find references to transphobia you've faced in your life in this book. BUT you can certainly skip sensitive chapters and still understand the book.katharina90's review against another edition

"There can be no trans liberation under capitalism."
"The whiteness and unexamined colonialism of mainstream UK feminism correlate directly with its tendencies towards transphobia."
"[T]heory should only ever play second fiddle to the practical work of movement-building, resource-allocation, care and solidarity."
