The Transgender Issue: Trans Justice Is Justice for All by Shon Faye

5.0
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.
Graphic: Homophobia, Transphobia, and Dysphoria
Moderate: Ableism, Homophobia, Misogyny, Racism, Self harm, Sexual violence, Medical trauma, Outing, and Classism

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.emmalouisereads's review against another edition

I don’t know if it’s a book that’ll convince the average transphobe to change their mind. People who don’t know much about the difficulties trans people face (especially in the UK) will find this book enlightening.
I’m glad this book exists
