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.

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

Despite being an emotionally difficult book to read, I found it very important to educate myself with it and Shin Faye discusses being transgender within a variety of contexts.
I would highly recommend, especially to those who would like to learn more about the issues of transgender people. The style is relatively accessible to all and Shon Faye writes in a way that educates whilst also being engaging.
