The Transgender Issue: An Argument for Justice by Shon Faye

challenging informative medium-paced

4.5

5/5 in the sense that every cisgender person should read this. It is brilliantly written and perfectly encapsulates the transgender experience in modern day. However, if you are a transgender person interested in social politics and your rights - like myself - you will find this an incredibly difficult read. If you are transgender, relatively informed and anti-capitalist in all the right ways, you probably won't gain any new insight into transgender liberation. And because of the nature of essay writing, there are tons of statistics relating to transgender suffering. It is for these very reasons I think anyone who has firsthand experience of transphobia or simply is transgender in the UKs currently political climate, should not read this book - if only for the sake of their own mental health as in short this book can appear a collation of our communities suffering.
