The Transgender Issue: An Argument for Justice by Shon Faye
challenging
informative
inspiring
medium-paced
4.5
Absolute must read. One of the best books of the year.
Trans journalist and advocate Shon Faye cuts deeply into the issues facing the trans community - this is not an argument for recognition or acceptance, but a demand for justice, and a scathing critique of the aggressive and dangerous anti-trans politics within the UK.
The chapter on class struggle was particularly astute. This is a vital piece of writing which verbalised and crystallised so many complex ideas into essential, clear gems.
