The Transgender Issue: An Argument for Justice | 
Happy Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️⚧️
I finished 9 books this past week for the #TransRightsReadathon
I still have to review a few but they were all great and I discovered some new favorites. I think it's so important for trans stories to be shared wide, for those who relate, to see themselves reflected, and for those who don't, to learn and gain empathy 🩷🤍🩵 #TRR24
pickWhat I love most about this book is how Shon Faye sets her own terms. Explosive, uncompromising, and very, very timely, this is a sharp and comprehensive manifesto for trans equality.
Some of Faye's rhetoric relied too heavily on the reader agreeing with principles such as anti-capitalism. Human rights should be championed regardless of where one sits on the political spectrum.
Still, essential reading! Very important and well argued.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickA very informative, useful book. Please read if you think this issue is only about toilets or just if you want want to inform and educate yourself.
Shows the harm, as always, that capitalism and the patriarchy does to all sections of society that don‘t fit in the box and how slurs, infighting and crap in the press help the establishment.
pickThis is a brilliant book. Shon Faye analyses the titular transgender issue from a radical intersectional perspective, arguing that there can be no real trans liberation under capitalism. Her dismantling of the TERF and trans misogynistic bigotry, and how harmful it is to all women, is particularly good. Highly recommend this.
