THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Few books are as urgent as
Shon Faye's debut ... Faye has hope for the future - and maybe so
should we' Independent 'Unsparing, important and weighty ... a
vitally needed antidote' Observer 'A moving and impressively
comprehensive overview of trans life' Vogue Trans people in Britain
today have become a culture war 'issue'.Despite making up less than
one per cent of the country's population, they are the subjects of
a toxic and increasingly polarized 'debate' which generates
reliable controversy for newspapers and talk shows. This media
frenzy conceals a simple fact: that we are having the wrong
conversation, a conversation in which trans people themselves are
reduced to a talking point and denied a meaningful voice. In this
powerful new book, Shon Faye reclaims the idea of the 'transgender
issue' to uncover the reality of what it means to be trans in a
transphobic society.In doing so, she provides a compelling,
wide-ranging analysis of trans lives from youth to old age,
exploring work, family, housing, healthcare, the prison system and
trans participation in the LGBTQ+ and feminist communities, in
contemporary Britain and beyond. The Transgender Issue is a
landmark work that signals the beginning of a new, healthier
conversation about trans life. It is a manifesto for change, and a
call for justice and solidarity between all marginalized people and
minorities.Trans liberation, as Faye sees it, goes to the root of
what our society is and what it could be, it offers the possibility
of a more just, free and joyful world for all of us. 'Fundamentally
not a culture-war book. It operates outside the narrow coverage of
trans people in the mainstream, and lays bare the inarguable facts'
New Statesman 'Monumental and utterly convincing - crystal clear in
its understanding of how the world should be' Judith Butler
