WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT TRANS?
At first glance, this interest, as recent as it is loud, in the liberation of a minority might seem surprising. However, the media spotlight has been filled with a partisan and often misinformed debate, focused on hypothetical risks and anecdotal cases, which ends up sidelining the essential: the suffering, daily life, and dignity of trans people.
This book offers a solid foundation to understand the discussion, but above all, to change the starting point: listening. Because the trans issue is not exhausted in scenes repeated ad nauseam, the sportswear, the bar bathroom. It talks about housing, healthcare, work, love, and survival. Ultimately, it talks about the world we want to live in.
THE DEFINITIVE ESSAY ON THE TRANSGENDER ISSUE
«A monumental work on how the world should be.»
Judith Butler
«Shon Faye bravely and clearly shows us that the trans struggle is everyone's struggle.»
Owen Jones
The approval of the Trans Law in Spain sparked a high-voltage controversy, very similar to what has been experienced in other countries. Reading Shon Faye, an absolute reference in Great Britain, helps understand that this is a global and urgent debate, and that addressing it with rigor and humanity is the only way to prevent more people from paying the consequences.
