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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTrans 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pigeon Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39391602278474,"sku":"","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0249\/3828\/3082\/products\/image_cc821bd4-f831-4c34-a6e6-24a384881dec.jpg?v=1631092952","url":"https:\/\/pigeonbooks.pro\/products\/the-transgender-issue-shon-faye","provider":"Pigeon Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
