Highly recommended. I think everyone should read this. I found this really easy to read, nicely paced and extremely informative and thought provoking.

I’m a huge fan of Shon Faye and have learnt so much from her. This book steps beyond the more commonly-understood talking points about trans acceptance and pushes for a more ambitious goal of trans liberation, recognising that it is inherently connected to the broader liberation of oppressed groups. Well-researched, tightly written, with plenty of real-word examples. Shon reads the audiobook and it’s great.

absolutely essential. shon does an excellent job of making this accessible for everyone it's talking about whilst being still entrenched within equal amounts of theory and practice.
i also found it incredibly enlightening the efforts to which shon went to place all of the negativity, bigotry and hatred that others have espoused into the context of oppressive systems. whilst yes, we can condemn individuals doing harm, it is so important to relate these instances to wider systemic oppressions.
this should be read by all trans and non-trans people alike.
