Dated in some ways (terminology, most obliviously) but still very relevant today. The calls for intersectionality and passages of how class struggle is linked to other forms of oppression, including transphobia, are very powerful. I might read more of Feinberg's work. Ze has a way of making me think that a better world is possible.

This is a new favourite book of mine. Feinberg’s a poet and captures exactly what is needed in society in terms of trans liberation. Ze is an incredible writer who goes beyond the white understanding of the trans identity, ze tackles what true liberation is - the liberation of all peoples.
On trans liberation, though, ze is so much clearer than the likes of Butler for me. An absolute must-read.
