This book was absolutely brilliant and if you’re looking for your next piece of non-fiction that tackles the real issues that are affecting the lives of trans people every day, this is an amazing eye opener.

From the get go, this was brilliantly written, well researched and beautifully put together. I love a nonfiction book that also has a little bit of the author's heart into it, you can feel how passionate they are about what they’re writing just seeping through the pages. You can also get glimpses into their personality and their humour while reading snippets, this did that perfectly. Faye is brilliant at what she does and this book really worked for me, I’m glad it was recommended to me.

This book will go into issues you didn’t even realise were issues. It highlighted so many things to me and brought forward so many conversations to the forefront of my mind. I thought I was pretty clued up about trans issues but it turns out my ignorance was pretty obvious the deeper I got into it. It had topics and cross sections between the topics and it delved into how other aspects of a person's identity can also interact with all of these factors. It felt like an extremely thorough and fair examination of the current state of affairs when it comes to the lives of trans people.

It was really good. Sometimes I did get a little bit lost in a whirlwind of tangents the narrative sometimes took but for the most part followed closely. There were also some issues I had with the pacing at times and it did get a little difficult to push forward but I still really enjoyed it. An important and very relevant read.

Comprehensive without being overwhelming.

Required reading for any intersectional feminist and socialists.
