Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality by Helen Joyce
1.0
I don’t know where to start. I brought this book hoping to educate myself of trans issues and was reassured by the positive reviews on the book and predominantly 5* reviews on Goodreads. It is the biggest load of transphobic nonsense I have ever read in my life.
She refers to trans women as ‘males’ the whole way through the book for starters. Joyce uses the classic TERF arguments of not wanting trans women in female sports or female spaces without actually contributing anything new or constructive to those arguments. She pays little to no attention to any issues faced by trans men as she is too busy talking about how she cannot comprehend that trans women are women.
By the end of the book she has identified as a TERF. Do not waste your money.
