Trans: A Memoir by Juliet Jacques
4.0
"What if we’re not trapped in the wrong body but trapped in the wrong society?"
Part autobiography, part Trans theory, I feel that the combination worked well. The beginning of the book was hard for me to get into as after the first chapter I felt very disoriented. It took me awhile to realize Juliet lives in Great Britain and to translate the slang and cultural references. Also it was hard to pinpoint characters as they seemed to crop up and disappear disjointedly.
The book really picks up and hits the strongest point from the halfway point on - discussion of trans representation in media and social media was fascinating and so important. The spotlight on radical feminism's treatment of trans people was enlightening and is a great argument for increased intersectional feminism.
