"Journalist Shon Faye gives an incisive overview of systemic transphobia and argues that the struggle for trans rights is necessary to any struggle for social justice"--

Faye gives an incisive overview of systemic transphobia and argues that the struggle for trans rights is necessary to any struggle for social justice. Too often trans people are understood as a "side issue," the subjects of a toxic and increasingly polarized debate which generates reliable controversy for newspapers and talk shows. This media frenzy conceals a simple fact: that we are having a conversation in which trans people themselves are reduced to a talking point and denied a meaningful voice. In uncovering the reality of what it means to be trans in a transphobic society, Faye explores issues of class, family, housing, healthcare, sex work, the prison system, and trans participation in the LGBTQ+ and feminist communities. When we fight for trans liberation, we fight for a better world for us all. -- adapted from front flap
