Faye weaves together her own personal experiences, recent research, and political theory deftly. I wish I'd read the paper format so I could check out her citations.

It's a tough read because of the transphobia it discusses, but also it's general message is one of hope and progress. Sets out difficult to understand things very clearly and I definitely feel like I've learnt stuff. While focused primarily on Britain it does try to make the message more universal at times.

This is a must read for trans allies in the UK. The book is well researched and cites sources, it will be a helpful resource to have if you’re ever have to debunk a TERF’s arguments.

I don’t know if it’s a book that’ll convince the average transphobe to change their mind. People who don’t know much about the difficulties trans people face (especially in the UK) will find this book enlightening.

I’m glad this book exists

This text was incredibly informative! Despite it being dense in writing, I devoured it and found that I jelled well with the writing style.

Despite being an emotionally difficult book to read, I found it very important to educate myself with it and Shin Faye discusses being transgender within a variety of contexts. 

I would highly recommend, especially to those who would like to learn more about the issues of transgender people. The style is relatively accessible to all and Shon Faye writes in a way that educates whilst also being engaging.
