The Transgender Issue: An Argument for Justice

內容簡介

內容簡介 直擊跨性別恐懼症社會☆周日泰晤士報暢榜議題書作者分析當代英國和其他地區跨性別者面對的現實，探索從工作、家庭、住房、健保、監獄，乃至LGBTQ +和女權主義社區的跨性別參與。跨性別在當代英國時常引發爭議，且被冠上負面的刻板印象，作者Shon Faye身為記者，將恐跨性別的爭議系統性地整理，發現社群媒體上大肆傳遞的跨性別者形象與資訊，其實是在進行無幫助且錯誤的溝通，反而讓跨性別族群真正的生因遭到埋沒。她以透明且公正的角度，從階級、家庭、健康、社群參與、性工作與監獄體系等各方面切入，貼近生活，與跨性別族群展開正常的對話。THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'Few books are as urgent as Shon Faye's debut ... Faye has hope for the future - and maybe so should we' Independent'Unsparing, important and weighty ... a vitally needed antidote' Observer'A moving and impressively comprehensive overview of trans life' VogueTrans people in Britain today have become a culture war 'issue'. Despite making up less than one per cent of the country's population, they are 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 the wrong conversation, a conversation in which trans people themselves are reduced to a talking point and denied a meaningful voice.In this powerful new book, Shon Faye reclaims the idea of the 'transgender issue' to uncover the reality of what it means to be trans in a transphobic society. In doing so, she provides a compelling, wide-ranging analysis of trans lives from youth to old age, exploring work, family, housing, healthcare, the prison system and trans participation in the LGBTQ+ and feminist communities, in contemporary Britain and beyond.The Transgender Issue is a landmark work that signals the beginning of a new, healthier conversation about trans life. It is a manifesto for change, and a call for justice and solidarity between all marginalized people and minorities. Trans liberation, as Faye sees it, goes to the root of what our society is and what it could be; it offers the possibility of a more just, free and joyful world for all of us.'Fundamentally not a culture-war book. It operates outside the narrow coverage of trans people in the mainstream, and lays bare the inarguable facts' New Statesman'Monumental and utterly convincing - crystal clear in its understanding of how the world should be' Judith Butler"
