Despite making up less than one per cent of the country&#8217;s population, subjects of a toxic and polarised &#8216;debate&#8217; which generates controversy for newspapers and talk shows. This media frenzy conceals a simple fact: we are having the wrong conversation, in which trans people themselves are reduced to a talking point and denied a meaningful voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shon Faye reclaims the idea of the &#8216;transgender issue&#8217; 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a manifesto for change, and a call for justice and solidarity between all marginalised 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote class=\"has-text-color has-accent-color\"><p><strong>Few books are as urgent as Shon Faye&#8217;s debut &#8230; Faye has hope for the future &#8211; and maybe so should we<\/strong>.<\/p><cite>Independent<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"434\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/phsi-edi\/files\/2021\/12\/D651212F-D548-4EFB-A7AB-9CC1C52F377F.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"136\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/phsi-edi\/files\/2021\/12\/D651212F-D548-4EFB-A7AB-9CC1C52F377F.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/phsi-edi\/?attachment_id=136\" class=\"wp-image-136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/phsi-edi\/files\/2021\/12\/D651212F-D548-4EFB-A7AB-9CC1C52F377F.jpeg 434w, https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/phsi-edi\/files\/2021\/12\/D651212F-D548-4EFB-A7AB-9CC1C52F377F-300x276.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 434px) 100vw, 434px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Julian Is a Mermaid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-larger-font-size\">Jessica Love | Children&#8217;s fiction<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">Beautifully illustrated and joyously inclusive,&nbsp;<em>Julian is a M ermaid&nbsp;<\/em>has a good claim to being the most progressive picture book of the decade.
