Forgive the bed-head but I started reading this when I woke up this morning and it’s fucking brilliant…👌🏻

Finished! A clear, concise and convincing argument for justice from author @shonfaye.
I learned a lot. Highly recommended.

What a fucking fantastic line-up to end the night!! 🙌🏼🤩 Discussing anti-semitism, trans rights, fighting against divide & conquer amongst minorities… inc. a healthy hilarious bit of #keirbashing 🤬🖕🏻 ft. @shonfaye❤️ #avavidalandfriends PS. Owen 🥵

Trans people are a tiny minority with hardly any representation. Which makes it all the more disturbing to me that we're seeing such an overwhelming attack on their existence & right to access spaces/services they've always had access to. See this from @shonfaye

My letter was published in this week’s Private Eye. It refers to a review of @shonfaye book. Takes a sideswipe at Paris Lees too. What chance have I got of not being a debate?

I've been slipping bad with books, but this is an ESSENTIAL read. If you only read one thing this year, make it this. YES @shonfaye! So proud of you #TheTransgenderIssue

powerful words shared by Lizzie Jordan Think2Speak from
#ShonFaye at this year’s Mighty Hoopla #LBGTLinclusion #Networkingwithpride Lincs Partnership @LPFT_EDI 🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Essential reading - however sad to spend a few hours appreciating why one has to argue to simply be one’s self 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 thanks for the signed copy @shonfaye

My letter in today’s Private Eye about @shonfaye book the Transgender Issue. The review also took a sideswipe at Paris Lees

«[As trans+ ppl] We are a symbol of hope for many non-trans people, too, who see in our lives the possibility of living more fully & freely. That is why some people hate us: they are frightened by the gleaming opulence of our freedom. Our existence enriches the world». @shonfaye

Recently in Red Reads we have been discussing The Transgender Issue by @shonfaye, and one of our Trans Working Group members was also lucky enough to attend an event about the book. The Transgender Issue is a landmark text about trans life in Britain, we highly recommend 🏳️‍⚧️
