4.5 stars. I found this book fascinating, if at times upsetting. It’s very hard to hear the atrocious way trans people have been treated in our society, but so important to know about. The narration of the audiobook was not quite to my taste, but this may be more of a case of the stuffy British accents used in passages of direct quotation rather than any bigger issue.

Absolutely critical documentation of trans political history. Well-compiled, great read.

Absolutely fascinating book which sheds important light on the sex/gender debate, trans rights, nature/nurture, within a fascinating tale of a legal case buried for decades. Determination and meticulous research has brought to light. The book is beautiful written and I stayed up way too late as I couldn’t put it down!
