Book Launch: Shon Faye's The Transgender Issue at Strange Brew
See event for details

A event held at Strange Brew on Wednesday 6th October. The event starts at 19:30.


We are very excited to welcome you to a celebration for the launch of Shon Faye's powerful new book: The Transgender Issue - An Argument for Justice

The publication of this much anticipated work 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.
