) Bestselling author Juno Dawson is to introduce readings from transgender or non-binary writers at Charleston, Firle, on Saturday, September 11 from 4pm. This event is in partnership with the Coast is Queer Festival and is hosted by Queer in Brighton.
In this special edition for Queer Bloomsbury, Juno is joined by writer, presenter and cabaret comedian Shon Faye to discuss her new book The Transgender Issue. In the book, Shon considers the way in which trans people in Britain today have become a culture war ‘issue’, despite making up less than one per cent of the country’s population, and explores how we can have more productive conversations about rights going forward. In reclaiming the idea of the ‘transgender issue’, Shon uncovers the reality of what it means to be trans in a transphobic society and calls for justice and solidarity between all marginalised people and minorities.
