This is a really intelligent and thoughtful piece of writing which takes much of the vitriol and controversy out of the discussion of trans rights and approaches it methodically and rationally. Equally, it recenters the debate exactly where it should be - minimising the noise created by the media and SM and drawing our attention to where it should be; how discrimination against trans people *actually* affects their everyday lives. Looking at human rights, healthcare, ability to work and trying to address the thorny issue of trans rights within feminism, this is essential reading for anyone trying to understand the issues without the chaotic noise currently in the public forum. It avoids becoming embroiled in the successful distractions of women's sports/spaces/toilet access debacles and actually spends the time demonstrating the real life issues faced by trans people just trying to go about their day. Nothing in this was a surprise to me, but it helped to refocus my attention in the right way.
