Exposing the prejudices faced by trans people today, this uncompromising book looks at the life and death of a young trans woman, Synestra de Courcy, following neglect from the NHS. Illustrated by this tragic example, Jane Fae goes on to examime the societal discrimination faced daily by trans people, and the impact that can have.
Trans people in the UK currently face widespread prejudice and discrimination, from how they are described in the media to the lack of healthcare support they receive. This institutional bias is illustrated by the tragic case of Synestra de Courcy, who died following neglect and rejection from the NHS, leading her to sex work to fund her transition and dangerous self-medication.
Charting Syn's life from childhood through to her untimely death aged just 23, Jane Fae exposes the gross institutional and societal discrimination trans people experience on a daily basis and its impact on the lives of trans people young and old. Promoting honest discussion and bringing these hidden issues into the light of day, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in trans rights and NHS accountability.
