Trans Liberation

This book is just as relevant today as when it was published in 1998. Some language has changed since then—like the word transgender becoming the inclusive term for anyone who isn't the gender assigned at birth, which was one of the things Feinberg advocated in hir work—but the overall message of how coalitions are necessary because oppressions are all interconnected remains.

I find Feinberg's arguments especially applicable to challenging transmedicalist ideological frameworks, which wrongly assert that allowing people who don't fit a True Transsexual narrative to call themselves “trans” lessens True Transsexuals' movement strength. Coalitions between people fitting a True Transsexual narrative and other trans people (and their allies) are in fact required for a trans movement to have any chance at success.
