わたしのアカウント、少なからず出版社の方も見てると思うのですが、この本は重要なのでどうにか翻訳を（速やかに）出せませんか？必要であれば、そしてそれが許されるのならば、わたしの資源を割く用意もあります。冒頭からとても胸を打たれる本です。以下Prologueの最初のページの仮訳。 https://t.co/tuZYCVfeWO

 The Transgender Issue by Shon Faye review – a cry for compassion

The author gives a stark, unapologetic account of how the difficulties faced by trans people are made worse by moral panic

 Trans people in the UK are in a hopeless situation; they face overwhelming political and media hostility, while vital healthcare is almost impossible to access

Faye lays out the shift in approach of the British press towards trans people in the last decade, taking as her starting point the tragic case of Lucy Meadows, who came out as a trans woman in 2012 while teaching at a primary school. The subsequent campaign of vilification and harassment by the press culminated in her killing herself in March 2013.

Faye writes that “while, since Lucy Meadows’s death, there have been some small improvements in press conduct towards trans individuals, such gains have been more than offset by the dramatic rise of another phenomenon: a huge ramping up of press hostility towards trans people as a minority group”.

The Transgender Issue by Shon Faye review: Clear and concise analysis of the issues facing trans people

Shon Faye’s book presents a full picture of the issues that need to be addressed for trans people

Faye shows us that trans people are more likely to be homeless, unemployed, impoverished and addicted to drugs. They experience more sexual assault and violence, they are a higher risk category for HIV and they work in much higher numbers in the sex trade.

どっちにせよ、トランスは過酷な境遇にあるわけだね。
