/Transgender Resistance/is a timely work. Trans and non-binary people
face attacks from the left, right and centre of the political spectrum,
including from some of those who describe themselves as “radical” or
“socialist feminists”. Indeed, anti-trans prejudice has forged an unholy
alliance between religious conservatives, the secular right and radical
feminists. Their attacks are based on an essentialism that assumes that
what we understand as gender is hard-wired. Some have questioned whether
trans women are “real” women or a pathological category that risks
erasing lesbians.2

have wondered whether they are, in reality, male sexual predators
seeking access to women’s bodies in public toilets and other single-sex
spaces.3

the accusations, as Miles argues in chapter 2, we have witnessed a
backlash against trans people’s autonomy and their right to transition
to the gender that is right for them.
