Coming in 2019! The War On Gender by Claire Rae Randall

                      Coming in 2019!

My Forthcoming book on the vexed subject of trans identity.


Transgender rights have recently come to the fore as a social issue, and yet there are many who feel that this is being pushed to far and too fast. 
Claire Rae Randall is a transsexual woman who transitioned over thirty years ago and is deeply concerned about both the deconstruction of the traditional understanding of gender, the normalisation of non binary as a model for our society, and the early medical treatment of children which is currently occurring.
           Can this have a happy ending?
Claire Rae Randall’s ‘The War on Gender’ examines the progress of trans from a personal perspective that has seen it come from being a marginal issue to one that is now having a disproportionate influence on social values.
