It's an enraging window on the ongoing battle to secure LGBTQ+ rights.'\n\u003cbr\u003e-Publishers Weekly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Filled with joy and hope, Keio's beautiful book charts a course towards a future where the law enables joy, liberation, and love for everyone. Combining deeply personal stories from his lived experience, together with his expert, accessible legal analysis, this book is unique- it is a must read for all who care about equality and a much-needed antidote to attacks on trans rights.'\n\u003cbr\u003e-Jennifer Robinson, Barrister\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'This is a lovely book, in which the author accurately describes the legal battles against cruel and stupid judges and laws oppressing sexual minorities, intertwined with a moving account of their personal - and ultimately joyful - trans journey. It is a novel and powerful way of presenting the case for law reform, and can be recommended for reading by J.K. Rowling.'\n\u003cbr\u003e-Geoffrey Robertson KC\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Keio Yoshida","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":47074177908979,"sku":"9781761380945","price":32.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9781761380945.jpg?v=1750104101","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/pride-and-prejudices-keio-yoshida-9781761380945","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
