Carrie Kills A Man: A Memoir

Product Information

When more people think they've seen a ghost than met a trans person, it's easy for bad actors to exploit that - and they do, as you can see from the headlines and online.

Viviciously Scots, angry in all the right bits and an author who actually places importance in the good bits of being trans, this book is a gorgeous, real and emotional memoir of not just the author, but every trans person in some degree. So if the press aren’t going to get it right, then we need to find other ways to tell our stories and connect with people. Carrie explores growing up trans and coming out later in life, showing the real impact of anti-trans rhetoric, both historic and current. And the portrait being painted of us is a monstrous one; it’s like people are competing with one another to see who can make up the nastiest stuff about us.Carrie also weaves facts and figures about trans life into her words in such a way that it feels relevant and tied into the story. It’s also about the power of music and of friendship, the joy of being your best self and what it’s like to go out looking like the sole survivor of a terrible accident in a clown factory. Most importantly of all, it’s enabled me to meet lots of book people, who are of course the best people. Would recommend to give to anyone who is unsure of what is happening in Scotland in regards to trans rights.
