Trans Britain - Our Journey from the Shadows

Summary

Over the last five years, transgender people have seemed to burst into the public eye: Time declared 2014 a 'trans tipping point', while American Vogue named 2015 'the year of trans visibility'. From our television screens to the ballot box, transgender people have suddenly become part of the zeitgeist.


This apparently overnight emergence, though, is just the latest stage in a long and varied history. The renown of Paris Lees and Hari Nef has its roots in the efforts of those who struggled for equality before them, but were met with indifference – and often outright hostility – from mainstream society.

Trans Britain chronicles this journey in the words of those who were there to witness a marginalised community grow into the visible phenomenon we recognise today: activists, film-makers, broadcasters, parents, an actress, a rock musician and a priest, among many others.


Here is everything you always wanted to know about the background of the trans community, but never knew how to ask.
Available since: 12/09/2025.
Print length: 496 pages.

    A fascinating history of the profitable paradox of the American outdoor experience: visiting nature first requires shopping 
 
 
  
No escape to nature is complete without a trip to an outdoor recreational store or a browse through online offerings. This is the irony of the American outdoor experience: visiting wild spaces supposedly untouched by capitalism first requires shopping. With consumers spending billions of dollars on clothing and equipment each year as they seek out nature, the American outdoor sector grew over the past 150 years from a small collection of outfitters to an industry contributing more than 2 percent of the nation's economic output. 
 
 
  
Rachel S. Gross argues that this success was predicated not just on creating functional equipment but also on selling an authentic, anticommercial outdoor identity. In other words, shopping for the woods was also about being—or becoming—the right kind of person. Demonstrating that outdoor culture is commercial culture, Gross examines Americans' journey toward outdoor expertise by tracing the development of the nascent outdoor goods industry, the influence of World War II on its growth, and the boom years of outdoor businesses.

    The Nature Within Us - A Journey...

    We all live with questions that quietly shape our lives. 
Who are we, beneath the noise of expectations and beliefs? 
 What does it really mean to be good?   
 And how do we stay gentle — with ourselves and with each other — in a world that can feel so hard and unforgiving? 
The Nature Within Us is a reflective, deeply human exploration of love, reason, compassion, and the quiet courage it takes simply to care. Blending personal reflection, moral philosophy, psychology, and story, this book invites us to slow down and look honestly at what guides our choices — not with judgment, but with curiosity and kindness. 
Across its chapters, we explore forgiveness, empathy, fear, harm, responsibility, and the ways we stumble — and keep trying — to do right by one another. Some chapters are tender. Some are challenging. A few may stay with you long after you finish listening. 
This is not a book about perfection. 
 It is a book about being human — flawed, hopeful, learning, and trying again. 
If you’ve ever wondered what truly matters, or how we can build a more compassionate life — beginning with ourselves — The Nature Within Us is an invitation to walk that path together.
