The Annals of the TERF-Wars and Other Writing

The Annals of the Terf Wars and Other Writing brings together essays, speeches, Twitter threads, poetry, and one Star Wars inspired satirical play, written by the feminist philosopher Jane Clare Jones over the course of her many-year-involvement in the gender wars. Critically interrogating the intellectual history and conceptual structure of transgender ideology, this collection makes a compelling case for why the contemporary trans rights movement is not a progressive political force. Written with wit, clarity, and frequent exasperation, these frontline dispatches offer invaluable analysis of maybe the most remarkable political discourse devised in human history.

************************
"Jane Clare Jones is my go-to whenever I am upset, confused or just bloody angry about all the gender nonsense. She has a lethal intellect, a brilliant philosopher who can easily dissect the misogyny currently dressed up as ‘theory.’ Jane is the radical thinker we need for these conservative times. But best of all she is funny and fearless. You need to read her. Urgently." — Suzanne Moore

"Jane’s in-depth knowledge of the history of the transactivist movement, together with her unparalleled ability to demolish its baseless claims and appalling analogies, make her work a must-read for any feminist. That she does all this with wit, fire and sheer brilliance makes reading her a joy." — Helen Joyce

"An incisive, stimulating and at times laugh-out-loud read from one of the most original and brilliant feminist voices of our times." — Selina Todd
