While progress has been made in advancing the legal rights of trans people in the UK, there remain many challenges to achieving full legal equality for trans people. As history has shown, society evolves and attitudes shift, and so the legal journey of trans people in the UK continues.

For those interested in researching the legal journey of trans people, we have compiled a list of books and e-books from the library collections. These books include a range of perspectives on trans experiences and legal challenges in various areas such as employment, marriage, parenthood, healthcare, privacy and more. Some books focus on the UK, while others explore trans people and the law in other countries, thus providing a comparative view.
