商品描述
The last decade has seen countless cases of women being fired, disciplined, protested or no-platformed for their views on sex and gender. Whether high-profile celebrities or previously unknown feminists, such women's vocal non-belief in 'gender identity' as a universal human condition bears a high social cost. These 'houndings' are often presented starkly, clinically, in headlines or fleeting social media moments, stripped of the true cost of holding such beliefs.
But what is the reality behind the headlines and noise? What are the true consequences of holding - and living with - such seemingly now-heretical thoughts?
Hounded charts the often hidden and unspoken harms women face for prioritising and defending sex-based language and rights. Outlining the often-bewildering array of tactics used by opponents against such women, as well as the resilience required to refuse to be silenced, Lindsay presents a compelling argument for recognition of the individual and social harms that are being enacted under the auspices of 'gender identity activism.'
This debut non-fiction book by award-winning poet and essayist Jenny Lindsay, whose own 'hounding' offers a unique perspective, is a solid, sane, witty but also compassionate account about the very human cost of this extraordinary cultural and political schism.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
在過去十年中,無數女性因為她們對性別和性別認同的看法而被解雇、受到紀律處分、抗議或被剝奪發言權。無論是高知名度的名人還是之前不為人知的女性主義者,這些女性對「性別認同」作為普遍人類條件的公開不信仰都承擔著高昂的社會成本。這些「追獵」通常在標題或瞬息萬變的社交媒體時刻中被呈現得非常明確、冷酷,卻剝奪了持有這些信念的真正代價。
但在這些標題和噪音背後的現實是什麼?持有並生活在這些看似現在被視為異端的思想中的真正後果是什麼?
《被追獵的女性》描繪了女性因優先考慮和捍衛基於性別的語言和權利而面臨的隱藏和未被言說的傷害。書中概述了反對者對這些女性所使用的各種令人困惑的策略,以及拒絕沉默所需的韌性,林賽提出了一個引人注目的論點,呼籲認識到在「性別認同運動」的名義下所造成的個人和社會傷害。
這本由獲獎詩人和散文家珍妮·林賽(Jenny Lindsay)所著的首部非小說類作品,提供了她自身「被追獵」的獨特視角,是一個堅實、理智、機智但也充滿同情心的敘述,關於這一非凡文化和政治裂痕所帶來的人類成本。
