Beyond Magenta: Transgender and Nonbinary Teens Speak Out by Susan Kuklin

2.0

Limited in scope and poorly edited. More like a photography monograph than a true representation of the community. What would have been cool is if the editor had interviewed the teens with trans adults and let compare experiences and learn from each other, or even just had the teens talk to each other as a group, not one-on-one. It would've changed the dynamic, which right now mostly consists of trans kids trying to explain what gender is to a cis person, rather than talking with someone who understands and is going through what they're going through. Disappointing, especially since there aren't a lot of books out there for trans kids. I hope some of them find this book and use it as a gateway to learning more from other, better sources.
