Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out by Susan Kuklin

emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

2.0

very clearly written for cisgender readers, which would be fine if not for the author’s occasional transphobia and poor choices of commentary. strange and misplaced comments on trans bodies, particularly of trans masculine individuals, and odd choices of interjection sometimes felt as though the subject was being talked over. no effort was made to filter or correct some transphobic or otherwise harmful comments from some subjects. subjects’ stories were mostly very well told, though, and it was lovely to see their perspectives when the author was not the one speaking.
