Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out by Susan Kuklin

2.0

i appreciate what this book was trying to achieve, and giving a voice to those from minorities can never really be a bad thing. but the execution was poor. those interviewed often reinforced gender stereotypes, but i can’t fault them for that because they are all teens and so it is to be expected that they don’t understand everything and make mistakes, but recording these mistakes didn’t seem necessary to me. all the stories blended a bit together, with little information from those more experienced and knowledgeable on trans issues than 15 years olds.

also the fact that the author is cis didn’t help the case
