Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out by Susan Kuklin

This was published in 2014, and it does show it's age, which is good since it means progress has been made. It wasn't what I was expecting. While it's great and so important to let teens tell their own stories, there was almost zero input from the cisauthor to give any context to the stories. I felt really deeply for several of them, especially when it was obvious to this adult reader that these teens hadn't worked through some of their traumas. There was also a strong fatphobia overtone from more than one interviewee that was hard to read.

It was noteworthy in 2014, but I'd love to see something like this with more depth and brevity and collected by an trans editor.
