Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out

We go through transitions every day. They are similar in that they are both breaking gender rules." - Cameron "When people say I look male or female, it messes up my head. - Nat "My family was okay with me being gay, but trans was a different issue for them. I think a lot of it was because they had no experience with it." - Luke In Beyond Magenta, six teens tell what it is like for them to be members of the transgender community.. "I've always loved my body, and now I love it even more because it fits how I feel." - Jessy "Learn your pronouns because I don't want to have to slap somebody tonight." - Christina "Transition? Everyone goes through one kind of transition or another. Except mine is maybe a little more extreme." - Mariah "Being trans is not the next step to being gay

Helpful This book helping me in my transition I love it. Lilly said Incredibly helpful. Absolutly love this book. I saw it at my school library and actually used as a reference for a project I did on the harms of transphobia, but I loved the book so much I just had to have my own copy. Its an easy read and you can easily jump around the stories so you don't have to read it from cover to cover. Since I myself am not transge. A good start This is a good intro book to the issues our transgender teens deal with. I do feel they focused on the "better" case scenarios. As hard as this tIme was/is for these teens, there are so many others that have had a much harder time with their friends, family or society.
