Audiolibro American Teenager

From an award-winning journalist comes a vivid and moving portrait of eight
trans and nonbinary teenagers across the country, following their daily
triumphs, struggles, and all that encompasses growing up trans in America
today.
Media coverage tends to sensationalize the fight over how trans kids should be
allowed to live, but what is incredibly rare are the voices of the people at the
heart of this debate: transgender and gender nonconforming kids themselves. For
their groundbreaking new book, journalist Nico Lang spent a year traveling the
country to document the lives of transgender, nonbinary, and genderfluid teens
and their families.
From the tip of Florida's conservative panhandle to vibrant queer communities in
California, and from Texas churches to mosques in Illinois, American Teenager
gives readers a window into the lives of Wyatt, Rhydian, Mykah, Clint, Ruby,
Augie, Jack, and Kylie, eight teens who, despite what some lawmakers might want
us to believe, are truly just kids looking for a brighter future. Drawing on hundreds
of hours of on-the-ground interviews with them and the people in their
communities, American Teenager paints a vivid portrait of what it's actually like to
grow up trans today.
"With humor and compassion, Lang shows trans teenagers as they really are: kids
trying their best, day by day, to grow into their truest selves and fullest
potential."Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer: A Memoir
