Beyong Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out Written & Photographed by Susan Kuklin

Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak OutBeyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out by Susan Kuklin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this book for my #yearofya twitter chat about Banned Books. This nonfiction banned book was very illuminating with author Kuklin interviewing 6 teens in the transgender community. their stories are powerful, all different concerning gender fluidity, transgender questions, family acceptance or denial, transitioning and identity that is not female or male. Kuklin's style of writing was arresting - the teens would talk but when Kuklin speaks she uses Italic font. The Notes & Resources were essential comprising an Author's Note, About the Callen-Lourde Community Health Center, About Proud Theater, a Glossary, and Resources. Very Important for teens, adults, teachers, guidance counselors and school nurses.
