Beyond Magenta: Transgender and Nonbinary Teens Speak Out by Susan Kuklin

5.0

As a person who has little experience with the transgender communities of LBGTQ+, Beyond Magenta by Susan Kuklin is beyond eye opening. It is a work of art and something all people, even those who are transgender, must read some day. Now, "non-fiction" is far from my preferred genre and yet Beyond Magenta feels more like home than any other book I've ever read. Being nearly 2/5 of the way done with it, I feel a connection to Jessy and the Christina and to who they were before and who they became. I feel empowered by their will to show the world that it's shittiness won't shoot them down. From stories of bullying to gender dysplasia to family's being far from accepting, Susan Kuklin does an amazing job organizing the recollections of the now transitioned men and women within the book. If you haven't already, take a look into this beauty that is Beyond Magenta and take the time to truly revel in its phenomenon
