Notes
What does it mean to be transgender? How do we discuss the subject? In this eye-opening book, CN Lester, academic and activist, takes us on a journey through some of the most pressing issues concerning the trans debate: from pronouns to Caitlyn Jenner; from feminist and LGBTQ activists to the rise in referrals for gender variant children – all by way of insightful and moving passages about the author’s own experience. TRANS LIKE ME shows us how to strive for authenticity in a world which often seeks to limit us by way of labels.
