Synopsis

In Trans Like Me, CN Lester takes listeners on a measured, thoughtful, intelligent yet approachable tour through the most important and high-profile narratives around the trans community, turning them inside out and examining where we really are in terms of progress. From the impact of the media's wording in covering trans people and issues, to the way parenting gender variant children is portrayed, Lester brings their charged personal narrative to every topic and expertly lays out the work left to be done.

Trans Like Me explores the ways that we are all defined by ideas of gender—whether we live as he, she, or they—and how we can strive for authenticity in a world that forces limiting labels.

Goodreads review by Chelsea on February 28, 2021

Common sense tells us that the trans experience is no walk in the park, but I was unprepared for just how bad it is. This book is startling. It’s painful to read and difficult to fully imagine. I came to this book because I have a total blindspot when it comes to the transgender experience - I have......more

Goodreads review by Blakeney on June 30, 2021

Thought-provoking, intelligently written and often surprising, this book does a good job of explaining all the different ways in which the world is built on the flawed assumption of a gender binary and how trans people can be misunderstood and discriminated against within it.
