American Teenager - How Trans Kids Are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era

Nico Lang

Narrateur Nico Lang

Synopsis

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
